This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"
And here I go again,
Struggling the same way I did before.
Stuck at the same dead end,
But finding that I'm liking it more and more.
And here I go again.
And here I go again.
And here I go again,
Struggling the same way I did before.
Stuck at the same dead end
But finding that I'm liking it (here?) more and more.
It's so repetitive-
All the words that spill out of my tongue.
I hope that you don't mind.
I sing it all the time.
It's always on my mind,
But I cant seem to find another way.
And all I ever want and all I ever need is you.
In the shadow of the doubt, you always seem to pull me through.
But my words are growing old and all I need to do,
Is find a new way to say "I love you."
We spent so many nights trying hard to fix what wasn't right.
But it was only time, and time away is time spent on the run.
I never doubted you, I just couldn't seem to find my way.
But I was crumbling.
My words were stumbling.
The truth was humbling.
And all it took was just one more chance to say
All I ever want and all I ever need is you.
In the shadow of the doubt, you always seem to pull me through.
But I'm takin' every step to find my way to you.
I know you'll understand that your lovin' gets me through.
My words are growing old and all I need to do,
Is find a new way to say "I love you."
(Oh, oh.)
It's where I wanna be. It's where I wanna be.
You know I need you by my side.
I promise that I'll do my best to understand.
And all I ever want and all I ever need is you.
In the shadow of the doubt, you always seem to pull me through.
But my words are growing old and all I need to do,
is find a new way to say "i love you"
And all I ever want and all I ever need is you.
(All I ever want and all I ever need is you.)
In the shadow of the doubt, you always seem to pull me through.
But I'm takin' every step to find my way to you.
I know you'll understand that your lovin' gets me through.
My words are growing old and all I need to do,
Is find a new way to say "I love you."
Struggling the same way I did before.
Stuck at the same dead end,
But finding that I'm liking it more and more.
And here I go again.
And here I go again.
And here I go again,
Struggling the same way I did before.
Stuck at the same dead end
But finding that I'm liking it (here?) more and more.
It's so repetitive-
All the words that spill out of my tongue.
I hope that you don't mind.
I sing it all the time.
It's always on my mind,
But I cant seem to find another way.
And all I ever want and all I ever need is you.
In the shadow of the doubt, you always seem to pull me through.
But my words are growing old and all I need to do,

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
He's saying that he loves her, but that the word has lost its meaning, and he's trying to find a new word
