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"
Jeffery are you listening?
Blessed are the criminals that pursue crime as a hobby
As soldier who kill the enemy for fun
As hookers prostituting for joy.
Tall trees and submarines
Skin deep abrasions.
God's children serving dearly
Should be forgiven.
Jeffery are you listening?
Are you listening?
Out of their fierce bellies.
Like a swordfish dance hall metholyptus cough drops you on your ass.
I'm encountering a strange revival
That of the mind.
Thinking,un-obsessed,scrutinizing
Mechanism of our human experience.
Unlike the staggering loop forced contemplations
Of the ego based mind of trouble and canoes.
I am rencountering the thriving pinnacle
Of the expansive existential thought processes.
Jeffery are you listening?
Out of their fierce bellies.
Like a swordfish dance hall metholyptus cough drops you on your ass.
On the other foot,
Why not laugh?
Laugh of well being,
For it is that which drives us men to evolve.
Its the trick of life,Jeffery are fucking you listening?
We are freezing standing in front of our electric heaters,nuking our food.
We are tired of your transparent "Who pays the bills sets the ways" foreign policy.
We are tired of sending our troops to foreign soils to die,not knowing why,and who's interest they were sacrificed for.
We are ashamed to see the way you take care of your people,by cutting social services,and aid to those most in need.
Explain me something
How could the richest country in the world have starving children?
Heres the fucking point
Nations and their governments should provide,protect,and serve it's citizens.
Not the interest of the multinationals.

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.
Holiday
Bee Gees
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

Fixed,I knew that part was wrong but couldnt figure out the "metholyptus cough" part.
