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"
Can I have your attention?
What are we starting here?
Just look around you 'cause the answer is clear
Listen, listen and hear the coming sound
All of the children are singing it loud
Let's be the revolution
That lives for holding nothing back, nothing back
We're after Your heart, after Your heart
All of the walls now are breaking apart
Live like we see it, love like we mean it
This is the start we're after Your heart
Start the ascension, begin the holy climb
Up to where heaven and the earth collide
Bring your affection all that you have inside
Enter the kingdom and become alive
'Cause love with no condition
It lives for holding nothing back, nothing back
We're after Your heart, after Your heart
All of the walls now are breaking apart
Live like we see it, love like we mean it
This is the start we're after Your heart
Oh, let's go higher and higher
Hear the sound of the free
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Lift your soul join with the choir
Sing the song, let it ring
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
We're after Your heart
Never going to stop until we reach You
We're after Your heart, after Your heart
All of the walls now are breaking apart
Live like we see it, love like we mean it
This is the start we're after Your heart
We're after Your heart
Never going to stop until we reach You
What are we starting here?
Just look around you 'cause the answer is clear
Listen, listen and hear the coming sound
All of the children are singing it loud
Let's be the revolution
That lives for holding nothing back, nothing back
We're after Your heart, after Your heart
All of the walls now are breaking apart
Live like we see it, love like we mean it
This is the start we're after Your heart
Start the ascension, begin the holy climb
Up to where heaven and the earth collide
Bring your affection all that you have inside
Enter the kingdom and become alive
'Cause love with no condition
It lives for holding nothing back, nothing back
We're after Your heart, after Your heart
All of the walls now are breaking apart
Live like we see it, love like we mean it
This is the start we're after Your heart
Oh, let's go higher and higher
Hear the sound of the free
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Lift your soul join with the choir
Sing the song, let it ring
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
We're after Your heart
Never going to stop until we reach You
We're after Your heart, after Your heart
All of the walls now are breaking apart
Live like we see it, love like we mean it
This is the start we're after Your heart
We're after Your heart
Never going to stop until we reach You

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.

Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.

I love this song! It's talking about how Christians are to live their lives for Christ. It's for time for the children of God to start living completely for Him and to the fullest. It's time for us to love God and others with all of our hearts! LET'S be the revolution!!
i love this song, and i've only heard it once! i was really surprised by it because i was expecting it to be like true love and divine romance, which are good, but slow, but this is upbeat
