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"
I must say that I worry for
You can't live like this no more
I must say that I worry for you
I must say that I worry for
Our love in this cold war
I must say that I worry for you
Took me by surprise that I just didn't see
She had her dark past, her broken heart
And she wants it loved
But in the darkest of times
She won't be honest with lies
Put her words in a fancy dress
And we'll keep up this disguise
But no longer it's not getting stronger
No longer for me
I must say that I worry for
You can't live like this no more
I must say that I worry for you
But you, But you don't wanna think no more
Passed out on your bedroom floor
I must say that I worry for you
Took me by surprise a man once made a key
To open her dark heart
He broke apart what was once in love
But it's clear now to see
That man, he was me and so I go far, far
Without her, don't you follow me
And no longer we're not getting stronger
No longer for me
I must say that I worry for
You can't live like this no more
I must say that I worry for you
I must say that I worry for
Our love in this cold war
I must say that I worry for you
I worry for you i worry for you
I worry for you i worry for you
I'm just saying that I worry for
I'm just saying that I worry for
I'm just saying that I worry for
And I'm just saying that I worry for
I'm just saying that I worry for
You can't live like this no more
I must say that I worry for you
I must say that I worry for
Our love in this cold war
I must say that I worry for you
Took me by surprise that I just didn't see
She had her dark past, her broken heart
And she wants it loved
But in the darkest of times
She won't be honest with lies
Put her words in a fancy dress
And we'll keep up this disguise
But no longer it's not getting stronger
No longer for me
I must say that I worry for
You can't live like this no more
I must say that I worry for you
But you, But you don't wanna think no more
Passed out on your bedroom floor
I must say that I worry for you
Took me by surprise a man once made a key
To open her dark heart
He broke apart what was once in love
But it's clear now to see
That man, he was me and so I go far, far
Without her, don't you follow me
And no longer we're not getting stronger
No longer for me
I must say that I worry for
You can't live like this no more
I must say that I worry for you
I must say that I worry for
Our love in this cold war
I must say that I worry for you
I worry for you i worry for you
I worry for you i worry for you
I'm just saying that I worry for
I'm just saying that I worry for
I'm just saying that I worry for
And I'm just saying that I worry for
I'm just saying that I worry for

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.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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 think that lyric is speaking for oneself...but i have to say that Hugh did very good job singing the song!He has so pretty voice!
i love hughs voice on this. when was this realesed and where can i get it?
it's on rak which came with konk. It's alright, typical relationship troubles...
I think this song's about a guy that is with a girl that had a "dark past of broken hearts", she's gotten her heart broken many times. and that she pretends like everything's okay, she "puts her words in a fancy dress". "But no longer, it's not getting stronger, no longer for me" means that ever since she met the guy, she stopped pretending. and it's not getting better, it's not getting "stronger" "But you don't wanna think no more, passed out on your bedroom floor" she started taking pills or something. "I must say that I worry for you.... you can't live like this no more." the guy is saying that he's worried but the girl doesn't listen. "A man once made a key, to open her dark heart, he broke apart what was once in love, but it's clear now to see, that man, he was me" he kinda blames himself, he thinks that he's causing her pain and misery. "And so I go afar, far, away from here, Don't you follow me" he wants to leave because he thinks that she'll be better if he left. and maybe the "don't you follow me" part means that the girl loves him and he doesn't want him to leave, or something...
