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"
(chorus
It's been along time comin' but I know change gon come.
It's been a long time comin' but I know change gon come
(verse 1)
It's been a long time coming since 1995 and a year after that, that's when 2pac died. I don't think you know what I've been through. Will i was growin' I always had a lame ass crew. And sometimes it feels like I jumped of a building and flew. Just like 2weeks ago i almost got sued for stealing my niggaz bike. Hell no I'm not gonna say sike. And I know change gon come. Somday After I die you'll all start cryin' and I'mma be flyin' watchin' all my niggas sighin'. ANd I'm just gonna be timin' how its been takin me to climb in. And I asked god, "Why was I always lyin" and he said "cause you did it my way and went the highway. After that I said "ohh i thought is was the skyway cause I always wanted to fly away. And I still can't wait till that day, to say, " I'm made it here can't cha hear. And I hear fear in your voice don't worry this shit is gonna be far better. You better get the bretta. Can ya? Send ya angels. You know what I'll just change my angle? Ohh and do you really wanna see this body dangle.
(chorus)
Verse2
It's been a long time comin'. I came for the sake of hip-hop cause niggas be comin up with fake stuff. So have you ever seen your dad get cuffed I have. When I saw it I thought my dad was gonna get hit with that pistol. One time I saw my uncle hit my aunt with a crystal. and they're brother and sister. And now I wished i kissed ha on her forhead and said everything's gonna be okay.And what my cousin said was right most of the people in my dad's family is some punk ass bitches. And where I grew up Snitches got stitches.but I hope change is gon come quick cause I think kanye's gonna quit.
I'm SO close to being apart of this shit and i already know I;m sick. And if you don't like me you can suck my dick. I'll slam ya on ur back and then kick. Don't close the curtain on me cause I'm not famous cause I'm the same as 2pac tryin to change us. And fuck all ya'll if you doubt me cause you don't know shit about me

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.
Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
