This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
The nicest man I ever met
Was more malicious than malcontent
Yeah, he taught me how to hold my tongue
And wait to strike till their backs were turned
And you slither away like the snake that you are
Yeah, you slither away like the snake that you are
All I ever did was look up to you
And if all I ever did was let, let you down
Ain't nothing stopping me now
Divinities fell correctly beneath
The receding pride of his twenties
Was capital M-E
(I couldn't self describe)
Was capital M-E
(But you can't say I didn't try)
So you say what you want
(Maybe I didn't get my way)
So you say what you want
(Maybe I didn't get my way)
I got, I got away
All I ever did was look up to you
And if all I ever did was let, let you down
Ain't nothing stopping me now
Was it everything you hoped for?
Was it all that and more?
Too much, too soon
Or too good to be true
Was it everything you hoped for?
Was it all that and more?
All I ever did was look up to you
And if all I ever did was let, let you down
Ain't nothing stopping me now
All I ever did was look up to you
And if all I ever did was let, let you down
Ain't nothing stopping me now
Was more malicious than malcontent
Yeah, he taught me how to hold my tongue
And wait to strike till their backs were turned
And you slither away like the snake that you are
Yeah, you slither away like the snake that you are
All I ever did was look up to you
And if all I ever did was let, let you down
Ain't nothing stopping me now
Divinities fell correctly beneath
The receding pride of his twenties
Was capital M-E
(I couldn't self describe)
Was capital M-E
(But you can't say I didn't try)
So you say what you want
(Maybe I didn't get my way)
So you say what you want
(Maybe I didn't get my way)
I got, I got away
All I ever did was look up to you
And if all I ever did was let, let you down
Ain't nothing stopping me now
Was it everything you hoped for?
Was it all that and more?
Too much, too soon
Or too good to be true
Was it everything you hoped for?
Was it all that and more?
All I ever did was look up to you
And if all I ever did was let, let you down
Ain't nothing stopping me now
All I ever did was look up to you
And if all I ever did was let, let you down
Ain't nothing stopping me now

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.
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.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
It seems like most of TBS's songs are about former band mates. And like somebody said it seems like every new album has a different lineup. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm
This song's about Fred.
i liked them better with the first guy than this dude
The first guy was John Nolan, who then went on to form straylight run, a brilliant band, so im glad he left taking back sunday. Seems like everyone who leaves tbs goes on to be in a brilliant band, apart from fred of course whose album was distinctly avarage!
this song is about fred and how he talked trash about the band
"the nicest man i ever met was more malicious than malcontent yeah, he taught me how to hold my tongue and wait to strike 'til their backs were turned"
means that when fred was in the band he was just as nice as he can be, but when he left he stabbed them in the back.
For those that are wondering about the tension between TBS and Fred, this quote is by Fred after leaving TBS. "There were just problems between the five of us about writing, who was going to do it and how we were going to do it, we weren't being very productive because we were fighting too much about that stuff. The band was more about cooking food than making music."
Comments like these caused Adam to write Summer, Man and Capital M-E.
good song... the only correction i have is:
"and nothing's stopping me now"
should be
"ain't nothing stopping me now"
This song is at first hard for me to find good... It's about fred. I liked him and still do. The song itself sounds like it was made by fred himself.. it had some similarities with his songs on tcf. I think Adam did this on purpose. the part were "but i got, i got away." was a patented Fred tone.. If he was still in TBS he would surely sing that line...
I didn't know that they had a bad breakup. About Fred or not this is an unbelievably good song.
The break up in public seemed like it was nice, but Fred did say he would turn in songs, and they always refused to use them and he was real upset about that. Then fred wrote the song "complaintor" directly about being in TBS. So i suppose they are just writing their comeback at him
so typical TBS... this hypes their two bands more... Like they did with Brand New...
How is that typical? When you write, you write what you feel. Obviously Adam felt this way at the time so he wrote about it. Same with Jessey Lacey and Fred Mascherino.
The meaning behind this and Summer Man kinda make me lose respect for Adam as a person, but the song itself does sound great.
I've seen several different videos where the members of TBS would comment on how mean Fred could/would be. So I'm no surprised by the opening lines of this song.
Whoops, I didn't mean to reply to your comment beautifulbreakdown. I failed to see the comment box below. First-timer.
