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"
were here to
bring the people and the music and the movement all together now
we see through
repetitive etiquette and the highly unoriginal
were here to
bring the people and the music and the movement all together now
they will lose
check it out now, check it out now
this is a necessary change from the grim simple and plain
gonna exercise that brain to break the chain pain is a part of gain
no need to explain
we innovate to generate an intricately interwoven tapestry
of musical and ethical epiphanies
the interest is minimal
im on an awsome mission with an angel
that can take it all the way to where the sun is
just like a runner loving running
tryina turn it into a simple symphony
simple sentiment adrenaline is coming back
im in the innercity, where i gotta be a superstar
id rather be a galaxy
but how you see is so dependent on the medicine the rhetoric
and how at any second you think you could sit on the brink of this
world is all asleep and i have no apologies
i breathe
keep my sight on what we ride on
let bygones be bygones
the migraines dont sidetrack
my final destination nothing rivals predetermination
to exterminate the germination
of a nation that accepts anything thats thrown in its fat face
cause when theres nothing left
theres no more point to the rat race
we dont waste a minute of the day
dont be offended what im saying
trying to send it all way to another stage
a creative alternator rated and greater
the crazy maniac mellodies end up all up in your face wait
success aint only based on self esteem
it takes a sense to differentiate between
whats yours and someone elses dreams
i felt the screams climbing up my cold spine
saying nows the time to put in all the energy
to get rid of the enemy... i said it so..
were here to
bring the people and the music and the movement all together now
we see through
repetitive etiquette and the highly unoriginal
were here to
bring the people and the music and the movement all together now
they will lose
sick of the same old thing
free us and touch what we cant see
twist that knife and watch him bleed
lost inside its way too deep
someone choke me
help me breathe
run from mistakes
right in my face
feels like im running in place
bring the people and the music and the movement all together now
we see through
repetitive etiquette and the highly unoriginal
were here to
bring the people and the music and the movement all together now

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,
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.
Ok, anybody got any suggestions on the ridiculously long fast part?
For a start, I'm pretty sure it's "I'm on a muscle messin' with an angle" rather than "I'm on an awesome mission with an angel" ... ha. Other mistakes... it's "simple simile" not "simple symphony".
Apart from that I can't really work out what the hell is going on... the bit after "runner lover running" and "medicine the rhetoric" are just way too impossible. I also think "the interest is minimal" is wrong but can't really figure out what he could be saying. Any suggestions on this would be great.
