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"
If all we talk about is money
Nothing will be funny, honey
And now that everyone's a critic
It's makin' my mascara runny
If we only talk about the "Heathers"
Making it together, is crazy
If we don't get a new situation
For our busted nation, we're lazy
But it's gonna be
It's gonna be
Please make it be
It's gonna be
Now if a princess becomes human
Don't stone her on a talk show, you'll ruin
Cause there's a fine line between a skewer
And a decent sense of humor
Aim at the ones who've really hurt us
They should be arrested for murders
But then all the cameras were turned on
Some skinny naked blond eating burgers
But it's gonna be
It's gonna be
It's gonna be
It's gonna be
It's gonna be
It's gonna be
Please make it be
Let's make it be
It's gonna be
It's gonna be
It's gonna be
Be, be, be, be
Nothing will be funny, honey
And now that everyone's a critic
It's makin' my mascara runny
If we only talk about the "Heathers"
Making it together, is crazy
If we don't get a new situation
For our busted nation, we're lazy
But it's gonna be
It's gonna be
Please make it be
It's gonna be
Now if a princess becomes human
Don't stone her on a talk show, you'll ruin
Cause there's a fine line between a skewer
And a decent sense of humor
Aim at the ones who've really hurt us
They should be arrested for murders
But then all the cameras were turned on
Some skinny naked blond eating burgers
But it's gonna be
It's gonna be
It's gonna be
It's gonna be
It's gonna be
It's gonna be
Please make it be
Let's make it be
It's gonna be
It's gonna be
It's gonna be
Be, be, be, be

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

Blue

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.
This is the fastest paced one from the album, i really enjoy this "new side" of Norah Jones, if anyone out there still feels the need to call her a bore and very melanchol then they should turn up this song and pay attention.
And it is actually "And now that everyone's a critic it's making my mascara runny" and also it's "if only talk about 'the heathers' making it together is crazy" I know the Heather's is a movie but i don't really get the reference, Maybe it just rhymed,, ?
Perhaps you had a different version, but I hear the lyrics differently.
It should be:
If all we talk about is money Nothing will be funny honey Now that everyone's a critic It's making my mascara runny If we only talk about the Heathers Making it together is crazy If we don't get a new situation for our busted nation, We're lazy
It's gonna be It's gonna be Please make it be It's gonna be
Now if a princess becomes human Don't stone her on a talk show You'll ruin 'Cause there's a fine line between a skewer And a decent sense of humor And all the ones who really hurt us They should be arrested for murders And then all the cameras were turned on to Some skinny naked blonde eating burgers
It's gonna be It's gonna be It's gonna be It's gonna be
It's gonna be It's gonna be Please make it be Make it be
It's gonna be x3
The Heathers reference is to the movie where these pretty and wealthy but messed up girls waste their lives and create all sorts of drama in the lives of others and in their own. I think she's using this to say that our culture spends a lot of time giving the Paris' and Lindsays and Britneys of the world too much attention. We concern ourselves with such trivial trash when we should be focusing on more important issues. I think the second verse is just a comment on how our society is obsessed with image and weight and food. The song itself is her way of saying look at the condition of our society.Letting ourselves be constantly concerned with the state of the economy or our body image or the lives of others isn't getting us anywhere. We need more positive, intelligent images and thoughts because otherwise, we're just sucking the joy out of life.
i think it is
Aim at the ones who really hurt they should be arrested for murders.
i thought it was "weather" and not heather's. and I thought this was about our economy, debt, corrupt politics, and television propaganda.
