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"
Rest easily,
In the bed of another man's tired old queen.
I cannot wait for love
If it comes as fast as he did.
Rest easily,
In the bed of another man's tired old queen.
I cannot wait for love
If it comes as fast as he did, well, shit
That's two minutes well-spent
That she spent with him
So stay home
In bed alone
All because of you, all because of you,
Now I can't stand it.
In all that I do, all that I do,
I see the scarlet branding.
Mother, you know I'm sorry,
But sorry's pregnant with remorse
And when remorse is born, remorse won't see
An ounce of child support.
She won't, no, she won't no, she won't.
She won't
She
Go ahead
No wait
Wait
Ok go ahead
Wait eagerly,
Because tonight I'm another man's brand new queen
Why should I wait for love,
If it comes as fast as he did?
He said, "Wait, she's with me
So send that other man walking
With his two left feet"
Now I hate my love
And now the other man's floating in the dead man's sea
And he's floating face-down, 'cause he's a dead man, see?
So stay home
In bed alone
All because of you, all because of you,
Now I can't stand it.
In all that I do, all that I do,
I see the scarlet branding.
Mother, you know I'm sorry,
But sorry's pregnant with remorse
And when remorse is born, remorse won't see
An ounce of child support.
She won't, no, she won't, no
No, she will not.
Don't you cry mama, we'll,
We'll be okay.
In the bed of another man's tired old queen.
I cannot wait for love
If it comes as fast as he did.
Rest easily,
In the bed of another man's tired old queen.
I cannot wait for love
If it comes as fast as he did, well, shit
That's two minutes well-spent
That she spent with him
So stay home
In bed alone
All because of you, all because of you,
Now I can't stand it.
In all that I do, all that I do,
I see the scarlet branding.
Mother, you know I'm sorry,
But sorry's pregnant with remorse
And when remorse is born, remorse won't see
An ounce of child support.
She won't, no, she won't no, she won't.
She won't
She
Go ahead
No wait
Wait
Ok go ahead
Wait eagerly,
Because tonight I'm another man's brand new queen
Why should I wait for love,
If it comes as fast as he did?
He said, "Wait, she's with me
So send that other man walking
With his two left feet"
Now I hate my love
And now the other man's floating in the dead man's sea
And he's floating face-down, 'cause he's a dead man, see?
So stay home
In bed alone
All because of you, all because of you,
Now I can't stand it.
In all that I do, all that I do,
I see the scarlet branding.
Mother, you know I'm sorry,
But sorry's pregnant with remorse
And when remorse is born, remorse won't see
An ounce of child support.
She won't, no, she won't, no
No, she will not.
Don't you cry mama, we'll,
We'll be okay.

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.

Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
I recently saw these guys and Jason gave a small talk on certain points in his life which has impacted on him majorly and i believe that in this song he is talking about the time when he caught his mother in bed with another man.
His father had died earlier in his life hence why these events took place, very good song and an amazing yet intense life he has lived so far.
