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"
I, I, just died in your eyes, eyes
Just died in your eyes, eyes
Just died in your eyes
There's a silence in the air tonight
There's a secret we can't hide behind, no more
There's a distance we don't dare to go
And a million things that I don't wanna know
Your hands start undressing me
Your lips won't stop kissing me
I hear you say you love me
But baby you're lying, lying
I see the truth your hiding, hiding
I look at you and I, I, just died in your eyes, eyes
Before I start crying, crying
Give a reason for trying, trying
The one thing that keeps me alive
I, just died in your eyes, eyes
Just died in your eyes, eyes
From the window I've been looking through
I have seen the end of me and you
Oh, oh
And it's not about who's right or wrong
When you wake up in the morning I'll be gone
Your hands start undressing me
Your lips won't stop kissing me
I hear you say you love me
But baby you're lying, lying
I see the truth your hiding, hiding
I look at you and I, I, just died in your eyes, eyes
Before I start crying, crying
Give a reason for trying, trying
The one thing that keeps me alive
I, just died in your eyes, eyes
Just died in your eyes, eyes
My hopes, my dreams, all I believe
Just died, died, just died in your eyes, eyes
Baby, and all I know is what matters most
Just died, died, just died in your eyes, eyes
Just died in your eyes, eyes
There's a silence in the air tonight
There's a secret we can't hide behind no more
But baby, you're lying, lying
I see the truth you're hiding, hiding
I look at you and I, I
Just died in your eyes, eyes
Before I start crying, crying
Give me a reason for trying, trying
The one thing that keeps me alive, I
Just died in your eyes, eyes
Just died in your eyes, eyes
I, I just died in your eyes, eyes
Just died in your eyes, eyes
Just died in your
I, I Just died in your eyes, eyes
Just died in your eyes, eyes
Just died in your eyes, eyes
Just died in your eyes, eyes
Just died in your eyes, eyes
Just died in your eyes, eyes
Just died in your eyes, eyes
Just died in your eyes, eyes
Just died in your eyes, eyes
Just died in your eyes, eyes
Just died in your eyes, eyes
Just died in your eyes
Just died in your eyes, eyes
Just died in your eyes
There's a silence in the air tonight
There's a secret we can't hide behind, no more
There's a distance we don't dare to go
And a million things that I don't wanna know
Your hands start undressing me
Your lips won't stop kissing me
I hear you say you love me
But baby you're lying, lying
I see the truth your hiding, hiding
I look at you and I, I, just died in your eyes, eyes
Before I start crying, crying
Give a reason for trying, trying

Just died in your eyes, eyes
From the window I've been looking through
I have seen the end of me and you
Oh, oh
And it's not about who's right or wrong
When you wake up in the morning I'll be gone
Your hands start undressing me

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.

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”

Ed Sheeran
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 think this song is truly beautiful!
In my opinion, I think this song is about two people in a relationship who just don't love each other anymore, but stay together to try and make their relationship work.
"Before I start crying, crying, Give me a reason for trying, trying" - The girl wants to keep trying and make the relationship work, but she doesn't know what else to do and what is left to hold on to.
"From the window I've been looking through, I have seen the end of me and you. Oh, oh. And it's not about who's right or wrong. When you wake up in the morning I'll be gone."
I think this verse means that went she looks into the future, she knows they won't be together anymore and she predicted the end right from the start. The line 'It's not about who's right or wrong', could mean that this isn't just another silly argument, it's more serious this time, you can't just pin the blame on each other like before. This time, she is leaving for good and not coming back.
