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"
Hol up
Chamillitary mayne
All pussy niggaz make your way
To the exit right now
It's finna go down
How you up on the East and West
And you ain't heard about me
That's like claimin you a boxer
And ain't heard of Ali
Breaking off pussy niggaz saying words about me
Definition of a real nigga is a certified me
I'm passing through customs with American l D
Puerto Rican at the gate telling me Hurry Papi
Southwestern Airlines with the burner I'll be
Letting one off in the air the other sure to fly free
If you hating Tough nigga turn that dude to a stutterer
Govern like I'm a Governor from the south I'm a Southerner
I'm never loving her I just put rubber gloves in her
And I go get another hoe when her lover discovers her
(Haha) you niggaz know you in trouble
I'm more trouble if you don't know the hell you in trouble for
But please please don't make the punisher punish ya
If you gotta girl then don't get a beat down because of her
Yo metal metal hit yo head with the barrel
Make yo head cave in have yo head looking barrow
Then I head to the ghetto to get rid of my metal
Vehicle changing orange to the red to the yellow
Chamillionaire one of the south's harder's lyricist
Now you pussy's hearing this salute the color changing pyramid
Other boys is trouble other boys is gimmicks kid
If you speak up for em then yo career disappear with his
Southern niggaz don't dance
We be sagging our pants
So low you could see our boxers mayne
We body rock
We body rock (What else)
We body rock
We body rock (For sho)
Southern niggaz don't dance
We be sagging our pants
So low you could see our boxers mayne
We body rock
We body rock (What else)
We body rock body rock body rock (Mayne)
Only imagine how close
All the diamonds in the jewel sit
Invisible set canary yellow
As a tulip
I could spit some calm words
To you through my two lips
Or I could have them hollow tips
Popping out them two clips
You pick don't run up on me
With your tool slick
I be damned if I get jacked with a strap
Up under my blue knit
Don't do nothing foolish cause I'll completely loose it
Give a player a new breathin hole with a pool stick
I got hoes square rooted doubles and cubics
They be come in groups of two or more
And they be wanting to do it
Got females that do lick and some that strictly do dick
And if your freaky prove it I'll go get the cool whip
If you love yourself so much that you don't want to prove it
You can get up outta here and you could get excluded
Don't know what click that you with I'm king of the new click
(What click) click color change clack rap I plan to rule this
Southern niggaz don't dance
We be sagging our pants
So low you could see our boxers mayne
We body rock
We body rock (What else)
We body rock
We body rock (For sho)
Southern niggaz don't dance
We be sagging our pants
So low you could see our boxers mayne
We body rock

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.
I Can't Go To Sleep

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
Punchline

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.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
