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"
Mere naseeb mein tu hai ke nahi
Tere naseeb mein main hoon ke nahi
Mere naseeb mein tu hai ke nahi
Tere naseeb mein main hoon ke nahi
Yeh hum kya jaane,
Yeh wahi jaane,
Jisne likha hai sab ka naseeb
Mere naseeb mein tu hai ke nahi
Tere naseeb mein main hoon ke nahi
Ek din khwab mein
Woh mujhe mil gaya
Ek din khwab mein
Woh mujhe mil gaya
Dekhkar jo mujhe
Phool sa khil gaya
Sharma gayi main haye haye,
ghabra gayi haye haye haye
Sharma gayi main haye haye,
ghabra gayi haye haye haye
Sharma gayi main, ghabra gayi main
Kehne laga woh aakar kareeb
Mere naseeb mein tu hai ke nahi
Tere naseeb mein main hoon ke nahi
Mere naseeb mein tu hai ke nahi
Tere naseeb mein main hoon ke nahi
Baat yeh khwab ki, sacch magar ho gayi
Baat yeh khwab ki, sacch magar ho gayi
Naujawan main tujhe, dekh kar ho gayi
Aankhen mili hain haye haye,
dil bhi mile haye haye haye
Aankhen mili hain haye haye
dil bhi mile haye haye haye
Aankhen mili hain,
dil bhi mile hain
Dekhe mile kab apne naseeb
Mere naseeb mein tu hai ke nahi
Tere naseeb mein main hoon ke nahi
Mere naseeb mein tu hai ke nahi
Tere naseeb mein main hoon ke nahi
Hum kahin phir mile,
ek hasin raat mein
Hum kahin phir mile
ek hasin raat mein
Baat yeh aa gayi,
phir kisi baat mein
Ab ke hua yeh haye haye
maine kaha haye haye haye
Ab ke hua yeh haye haye
maine kaha haye haye haye
Ab ke hua yeh, maine kaha yeh
Mujhko bataa de mere habeeb
Mere naseeb mein tu hai ke nahi
Tere naseeb mein main hoon ke nahi
Yeh hum kya jaane, yeh wahi jaane
jisne likha hai sab ka naseeb
Everybody, come on
Mere naseeb mein tu hai ke nahi
Tere naseeb mein main hoon ke nahi
Tere naseeb mein main hoon ke nahi
Mere naseeb mein tu hai ke nahi
Tere naseeb mein main hoon ke nahi
Yeh hum kya jaane,
Yeh wahi jaane,
Jisne likha hai sab ka naseeb
Mere naseeb mein tu hai ke nahi
Tere naseeb mein main hoon ke nahi
Ek din khwab mein
Woh mujhe mil gaya
Ek din khwab mein
Woh mujhe mil gaya
Dekhkar jo mujhe
Phool sa khil gaya
Sharma gayi main haye haye,
ghabra gayi haye haye haye
Sharma gayi main haye haye,
ghabra gayi haye haye haye
Sharma gayi main, ghabra gayi main
Kehne laga woh aakar kareeb
Mere naseeb mein tu hai ke nahi
Tere naseeb mein main hoon ke nahi
Mere naseeb mein tu hai ke nahi
Tere naseeb mein main hoon ke nahi
Baat yeh khwab ki, sacch magar ho gayi
Baat yeh khwab ki, sacch magar ho gayi
Naujawan main tujhe, dekh kar ho gayi
Aankhen mili hain haye haye,
dil bhi mile haye haye haye
Aankhen mili hain haye haye
dil bhi mile haye haye haye
Aankhen mili hain,
dil bhi mile hain
Dekhe mile kab apne naseeb
Mere naseeb mein tu hai ke nahi
Tere naseeb mein main hoon ke nahi
Mere naseeb mein tu hai ke nahi
Tere naseeb mein main hoon ke nahi
Hum kahin phir mile,
ek hasin raat mein
Hum kahin phir mile
ek hasin raat mein
Baat yeh aa gayi,
phir kisi baat mein
Ab ke hua yeh haye haye
maine kaha haye haye haye
Ab ke hua yeh haye haye
maine kaha haye haye haye
Ab ke hua yeh, maine kaha yeh
Mujhko bataa de mere habeeb
Mere naseeb mein tu hai ke nahi
Tere naseeb mein main hoon ke nahi
Yeh hum kya jaane, yeh wahi jaane
jisne likha hai sab ka naseeb
Everybody, come on
Mere naseeb mein tu hai ke nahi
Tere naseeb mein main hoon ke nahi

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.
