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"
Cause I know that this will never work out
So it shouldn't even start
Cause I'm just a kid at heart
And you know that it's such a waste
Cause I hate that bitter taste
And your bittersweet embrace
I feel this has gone to my head
?????????????????????????????????(Mou kore ijou nome masen)
I'll never drink again
Twisting and turning, like the strands of your hair
There's smoke in the air
But baby I don't care
Cause I don't know what you came here for
Rising through the clouds into light
That's from the stars; now you fall
Down into my arms
This is where we are from
The town where nothing goes on
Production line values we covert so high
Waiting for our own special moment to die
I got lost to find myself
Some quiet noise, some mental health
The street's alive with glowing light
I wanna be with you tonight
Cause everything's gone; it's been wiped out
The fire's spread to the basement now
Through every part of me
I feel a change in the pace
As hearts start to race
Down a path ripped from space
I know I should run and I should fight
But the look in your eyes:
I could die here tonight
Cause I don't know what you came here for
Rising through the clouds into light
That's from the stars; now you fall
Down into my arms
This is where we are from
The town where nothing goes on
Fear of failure, we're moving so slow
Like statues, c'mon get your coat time to go
I got lost to find myself
Some quiet noise, some mental health
The street's alive with glowing light
I wanna be with you tonight
Cause everything's gone; it's been wiped out
The fire's spread to the basement now
Through every part of me
Through every part of me
Through every part of me
Cause I don't know what you came here for
Cause I don't know what you came here for
(What you came here, you came here)
You came here for
So it shouldn't even start
Cause I'm just a kid at heart
And you know that it's such a waste
Cause I hate that bitter taste
And your bittersweet embrace
I feel this has gone to my head
?????????????????????????????????(Mou kore ijou nome masen)
I'll never drink again
Twisting and turning, like the strands of your hair
There's smoke in the air
But baby I don't care
Cause I don't know what you came here for
Rising through the clouds into light
That's from the stars; now you fall
Down into my arms
This is where we are from
The town where nothing goes on
Production line values we covert so high
Waiting for our own special moment to die
I got lost to find myself
Some quiet noise, some mental health
The street's alive with glowing light
I wanna be with you tonight
Cause everything's gone; it's been wiped out
The fire's spread to the basement now
Through every part of me
I feel a change in the pace
As hearts start to race
Down a path ripped from space
I know I should run and I should fight
But the look in your eyes:
I could die here tonight
Cause I don't know what you came here for
Rising through the clouds into light
That's from the stars; now you fall
Down into my arms
This is where we are from
The town where nothing goes on
Fear of failure, we're moving so slow
Like statues, c'mon get your coat time to go
I got lost to find myself
Some quiet noise, some mental health
The street's alive with glowing light
I wanna be with you tonight
Cause everything's gone; it's been wiped out
The fire's spread to the basement now
Through every part of me
Through every part of me
Through every part of me
Cause I don't know what you came here for
Cause I don't know what you came here for
(What you came here, you came here)
You came here for

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.
