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"
(Hail Mary, Hail Mary, Hail Mary)
It's Trigga
(Trig, what's happenin' nigga?)
I got that game (I got that game)
I caught a play (I caught a play)
We going long (we going long)
Do what I say (do what I say)
I've got my game face on (yeah, yeah, yeah)
I got my game face on, come on
I got my choppa in my 'rari
In case I see my enemy
I don't know what's gotten into me
Tonight I'm on this Hennessy
I won't usually do the brown
But tonight is special (special)
Sam Rothstein be my agenda, yeah my special
My 2 door is retarded, I call that bitch special-ed
I don't even know her name, I just call her special
Another year, same haters, usual suspects
Word 'bout another nigga, I swear that shit is suspect
Keyser Soze, sold the yay' and I got away
Hit the club, there fresh, in case I die today
Hail Mary, told her it's the world, ain't got shit to lose
'Bout to go long, celebrate, like I'm Victor Cruz
Hey girl you say you like it deep, (Hail Mary) Hail Mary
Hey girl you know the play, (Hail Mary) Hail Mary
Tonight we going long, (Yeah) We be going long
Hey huddle up, (Huddle up) Hail Mary
I ain't tryna punt, (Tryna punt) Hail Mary
Tonight we going long
We be going long (Hail Mary)
Whatever you want I got it
Got a drop-top in my pocket
You pop it, you watch it
Keep on poppin' and I'mma drop it
So hard to be alone, anyone will go
But right here at this moment you the one I want to roll so
You got the ball baby, it's in your hands
I'ma be the coach, I'ma let you know the plan
What's next is, baby you and me exitin'
What now? I'ma get you naked, do a little bit of sexin'
Touch down
And once you let me score, I'ma wanna score again
Double O, triple O, baby I'ma play to win
You say the best stuff, and see some good D
Hey girl I heard you like it deep
Hey girl you say you like it deep, (Hail Mary) Hail Mary
Hey girl you know the play, (Hail Mary) Hail Mary
Tonight we going long, (Yeah) We be going long
Hey huddle up, (Huddle up) Hail Mary
I ain't tryna punt, (Tryna punt) Hail Mary
Tonight we going long
We be going long (Hail Mary)
Tunechi in this muthafucka
Hail Mary full of grace
I don't remember her name, but I remember how her pussy taste
I go long, so long, she love the way that I put it down
Gotcha going in circles, all you gotta do is look around
I'm Mr Right and she Miss Tonight, pussy so nice gotta kiss it twice
Pussy so tight my tongue get stuck, my tongue get stuck like licking ice
Hoes call me QB, I throw that dick too deep
I told her shes the preachers wife, she said practice what you preach
She said ah me so horny, he love me long time
I say how bout 69, she say numbers don't lie
I say true you ain't never told no lie, you ain't never told no lie
And you know they say love is blind, so close your eyes
Hey girl you say you like it deep, (Hail Mary) Hail Mary
Hey girl you know the play, (Hail Mary) Hail Mary
Tonight we going long, (Yeah) We be going long
Hey huddle up, (Huddle up) Hail Mary
I ain't tryna punt, (Tryna punt) Hail Mary
Tonight we going long
We be going long (Hail Mary)

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 think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

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.
