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"
Yeah
There's something in your ways
That makes me wanna stay here for a
Thousand years
So just cry your fears, yeah
I need you everyday
Inside you I just want to wipe
Away your fears
So just cry your tears, yeah
And I wish
That I was
In you
If I stay
Well, then your tears will set you free
If I stay right here
And forever with you
Everything I feel for you
Is everything I wanna stay with you
If I stay right here
And forever with you
My eyes
My eyes
This is tearing me apart
I wish I could be in your soft arms
Feel you again
Anytime I feel like I'm too far
And I will try to remember all ours and
Your memories I know
But I wish
That I was
In you
If I stay
Well, then your tears will set you free
If I stay right here

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”

Midnight
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Midnight” is a song about finding a love that is so true that it provides a calming feeling through every storm. Ed Sheeran reflects on his good fortunes in landing someone with such peace and support and speaks of not fearing the dark days because he knows they’ll all end in the safety nets of her arms.
“Well, good morning there / What a way to start the day / With everything laid bare,” Ed Sheeran sings in the first verse, enthusiastic to be waking up beside his woman. He apologizes for missing her calls in the second verse and promises to return them because for him, speaking to her is the most important thing. “Well, I get lost inside my head / In this chaos, you’re my calm / And I will find my feet again / ‘Cause еven the worst days of my life will always еnd / At midnight in your arms,” sings Ed Sheeran in the chorus, revelling in his good luck.
I love this song!!! At the end of Revolution/Revolucion an album of metal, comes this gentle Spanish tinged song. It's obviously a love song but I don't know who it's about, but it's lovely anyway!
i'ved listen to this so many times that i think i become numb to it at this point one of most beautiful songs i ever heard so far in my life i think it's about seperation i don't think love has yet seperated from him and it's all in a memory bound song someone who had that connection to the other and such careing way and about the wanting of to save that person through love itself nothing else.. beautifull song
i simply love this song and its one of my favorites so far...
check out simplistic (simplisticmusic.com) and 30 seconds to mars (30secondstomars.pt.vu)!!
I took a girl I know into my room and turned off the lights and lit some insence and candles and played this song for her...
The ability to make rage such as "Liar" and peace such as this shows a talent that cannot be expressed with words.
ill nino owns j00r bums. lol. but seriously this band can go from angry stuff to this and it's just amazing. and. they rock. what -Sïlèncè- said.
this is a great finish to a great album.
this song is just BEAUTIFUL. it has gotta be about a love that lasts forever. wheneva i play this song, it makes me all sad n broody but made me think of an ending to my first novel.
This song is the greatest love song I've ever heard. I think it's about a girl who's not sure of there love but he wants to stay with her and stop her fears and be with her forever. It's absolutely great! Ill Nino is obviously one of the greatest bands alive if they can go from metal to slow acoustic sounds. Like jimmy pop said, it's a great finish to a great album!!
this is truly a great song. yet i dont think its 100% full happy love song. i think its about someone telling his girlfriend that he has to go and hes bassicly not coming back. either that or hes visting an old lover and he has to go away again and as soon as they come back together thousands of emotions come rushing back from when they were first together. im almost defanate on this.
i think its what u make it to be. me and my bf put this on and keep in on repeat becuase to us it has a bigger meaning im in ny he's in jersey and with work and school(when its in season) we hardly get to see eachother and it gets hard so the whole far away part for us is distance its just beutifull
