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"
I see love, I can see passion
I feel danger, I feel obsession
Don't play games with the ones who love you
Cause I hear a voice who says
I love you, I'll kill you
Loneliness, I feel loneliness in my room
Look into the mirror of your soul
Love and hate are one in all
Sacrifice turns to revenge and believe me
You'll see the face who'll say,
I love you, I'll kill you,
But I'll love you forever
Loneliness, I feel loneliness in my room
I feel danger, I feel obsession
Don't play games with the ones who love you
Cause I hear a voice who says
I love you, I'll kill you
Loneliness, I feel loneliness in my room
Look into the mirror of your soul
Love and hate are one in all
Sacrifice turns to revenge and believe me
You'll see the face who'll say,
I love you, I'll kill you,
But I'll love you forever
Loneliness, I feel loneliness in my room

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
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.
Pretty song. Basically she's been betrayed by her beloved, maybe he cheated on her, maybe its just a crush on her part and she's getting annoyed that he's not noticing her, maybe this is like one of those foeyay songs where she's hated him so long she's grown attached to him, whatever the case she can't stop longing for his company and that apparently pisses her off. my take on the lyrics. Pretty instruments at the beginning/end. weird as shit song.
Although the title appears pretty stupid, this is a great song, believe me.
I don't think it's about psycho stalkers at all. It is about how love can turn into hate when someone is hurt.
When someone you love betrays you, you hate him (or her), but you can't stop loving him at the same time. You love him, but you also want revenge ("...Sacrifice turns to revenge..."). This is what I believe this song is about. Anyone who has felt this way will agree.
Try listening to "When love and hate collide" by Def Leppard. Totally different style of music, but same idea:).
@Vovin this song is actually about borderline personality disorder and yes somehow a psycho stalker just watch the movie fetal attraction you will find the meaning of this song in that movie.
This song to me is about the saying: "You end up hurting the ones you love the most."
this song is about psycho stalkers...and how "love" makes the mind lose control
I agree with Vovin.
This song is really captivating..one of my favorites from Enigma =).

I had a very 'interesting' experience with this song. It happened when I was home on furlough and I was driving down to the Alleghanies (Souther Tier. Western New York. 219-S, y'dig?)
Anyways, I spent some wonderful times with my girl and for some reason, as I was driving along down that dark, foggy road into the mountains, with a lake by the side of the road... this song came on in my CD player.
I ended up liking it so much, that I put it on constant "repeat" and two hours later when my girl woke up, I was still listening to that song!
LOL. Anyways, everytime I hear this song now, my mind flashes back to that road trip.
I also recall scenes from Tom Clancy's "Without Remorse" when I hear this song. Parts of that book deal with incredible sadness and pain - and also vengence and justince.
Apt reading material for this song :)
all I have to say is the CD doesn't have "I Kill you" following "I Love you" ... the record label should of thought about that one. very misleading :)) (I just realized this obviously)
As a heads up just note that your love will be tested. See love also comes with pain, and suffering. whether it is religious, loving your self, social like friends, or your partner. Ether way the strength of your love is tested. So if you really love someone, or something then be expected to come across bumps in the road, and no matter what love them as you do your self. Why would love come with pain and suffering? Because it wouldn't if you didn't care or love. Plus it helps shape and strengthen your relationship with each other by getting passed your differences. /_/\ /O,O\ \ ^ / /\ /\
very good song and style of music
