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"
Falling under
You feel no pain
Seeing black
You know the hate
Losing grace
But no one cries
Venomous trap
This pain of mine
Deprived devotion
You feel no pain
Spine in fits
You know the hate
Taking shape
But no one cries
No escape
This pain of mine
Feel emotion
Is this your potion?
Destroying everyone's motion - and you
See your own fears
See your own truth
Discover everyone lies [x2]
Sound relief
You feel no pain
Years of peace
You know the hate
Hate of you
But no one cries
You make me spew
This pain of mine
Falling under
Never hate another but you
Seeing black
You've aimed to drop me before now
Losing grace
You've tried before but failed
venomous trap
I can't cry
[CHORUS (x2)]
[CHORUS (x2)]
Destruction begins again
Our lives are changed a little more
I'd like to see you but I'd like to pretend
That I loved you it had to end
You destroyed your life a little more
So the pain you just turned to bore
I'm sick of you in me
Get the fuck right out of my life
Don't want you fucking with my head
I'll take you out
Don't want to fuck with my head
I'll take you out
Don't want you fucking with my head
I'll take you out
Don't want you fucking with my head
I'll take you out
So I held my head in shame
Bitter cries defy your game
Don't try to play your fuckin' shit
In time I'll disagree
So I held my head in shame
Bitter cries defy your game
Don't try to play your fuckin' shit
In time I'll disagree
[REPEAT CHORUS]
You know I'll fuckin' deny
[REPEAT CHORUS]
Destruction begins again
So I held my head in shame
Our lives are changed a little more
Bitter cries defy your gane
I'd like to see you but I hate to pretend
Don't try to play, you fuck shit
That I loved you, it had to end
So I held my head in shame!
Broken fingers are justice
Taking baby for rides
You left me so lonely
That's why I'm standing here
Ripping my insides out
You see me running and you feel hatred
This is the feeling I get every day
You throw the petrol and the matchstick
You stupid fuck you forgot to light it
I see you hiding in the shadow
With all the fear and twisted pain
I hear you running 'cause your footsteps cry
You only ever talk because it's too late
Slight invasion of death you brought me
You'll never take me away
I used to love you but it's just no fun
I feel it done inside me
Take me away
Far away
Take me away
Far away
[REPEAT VERSE 2]
[REPEAT CHORUS]
And now you hate because you're just a swine
I see you run because you're just a swine
And now I'm hiding because you're just a swine
And now I'm running because you're just a swine [x2]
[REPEAT CHORUS]
Take me away
Far away...
Death only through the eyes of your mind
Watching no one
Slowly turning around
Disrespectful
This is no one clear
Distant hearing
Death only because I'm wrong
Fucking whore
[REPEAT CHORUS]
Kill the insane [x2]
You always let me fall astray
So love will fear all
How many lies will you tell today
Distant vision
Your lonely eyes were so thoughtful then
Lethal hearing
'Cause your side was dominant
Your fear for fear
[REPEAT VERSE 1]
[REPEAT CHORUS]
You feel no pain
Seeing black
You know the hate
Losing grace
But no one cries
Venomous trap
This pain of mine
Deprived devotion
You feel no pain
Spine in fits
You know the hate
Taking shape
But no one cries
No escape
This pain of mine
Feel emotion
Is this your potion?
Destroying everyone's motion - and you
See your own fears
See your own truth
Discover everyone lies [x2]
Sound relief
You feel no pain
Years of peace
You know the hate

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 Can't Go To Sleep

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
