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"
Oh yeah
Alright
Somebody's Heine'
Is crowdin' my icebox
Somebody's cold one
Is givin' me chills
Guess i'll just close my eyes
Oh yeah
Alright
Feels good
Inside
Flip on the tele
Wrestle with Jimmy
Something is bubbling
Behind my back
The bottle is ready to blow
Say it ain't so
Your drug is a heartbreaker
Say it ain't so
My love is a life taker
I can't confront you
I never could do
That which might hurt you
So try and be cool
When I say
This way is a waterslide away from me
That takes you further every day
So be cool
Say it ain't so
Your drug is a heartbreaker
Say it ain't so
My love is a life taker
Dear Daddy,
I write you in spite of years of silence
You've cleaned up, found Jesus,
Things are good or so I hear
This bottle of Steven's awakens ancient feelings
Like father, stepfather, the son is drowning in the flood
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Say it ain't so
Your drug is a heartbreaker
Say it ain't so
My love is a life taker
Alright
Somebody's Heine'
Is crowdin' my icebox
Somebody's cold one
Is givin' me chills
Guess i'll just close my eyes
Oh yeah
Alright
Feels good
Inside
Flip on the tele
Wrestle with Jimmy
Something is bubbling
Behind my back
The bottle is ready to blow
Say it ain't so
Your drug is a heartbreaker
Say it ain't so
My love is a life taker
I can't confront you
I never could do
That which might hurt you
So try and be cool
When I say
This way is a waterslide away from me
That takes you further every day
So be cool
Say it ain't so
Your drug is a heartbreaker
Say it ain't so
My love is a life taker
Dear Daddy,
I write you in spite of years of silence
You've cleaned up, found Jesus,
Things are good or so I hear
This bottle of Steven's awakens ancient feelings

Say it ain't so
My love is a life taker

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.
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.
Head > Heels

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
This song is from two different albums, (and with two different singers, Chris Carabba, and their new one, Jason Gleason). The album Chris is on is their "The Moon is Down" Vinyl version. The version Jason is on is from the "Rock Music: A Tribute to Weezer" CD put out by Dead Droid Records.
weezer and fsf are both great bands. i love this song.
this cover is better than the original weezer version in my opinion, don't get me wrong I do love weezer... but the piano added in the beginning and end of this cover just puts chills up and down my spine, its awesome!
you know what's fucked? the fact that people submitted this when it's weezer's song? why submit lyrics to covers you dumbass? anyway, dashboard is gay and chris should realise this and get the fuck in dashboard. also, the new singer is gay, he told me so
is he ^ 14?
i love weezer, and further seems forever, so what a great combination
Okay, somebody explain to me what in the heck is going on. I have two versions of this song under "further seems forever", and one is chris, and the other one is the new singer, but not the same lyrics AT ALL! so what's that all about?
I can't even find the new version with jason on vocs.
to "myhearbleeds" shut the fuck up with your 'emo' username and stop talkin about chris and dashboard. dashboard owns you, im sorry you cant realize this and im so sorry you have to resort to calling them gay coz you think its the 'cool' thing to do. and some people might not kno its a weezer cover dumb ass and might have only downloaded "further seems forever - say it aint so" so when they go to look for the lyrics they look for them by fsf. so now that i have shown your homorific ass why your so stupid, you and your emo username can shut the fuck up and go cry some more
I really like the version with Chris' singing. His voice is extremely expressive and they did a great rendition of this song true to their own style while complimenting Weezer as well. =W= Rock Music Forever!
