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"
Can't you see I feel your pain?
I've got Jesus running through my veins
In this hopeless life that's turned on you
Give yourself to me, I'll help you through
I feed off your unanswered fear
When visions of life's end appear
Hand over your will and then you'll see
Now get on your knees and worship me
Worship me
On your knees
Worship me
In this world when at it's best
Of never ending hate and death
Abandon all and trust in me
Escaping from reality
My world it has no space or time
The crippled walk and the sick feel fine
Hand over your will and then you'll see
Now get on your knees and worship me
Worship me
On your knees
Worship me
Beyond this wall of life unknown
I'll lead you where you need to go
Void of worry, stress and pain
Left with nothing but your name
We've washed your brain and cleansed your soul
Till' nothing's all you need to know
Hand over your will and then you'll see
Now get on your knees and worship me
Worship me
On your knees
Worship me
I've got Jesus running through my veins
In this hopeless life that's turned on you
Give yourself to me, I'll help you through
I feed off your unanswered fear
When visions of life's end appear
Hand over your will and then you'll see
Now get on your knees and worship me
Worship me
On your knees
Worship me
In this world when at it's best
Of never ending hate and death
Abandon all and trust in me
Escaping from reality
My world it has no space or time
The crippled walk and the sick feel fine
Hand over your will and then you'll see
Now get on your knees and worship me
Worship me
On your knees
Worship me
Beyond this wall of life unknown
I'll lead you where you need to go
Void of worry, stress and pain
Left with nothing but your name
We've washed your brain and cleansed your soul
Till' nothing's all you need to know
Hand over your will and then you'll see
Now get on your knees and worship me
Worship me
On your knees
Worship me

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.

Just A Little Lovin'

I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

This song is one of the best metal songs ever made. I don't get it why people don't give any comments about bls. they're one of the best metal bands around. this song is so fuckin great and Zakk is a fuckin genius in playing solos. the whole song talks about all those relligious crap that these leaders force people to believe in 'em. I think. then he says fuck 'em all worship me
Uhm, no. First off, studio wise, BLS isn't really a 'band.' Zakk plays all the instruments, subtract a few cameos, except drums. Which, as of late, has been handled by Craig Nunemacher. Counterfiet god is a song about people using religions as a means of lying and control. Example, preachers touring the country wanting your money. You go to their services, they say for a certain fee, they'll heal you. "The crippled walk and sick feel fine"
It's about 'men of god' lying and cheating for means of money, among other things. Falls hand-in-hand with Miracle Man, which Zakk co-wrote with Ozzy. Zakk's not trying to play god with this song. He's actually downplaying people who play god.
theres nothing anti-religious about this song, it simply condemns humans who make themselves to be like gods
i'll agree with Sandman-X on this one..but my step bro read that it was about sum dude who claimed he could do all of this bullshit and that he was sum sort of saint or sum bullshit like that...and Zakk Wylde got pissed at him and pretty much bombed the fuck out of him (or them) w/this song...but its pretty much the same shit that Sandman said...people i'm PRETTY DAMN SURE get the wrong impression of this song when they first hear it....i sure did...but i personally thought it was about the devil and his false and empty promises....hey...if you think about it...it could work that way too....
One Of My Favorite Black Label Society Songs One Of the Best Songs Ever Written
