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"
Dreamlands of danger
Darkside pleasures
Bad behavior
Dreamlands of danger
Darkside pleasures
At their best
At their best
Punk rock, shell toes
Horns and halos
Wicked whit wings
And pointed tails
Devil's eyes and nine inch nails
Nocturnal renegades
The eternal drug raid
I go by the name of Mr. Shifty Switchblade
Getting paid in the shade
As lyrics ricochet,
Of the walls
From the ceiling to the floor
Off the door
And down the hall
I'm evil like Knievel
Kicking white trash
Psycho cerebral, palsy ballsy
Bad ass
Dress in black
From the wrong side of the tracks
Crazy Town
Yo. we strike like deep impact
[Chorus]
Why can't you see?
I cannot feel till you bring
Me down
Dream lands of danger
Darkside pleasures
Bad behavior
Dreamlands of danger
Darkside Pleasures
At their best
My subconscious launches me
Into evil territory
I'm surrounded by voyeurs
And crack smoking lawyers
No shame, Burnt lips
Tripping on acid rain
Legally insane deranged,
Some people, never change
[Chorus]
Nasty na na , ha, ha
Darkside marijuana
Fueled of the drama
Drifting on the darkside
I'm the black eye bomber
Do what I do on a darkside
Rendezvous
Raising hell, out the shell
Of fantasies I never tell
Dispersin' untamed perversion
My bad Brain's working
Circle jerking, rocking riddles,
Sex pistol, sexperts
Acting uncivil
[Chorus]
Darkside pleasures
Bad behavior
Dreamlands of danger
Darkside pleasures
At their best
At their best
Punk rock, shell toes
Horns and halos
Wicked whit wings
And pointed tails
Devil's eyes and nine inch nails
Nocturnal renegades
The eternal drug raid
I go by the name of Mr. Shifty Switchblade
Getting paid in the shade
As lyrics ricochet,
Of the walls
From the ceiling to the floor
Off the door
And down the hall
I'm evil like Knievel
Kicking white trash
Psycho cerebral, palsy ballsy
Bad ass
Dress in black
From the wrong side of the tracks
Crazy Town
Yo. we strike like deep impact
[Chorus]
Why can't you see?
I cannot feel till you bring

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.
Holiday
Bee Gees
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
