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"
Lately I've been feeling different
Like I've come from outer space.
Had I known there's something missing,
When it's you I can't replace
As I walk into the Sun!
As I stare across this ocean!
As I start a brand-new day!
My life never be the same, again.
Look ahead there in the distance
Shadows coming through the haze.
You're the only one that listens
To help me break loose from these chains.
As I walk into the sun!
As I stare across this ocean!
As I start a brand-new day!
My live never be the same, again.
(the same again)
Aa-aa-aa-aa(singing)
And as I walk into the sun!
And as I stare across this ocean!
And as I start a brand-new day!
My live ever be the same again!
(repeat)
Like I've come from outer space.
Had I known there's something missing,
When it's you I can't replace
As I walk into the Sun!
As I stare across this ocean!
As I start a brand-new day!
My life never be the same, again.
Look ahead there in the distance
Shadows coming through the haze.
You're the only one that listens
To help me break loose from these chains.
As I walk into the sun!
As I stare across this ocean!
As I start a brand-new day!
My live never be the same, again.
(the same again)
Aa-aa-aa-aa(singing)
And as I walk into the sun!
And as I stare across this ocean!
And as I start a brand-new day!
My live ever be the same again!
(repeat)

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.

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
These lyrics are incorrent in some places, and they don't even have some of the lines in them. Here's a rewrite:
Lately I've been feelin' different Like I've come from outer space And I notice somethin' missin' When it's you I can't replace
And I've been drownin' out the silence From the words that we once said And I know I could make a difference If I could get inside your head
And as I walk into the sun And as I stare across this ocean And as I start a brand new day Will my life ever be the same again
And up ahead they're in the distance The shadows comin' through the haze You're the only one that listens To help me break loose from these chains
And as I walk into the sun And as I stare across this ocean And as I start a brand new day Will my life ever be the same again
The same again
And as I walk into the sun And as I stare across this ocean And as I start a brand new day Will my life ever be the same again
And as I walk into the sun And as I stare across this ocean And as I start a brand new day Will my life ever be the same again
And as I walk into the sun And as I stare across this ocean And as I start a brand new day Will my life ever be the same again
I think this song is about feelings that come with some drugs... Ecstacy especially can allow for unhindered internal self-examination, and I think he's saying that he realizes that he's been "feeding his mind" when he should be feeding his heart - "I notice something missing...it's you I can't replace." This means to me that he's missing a woman and trying to fill the hole with drugs, maybe.
"I start a brand new day...I felt we'd be the same again..." - he's trying to move on from an addiction, but somewhere he knows he'll go back.
I think this is also about how his love will help him escape the chains of addiction. But he thinks he'll never be able to go back, even though it seemed like "we'd be the same, again."
Maybe this was a little incoherent but it's a start.
Reinvention and new things to come, I can't pin down what it means to me, but when I hear it, I feel refreshed and not alone. It can mean so much, to different people. For me, it's about God "Up ahead there in the distance shadows coming through the haze you're the only one that listens.. to help me break loose from these chains, "
and
"and i notice something missing when it's you i can't replace "
I tried to replace God with a girlfriend one time, needless to say things didn't go well.
On the other hand, I think of the new direction my life's about to take "And as i walk into the sun... and as i stare across this ocean... and as i start a brand new day... "
The King Unique Remix is incredible!
This is a great lil tune. As I stare across the ocean...realizing that we are small cogs on a great planet. Lets hope we stop the war
i love this song. its like, a thinking song. i like how they hold out all the last words of the chorus, sounds cool.
"but i felt we'd be the same, again. "
Thia sounds nothing like the song. To me, it sounds like "Will my life ever be the same, again?" I'm not sure about the lyrics posted here. The number of syllables isn't even right.
Thank you for posting the correct lyrics, magus. I was reading them and wondering about that. I really do love this song. I listen to it a lot at night and it gives me a bit more energy. Some days, I remember a good friend of mine and how we're going to be separated by life and college and the changes that will happen. Other times, I compare it to the Buddhist concept of change and attempting to live in the present moment. I also tried to look for what the band officially said about the song and couldn't find anything...does anyone know anything about that?
If you watch the music video, it might give some perspective on this song.<br /> <br /> I feel that the song isn't so limited, and so dulled down to just a simple drug experience or an affair with a woman. I see it on a much broader spectrum-the mechanics of society and humans themselves. How we act to one another, and the repercussions of those actions.<br /> <br /> The way I see it, its about the choices we make in life that lead us to exerperiance other peoples views and re-evaluate our own.
