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"
The crushing pressure weighing down upon my weary back,
The tedious routines of day to day poise to attack.
The poisonous pollution and the pointlessness of care,
And in a blink we blow away to dust upon the air.
Six feet down and underground.
Six feet down and underground.
Six feet down and underground.
Six feet down and underground.
A clotted cold perfection still in putrefaction lay,
We'll run and rot to crumble in a petrified decay.
And in as much, as I can see no future, why go on?
So this here I present to you, one final poem in song.
And I can see a darkness and a clearing of the path
In the overpopulation I can simplify the math.
Six feet down and underground.
Six feet down and underground.
Six feet down and underground.
Six feet down and underground.
A clotted cold perfection still in putrefaction lay,
We'll run and rot to crumble in a petrified decay.
The hazy warmth encompasses my eyes, a misty sea,
The soft embrace of sunset in a dark eternity.
Prayer and flowers mock and tease my terrorised beliefs,
The truth is that we're born to die until our sweet release.
I care so much and not at all about every living breath,
The sadness of this sentience; a sentence to my death.
In my grave and down the drain; erase the misspent past,
The tortured love in memories are never meant to last.
The tedious routines of day to day poise to attack.
The poisonous pollution and the pointlessness of care,
And in a blink we blow away to dust upon the air.
Six feet down and underground.
Six feet down and underground.
Six feet down and underground.
Six feet down and underground.
A clotted cold perfection still in putrefaction lay,
We'll run and rot to crumble in a petrified decay.
And in as much, as I can see no future, why go on?
So this here I present to you, one final poem in song.
And I can see a darkness and a clearing of the path
In the overpopulation I can simplify the math.
Six feet down and underground.
Six feet down and underground.
Six feet down and underground.
Six feet down and underground.
A clotted cold perfection still in putrefaction lay,
We'll run and rot to crumble in a petrified decay.
The hazy warmth encompasses my eyes, a misty sea,
The soft embrace of sunset in a dark eternity.
Prayer and flowers mock and tease my terrorised beliefs,
The truth is that we're born to die until our sweet release.
I care so much and not at all about every living breath,
The sadness of this sentience; a sentence to my death.
In my grave and down the drain; erase the misspent past,
The tortured love in memories are never meant to last.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
I asked my spanish what the title means, she said it was improper spanish meaning "Living without gods". Another LoC song about not only accepting death, but infact embracing it because it will relieve all the pain that life causes. After you die you just rot 6 feet down, there is no afterlife.
