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"
If you're tired of lying,
there's something you should try
You said Hallelujah baby,
Hallelujah child
Who is more deserving than me?
Why live with less when I can get all the things that I want to?
And I want to
Everything in the world
Everything in the world
Everything in the world
Everything in the world
If you're tired of watching,
the good life pass you by
You say you owe it, you stole it
And everybody knows it
They'll make you pay until they're dry
Who are better suited than we?
Dressed for success but get all the things that we want to
At any price that we want to
Everything in the world
Everything in the world
Everything in the world
Everything in the world
To know it
To find it
My head's just desperate
Reach for it
Come to it
Blow it up on a shelf
So tired of the whining
Your sad little lullaby
You've got the money, no honey,
A feeling in your tummy
Why don't you just lay down and die?
Who is better suited than me?
I feel like a wreck, but I've done all the things that I want to
At any price that I want to
At any price
Everything in the world
Everything in the world
Everything in the world
Everything in the world
there's something you should try
You said Hallelujah baby,
Hallelujah child
Who is more deserving than me?
Why live with less when I can get all the things that I want to?
And I want to
Everything in the world
Everything in the world
Everything in the world
Everything in the world
If you're tired of watching,
the good life pass you by
You say you owe it, you stole it
And everybody knows it
They'll make you pay until they're dry
Who are better suited than we?
Dressed for success but get all the things that we want to
At any price that we want to
Everything in the world
Everything in the world
Everything in the world
Everything in the world
To know it
To find it
My head's just desperate
Reach for it
Come to it
Blow it up on a shelf
So tired of the whining
Your sad little lullaby
You've got the money, no honey,
A feeling in your tummy
Why don't you just lay down and die?
Who is better suited than me?
I feel like a wreck, but I've done all the things that I want to
At any price that I want to
At any price
Everything in the world
Everything in the world
Everything in the world
Everything in the world

@[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.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
This song is amazing.
I don't really have any interesting insight, I was just mildly insulted that only one person commented.
