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"

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
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/

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
i had to add this song because it was the first thing i learned how to play on guitar.
there are lyrics for this but i cant work em out, on youtube.com
no there aren't, it's just music. i'm happy someone finally posted this.
great way to start off thee bullets album. it adds that little mysterious edge to it... like, the way i see it... the song is kinda representing that the music can be like... real idk if "hardcore" is the word im looking for...but n e ways... yeah and be sorta slow and mellow at the same time... (ex. demolition lovers). but the slowish songs still keep that emotion that gerard expresses throughout all the songs on the album... anger..depression....but with still being a little more calm in the slower songs....his anger just escalates threw the song without completely going all out if ya kno what i mean..i kno my meaning is a little twisted cuz i really dont kno..how to like,...try to say what i think it means...and type it... so yeah........try to understand what i meant..lol
ya i get what you mean, xxbulletsxx...thats a good way of putting it.
thank you xoxa15 nice to kno that sumone understands me. lol.
xoxal15, couldn't have said it better myself. in my opinion the first 5 songs on the cd were the best. 1-romance 2-honey, this mirror... 3-vampires 4-drowning lessons 5-our lady of sorrows
Love this one. I know it's just instrumental but it's so different and the guitar is just... mad. Without sounding corny, it tells a story through the notes, without words, like a poem or something. Well, thats what i think anyway, ignore me if i'm talking nonsence!
On youtube.com there is actually a video of Gerard singing to this, so yeah, there are actually lyrics. Just not on a CD or anything.
i don't hear any lyrics, you people are crazy, all i hear is na na na na na na na etc etc, it's the 1st track on bulletsn love.
