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"
Christ 0 (x3)
Here I stand alone, I'm a sacrifice
Like a fallen angel, die here without your love
Now I understand, let the sentenced dog I'm in
swallow all the hate I can eat
Gave you my heart, gave you my heart
I just gave you my heart
and they take it away, take it away
Now I gather somebody else's lives
‘Till the day we'll meet again
You are the reason why, my day of living
I gave my soul away to the unforgiven
Suicide would save me from my thoughts
I'll try now to freeze on there walls here
My uncertain eternity in broken words
Said from the other part of me
Give me your heart, give me your soul
Can you give me your life?
Then I take it away, break it in two
And dancing in enemy else's blood
Pouring down on me like rain
They are the reason for my day of living
I gave my soul away to the unforgiven
Ghost ship - December 11
2:00 am - My name X
You are my death part I
The new edition is called “my life part II”
You are the reason why, my day of living
I know, I know we'll meet again on the fifth of seasons
(I'm alive – Christ 0)
(See me light – Christ 0 – I'm alive)
I know, I know we'll meet again my love
Here I stand alone, I'm a sacrifice
Like a fallen angel, die here without your love
Now I understand, let the sentenced dog I'm in
swallow all the hate I can eat
Gave you my heart, gave you my heart
I just gave you my heart
and they take it away, take it away
Now I gather somebody else's lives
‘Till the day we'll meet again
You are the reason why, my day of living
I gave my soul away to the unforgiven
Suicide would save me from my thoughts
I'll try now to freeze on there walls here
My uncertain eternity in broken words
Said from the other part of me
Give me your heart, give me your soul
Can you give me your life?
Then I take it away, break it in two
And dancing in enemy else's blood
Pouring down on me like rain
They are the reason for my day of living
I gave my soul away to the unforgiven
Ghost ship - December 11
2:00 am - My name X
You are my death part I
The new edition is called “my life part II”
You are the reason why, my day of living
I know, I know we'll meet again on the fifth of seasons
(I'm alive – Christ 0)
(See me light – Christ 0 – I'm alive)
I know, I know we'll meet again my love

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,

Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.

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.
For those who don't already know, the album 'Christ-0' is based around the Count of Monte Christo. So if the lyrics don't make sense on the first read, that's probably why.
This title track introduces 'Christ-0' during his imprisonment. Here he remembers his lover, and promises to himself that he'll meet her again, once he escapes. His thoughts turn to his 'friends,' the men who betrayed him to this living hell, and he vows to take back the life they stole from him.
The muttered "Ghost ship... December 11, 2a.m. ... my name is X..." introduces the detective from Interpol who ends up hunting him down after he's committed these murders. The line makes more sense in the coming songs.
It seems to me that this song is also about the development of the Christ 0 persona/personality. "Swallow all the hate I can eat" "Now I gather somebody else's lives" Christ 0 is being created from his anger and the characters in the horror movies he's watching (Refer to 'Silently')
"In broken words said from the other part of me.
Give me your heart give me your soul Can you give me your life..." Christ 0 emerges.
There also seems to be exchanges between the original character and Christ 0. "They are the reason for my day of living" -Christ 0 "I gave my soul away to the unforgiven" -Original
thnx dude!
New to this band, but what I've heard is great. Know this isn't the right place for this, but heard a song called "More than alone" at my friends place and his computer said it was Vanden Plas, but can't find this song on any of their releases... It's a great ballad, can someone help me out? thanks!
