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"
Throw down some money
The ice cream man is comin'
Watch these rap niggas get all up in your guts
French vanilla, butter pecan, chocolate deluxe
Even caramel sundaes is gettin' touched (the ice cream man is comin')
And scooped in my ice cream truck, Wu tears it up
Yo, honey dip, summertime fine, Jheri drippin'
See you on Pitkins with a bunch of chickens, how you're cliquin'
I kept shootin' strong notes as we got close
She rocked rope, honey throat smellin' like Impulse
Your whole shell baby's wicked like Nimrod
Caught me like a fresh-water scrod, or may I not be God?
Attitude is very rude, boo, crabby like seafood
It turns me on like Vine's Cee Allah Rule
They call me Starky Love, hon', check the strategy
By any means, Shirley Temple curls was done by Billie Jeans
Black Misses America, your name is Erica, right, true
Lazy eyeball, small feet, six shoe
Caramel complexion, breath smellin' like cinnamon
Excuse me, hon', the Don mean no harm, turn around again
Goddamn, backyard's bangin' like a Benzi
If I was jiggy, you'd be spotted like Spuds McKenzie
I'm high powered, put Adina Howard to sleep
Yo, pardon, that bitch been on my mind all week, but, uh
Back to you Maybelline Queen, let's make a team
You can have anythin' in this world except cream
So what you wanna do? What you wanna do?
Let's go ahead and walk these dogs and represent Wu
Watch these rap niggas get all up in your guts
French vanilla, butter pecan, chocolate deluxe (throw down some money)
Even caramel sundaes is gettin' touched (the ice cream man is comin')
And scooped in my ice cream truck, Wu tears it up
Shaolin's finest, what up, boo? Peace, Your Highness
Yo, I'm loungin', big dick style, y'all niggas is the flyest
Moves you're makin', too fly, jewels are shakin'
Not a rape patient, you're lookin' good fly-colored Asian
Ghettos, them is your hometown, we can go the whole round
After that, I'm shootin' downtown
I'm rockin' hats and your wig is all intact
Who's that queen bee chick, eyes pearly black?
Freaks be movin' in fly sneaks
Two finger rings and gold teeth and ain't afraid to hold heat
So when I step in the square, dear
You better have cream to share
Ricans, ven aqui, yeah
Watch these rap niggas get all up in your guts
French vanilla, butter pecan, chocolate deluxe
Even caramel sundaes is gettin' touched (the ice cream man is comin')
Scooped in my ice cream truck, who tears it up
Black chocolate girl wonder, shake ground like thunder
Politic to your deficit step, gimme your number
Your sexy persuasive ta-ta's and thighs
Catch my eyes like highs, I want your bodily surprise
Double dime some time, ice cream you got me fallin' out
Like a cripple, I love you like I love my dick size
Ooh, baby, I miss you
Your sweet tender touches
Take pulls off the Dutches
Orgasm in my mind-state, mastuerbate in your clutches
I want you for self
Like wealth, so play me closely
Bitches paranoia for the sting, who want the most of me?
Only a hard dozen wanna be callin' me cousin
Thirsty for my catalog, baby, shoppin' spree you're lovin'
Call me if you wanna get dug like the pockets
I jizz 'em like a giant, break wombs outta the sockets
(The ice cream man is comin')
Wu-tang in the cut, for real niggas, what?
It's the after party and bitches wanna fuck
Watch these rap niggas get all up in your guts
French vanilla, butter pecan, chocolate deluxe
Even caramel sundaes is gettin' touched
Scooped in the ice cream truck, Wu tears it up
Ice cold bitches melt down when in my clutch
And what they titties sucked, ice cream
Yeah, your guts
French vanilla, butter pecan, chocolate deluxe
Even caramel sundaes is gettin' touched
Scooped in the ice cream truck, who tears it up
Ice cold bitches melt down when in the clutch
They want they titties sucked, ice cream
One love to my chocolate deluxes, keep your nails done
And your wigs tight, word up
One love to my butter pecan Ricans for callin' me papi
That's for real
One love to caramel sundaes with the cherries on top
Yeah
And big up to my French vanillas
Parlez-vous, français? Mi amor, merci, oui oui, bon bons
And all that good stuff
That good stuff
The ice cream man is comin'
Watch these rap niggas get all up in your guts
French vanilla, butter pecan, chocolate deluxe
Even caramel sundaes is gettin' touched (the ice cream man is comin')

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
Hayalperest
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.
Holiday
Bee Gees
Bee Gees
@[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.
I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
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.
Impulse? Nimrod? Thunder? Can anyone clue me i as to what these guys are making references to?
Many Wu-Tang references are either to the 5% Nation teachings of Islam, pop culture at that time, or to (obviously) Martial Arts flicks. Any seemingly random numbers are probly from the Supreme Mathematics and any seemingly random letters are probly from the Supreme Alphabet. Any unknown names are most likely an alias of that Wu-member. If you need more help, use wubible.com it is really good. Oh and I know that Nimrod was a Norse God. That's it. Word is Bond. Wu-Tang slang. Choppin headz
robin although your broad observations about the importance of 5% rhetoric are accurate and pop culture are accurate, your specific answers are pretty poor. <br /> <br /> nimrod & thunder - comic book characters, the former is a big metal human hunter villain (thus wicked) and the second a black women hero (thus brown thunder) <br /> <br /> impulse - brand of body spray ie perfume
