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"
Listen to the song here in my heart
A melody I start, but can't complete
Listen to the sound from deep within
It's only beginning to find release
Oh, the time has come for my dreams to be heard
They will not be pushed aside and turned
Into your own, all 'cause you won't listen
Listen, I am alone at a crossroads
I'm not at home in my own home
And I've tried and tried
To say what's on my mind
You should have known, oh
Now I'm done believing you
You don't know what I'm feeling
I'm more than what
You've made of me
I followed the voice, you gave to me
But now I've gotta find my own
You should have listened
There is someone here inside
Someone I thought had died
So long ago
Oh, I'm screaming out
And my dreams will be heard
They will not be pushed aside or worse
Into your own
All 'cause you won't listen
Listen, I am alone at a crossroads
I'm not at home in my own home
And I've tried and tried
To say what's on my mind
You should have known, oh
Now I'm done believing you
You don't know what I'm feeling
I'm more than what
You've made of me
I followed the voice, you gave to me
But now I've gotta find my own
I don't know where I belong
But I'll be moving on
If you don't, if you won't
Listen to the song here in my heart
A melody I start, but I will complete, oh
Now I'm done believing you
You don't know what I'm feeling
I'm more than what you've made of me
I followed the voice you think you gave to me
But now I've gotta find my own, my own
A melody I start, but can't complete
Listen to the sound from deep within
It's only beginning to find release
Oh, the time has come for my dreams to be heard
They will not be pushed aside and turned
Into your own, all 'cause you won't listen
Listen, I am alone at a crossroads
I'm not at home in my own home
And I've tried and tried
To say what's on my mind
You should have known, oh
Now I'm done believing you
You don't know what I'm feeling
I'm more than what
You've made of me
I followed the voice, you gave to me
But now I've gotta find my own
You should have listened
There is someone here inside
Someone I thought had died
So long ago
Oh, I'm screaming out
And my dreams will be heard
They will not be pushed aside or worse
Into your own
All 'cause you won't listen
Listen, I am alone at a crossroads
I'm not at home in my own home
And I've tried and tried
To say what's on my mind
You should have known, oh
Now I'm done believing you
You don't know what I'm feeling
I'm more than what
You've made of me
I followed the voice, you gave to me
But now I've gotta find my own
I don't know where I belong
But I'll be moving on
If you don't, if you won't
Listen to the song here in my heart
A melody I start, but I will complete, oh
Now I'm done believing you
You don't know what I'm feeling
I'm more than what you've made of me
I followed the voice you think you gave to me
But now I've gotta find my own, my own

i have loved this song till last night when i listened to the lyrics carefully..its satanic
Listen to the song here in my heart a melody I start but can't complete(satan never completed his mission in heaven..he had the loveliest voice and the chaplain,but God knowing his deceited plans didnt let him complete his missions)
Listen to the sound from deep within Its only beginning to find release(stan started a rebellion in heaven..and wanted his own soldiers..the fallen angels)
Ohh the time has come for my dreams to be heard They will not be pushed aside and turned Into your own, all 'cause you won't listen(the time had come for him to fulfill his own conceited plans and did not want God to direct him..he wanted to do his own evil deeds and wasn't willing to relent)
[Chorus] Listen I am alone at a crossroads I'm not at home in my own home(heaven no longer belonged to him..he was cast out) And I've tried and tried To say what’s on my mind(he tried to convince and overthrow God,instead he couldn't..so he rebelled) You should have known Now I'm done believing you(he has no part in Gods holy trinity) You don't know what I'm feeling(he wants to revenge on earth by torturing Gods people) I'm more than what You've made of me(he feels he is more powerful than God which is a lie,he feels God underestimated him) I followed the voice, you gave to me(god had given him the most powerful and wonderful voice in heaven...then he misused it) But now I've gotta find my own(he wants to recruit his followers like beyonce to hell.he has given her the voice that he once had!have u ever wondered why most Illuminati guys are mostly musicians?Satan was the chorister in heaven.it was his gift to sing!!hence he gives it to those that help him recruit..music speaks to the soul..and satan knows this..the bible says my people perish because of lack of knowledge..ignorance to what you listen to is your downfall) You should have listened((he threatens God.how foolish!)
There was someone here inside Someone I thought had died(he was thrown out and now his evil ressurected on earth) So long ago Oh I'm screaming out And my dreams will be heard(his evil is evident in the world) They will not be pushed aside or turned Into your own(he wants nothing to do with Gods word) All 'cause you won't listen
[Chorus] Listen I am alone at a crossroads I'm not at home in my own home And I've tried and tried To say what’s on my mind You should have known Now I'm done believing you You don't know what I'm feeling I'm more than what You've made of me I followed the voice, you gave to me But now I've gotta find my own You should have listened
I don't know where I belong (satan does not belong anywhere,,,he was thrown out of heaven) But I'll be moving on(he hovers around the earth inflicting suffering and evil trying to regain his place) If you don't, if you won't
Listen to the song here in my heart A melody I start, but I will complete(he thinks he will inflict evil on all)
Now I am done believing you You don't know not what I am feeling I'm more than what you've made of me I followed the voice you think you gave to me(and this voice he gives to beyonce and the like)
But now I got to find my own my own Read more at songmeanings.net/songs/view/3530822107858630442/
ok, dude this is from the soundtrack of the movie Dreamgirls, an amazing movie that I had the pleasure of watching and it perfectly captures the position and feelings of the character at that time, she feels like she can't trust her husband and doesn't know what's true anymore. She feels repressed, like she is being pressured into being less than she can amount to if she is freed. If you read into anything you can find a satanic meaning. Relax. I personally don't believe in Satan as in my religion we believe there is no such thing as hell and Satan. Seriously, this song is for the Soundtrack of DreamGirls, go watch the movie and you will change your mind. The illuminati is not real!
