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"
And in the morning, when I rise,
One question, it feels like the sun in my eyes,
Am I making the most of this life?
So much trouble and so much strife,
And in my guilty hour,
Through all of my shame,
When all my love is run sour,
I have no one else to blame,
Cause it finds me through the mask I wear,
And I see it through it my eyes closed,
But still I can not bare to stare into my worries and my woes,
Theres comfort in self loathing and its easy to slip into it
But still I must learn to lead my life with no regrets,
All the time it all moves in the same direction,
So don't let it pass you by,
Because It moves so fast , theres no time for perfection,
So make the most of this life
Make the most of this life, uh
Make the most of this life
Make the most of this life
And when I fall I fall hard
And I dwell to often in my falls
I must accept it and move on
Theres just no shame in having to crawl
Because it finds me through the mask I wear,
And I see it through it my eyes closed,
But still I can not bare to stare into my worries and my woes,
Theres comfort in self loathing and its easy to slip into it
But still I must learn to lead my life with no regrets,
All the time, it all moves in the same direction,
So don't let it pass you by,
Because It moves so fast , theres no time for perfection,
So make the most of this life oh,
Make the most of this life ,oh
Make the most of this life
Just Make the most of this life
And if you come to me smiling,
Oh I, will see you shining out from within,
Such a beautiful grin aw
Falling down on me and frageling my skin
Wake I am pour I a cup of,
Wake I am pour I a cup
Wake I am pour I a cup of life
One question, it feels like the sun in my eyes,
Am I making the most of this life?
So much trouble and so much strife,
And in my guilty hour,
Through all of my shame,
When all my love is run sour,
I have no one else to blame,
Cause it finds me through the mask I wear,
And I see it through it my eyes closed,
But still I can not bare to stare into my worries and my woes,
Theres comfort in self loathing and its easy to slip into it
But still I must learn to lead my life with no regrets,
All the time it all moves in the same direction,
So don't let it pass you by,
Because It moves so fast , theres no time for perfection,
So make the most of this life
Make the most of this life, uh
Make the most of this life
Make the most of this life
And when I fall I fall hard
And I dwell to often in my falls
I must accept it and move on
Theres just no shame in having to crawl
Because it finds me through the mask I wear,

But still I can not bare to stare into my worries and my woes,
Theres comfort in self loathing and its easy to slip into it
But still I must learn to lead my life with no regrets,

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.
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.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
the lyrics are kind of wrong. it's not "there's confidence self loathing." It's "there's comfort in self loathing" for example..
so basically this song explains itself. Live your life to its fullest potential and don't pause and think too long on your mistakes and regrets becasue life is too short for that. Brett Dennen is awesome
Currently my favourite song. I think zach pretty much captured the meaning. Forget about all your problems and everything you regret because it's holding you back. Even if your at your lowest point-don't feel pity for yourself-accept it and make it through! Live life to the max
Thanks for the correction clickofalight.
I always liked the line "there is comfort in self loathing" but I never knew what it meant. How is there comfort in self loathing?
Here's how:
If you lose confidence in yourself it becomes much easier to not take chances. By not taking chances you can never have the feeling of disappointment that is inevitable when you fail at something. This may be a relationship, trying out for something, or anything really. That is how there is comfort in self loathing.
So don't let it pass you by, Because It moves so fast, there's no time for perfection, So make the most of this life
