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"
Not a lot of good can come from this
And there's not much that you've shown
While you ratted me out
I never minded too much
I'm just the person that needed you more
(Chorus)
Did you fall, did you break?
Did you make a mistake?
Did you lose how it felt to win?
Don't tell me that it's over now
If I said the right thing, if I said the wrong
If I showed you my biggest scar
Where I once had a heart
I'm sorry, but you're all that I know
You know that you don't compromise
The place you wanted to be
When you were down on your luck
When you were killing us
Did you ever stop to think of me?
(Chorus)
Did you fall, did you break?
Did you make a mistake?
Did you lose how it felt to win?
Don't tell me that it's over now
If I said the right thing, if I said the wrong
No matter how far I go
You will always be home
I'm sorry, but you're all that I know
I'm sorry, but you're all that I know
And if a shade falls on me
I need you to know that I won't scream
And if everything you need happened to leave you
I won't leave
(Chorus)
Don't tell me that it's over now
If I said the right thing, if I said the wrong
Would it matter if I might die
If you'd kiss me goodbye
I'm sorry but you're all that I know
(Chorus)
Don't tell me that it's over now
If I said the right thing, if I said the wrong
You said there's no way that this is love
It hasn't hurt you enough
I'm sorry but you're all that I know
I'm sorry but you're all that I know
All that I know
All that I know
All that I know
I'm sorry but you're all that I know
And there's not much that you've shown
While you ratted me out
I never minded too much
I'm just the person that needed you more
(Chorus)
Did you fall, did you break?
Did you make a mistake?
Did you lose how it felt to win?
Don't tell me that it's over now
If I said the right thing, if I said the wrong
If I showed you my biggest scar
Where I once had a heart
I'm sorry, but you're all that I know
You know that you don't compromise
The place you wanted to be
When you were down on your luck
When you were killing us
Did you ever stop to think of me?
(Chorus)
Did you fall, did you break?
Did you make a mistake?
Did you lose how it felt to win?
Don't tell me that it's over now
If I said the right thing, if I said the wrong
No matter how far I go
You will always be home
I'm sorry, but you're all that I know
I'm sorry, but you're all that I know
And if a shade falls on me
I need you to know that I won't scream
And if everything you need happened to leave you
I won't leave
(Chorus)
Don't tell me that it's over now
If I said the right thing, if I said the wrong
Would it matter if I might die
If you'd kiss me goodbye
I'm sorry but you're all that I know
(Chorus)
Don't tell me that it's over now
If I said the right thing, if I said the wrong
You said there's no way that this is love
It hasn't hurt you enough
I'm sorry but you're all that I know
I'm sorry but you're all that I know
All that I know
All that I know
All that I know
I'm sorry but you're all that I know

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.

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.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
I love this song! Not sure what hes talking about when he says "while you ratted me out" Im curious what he was ratted on. I believe this is one of the best songs of the line of songs that say "no matter how much i try to forget you, you will always be in me" And ofcourse the stupid ass girl that doesnt see what is best for her, she is running away of what she is for some reason afraid of. And the only way for the truth to be seen is to hurt over it.
