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"
find
words fade above the snow
the carved out psychic stitch
the carver's all who waves surrender
through all tempers looking back
the skin begins to crack
those ever double jointed blamers
i’m closed off no power the will inside no peace
no feeling all disease around security
eyes
divide the cycles find
a call who's never caught
belief heals over time decision
find
the vice grips never freed
a crease upon one's debt
and never paying forward
hate
we will be what we hate
what will be left today
when nothing's left to beg the moral
fate
what is it can't you say
who will be left to play
when ugly crippled eyes remain
i’m closed off devours the meat inside of me
in freeing all afraid of life eternity
eyes
burning of sorrow craving inside no teeth
holding on nothing is left to be believed
fear
what will we want with fear
the time bomb coming near
when nothing’s left to have or hope for
pain
what is there left to say
an ancient plan to pay
with blood and shit tomorrow
shame
we will be learning shame
until we play the game
that in the end will bring disorder
race
what will be left to say
when nothing is the same
and all this shit goes under
sticking out behind the mask
kiss the mercantile absess
rubbed behind each fertile blood
the fingernails are dirty
face the combination loss
then go towards the final cost
crippled debts a lost foothold
words so unconvincing
i’m closed off devours the meat inside of me in freeing all afraid of life eternity
words fade above the snow
the carved out psychic stitch
the carver's all who waves surrender
through all tempers looking back
the skin begins to crack
those ever double jointed blamers
i’m closed off no power the will inside no peace
no feeling all disease around security
eyes
divide the cycles find
a call who's never caught
belief heals over time decision
find
the vice grips never freed
a crease upon one's debt
and never paying forward
hate
we will be what we hate
what will be left today
when nothing's left to beg the moral
fate
what is it can't you say
who will be left to play
when ugly crippled eyes remain
i’m closed off devours the meat inside of me
in freeing all afraid of life eternity
eyes
burning of sorrow craving inside no teeth
holding on nothing is left to be believed
fear
what will we want with fear
the time bomb coming near
when nothing’s left to have or hope for
pain
what is there left to say
an ancient plan to pay
with blood and shit tomorrow
shame
we will be learning shame
until we play the game
that in the end will bring disorder
race
what will be left to say
when nothing is the same
and all this shit goes under
sticking out behind the mask
kiss the mercantile absess
rubbed behind each fertile blood
the fingernails are dirty

crippled debts a lost foothold
words so unconvincing
i’m closed off devours the meat inside of me in freeing all afraid of life eternity

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.
