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"
Me myself and I
For just a moment
We were alive
But we were living lies
We'd been misfortuned
By out minds
If all we ever know
Is being nothing
Deep down inside
We'll just walk away
And I'm alone again
And I'm doing fine
Doin' fine, doin' fine
I didn't want to be this way
I'm never gonna feel the same
As the day I ran away
From all this mess I left behind
We just need a little change
It's never gonna feel the same
As the day I ran away
From all this mess I left behind
Me, myself and you
We never knew it
But things were right
Then we lost hold of truth
Look what happened
To our lives
If we can learn to cry
For better reasons
Than denial
We can walk away
For something better
Yours and mine
Yours and mine, yours and mine
I didn't want to be this way
I'm never gonna feel the same
As the day I ran away
From all this mess I left behind
We just need a little change
It's never gonna feel the same
As the day I ran away
From all this mess I left behind
The only way we learn
Is burning in the flames
The only way to stop the hurt
Is to leave behind the pain
I'm in pain
I didn't wanna be this way
I'm never gonna feel the same
The day I ran away
On the day I ran away
We just need a little change
It's never gonna be the same
It's never gonna be the same
Never gonna be the same
For just a moment
We were alive
But we were living lies
We'd been misfortuned
By out minds
If all we ever know
Is being nothing
Deep down inside
We'll just walk away
And I'm alone again
And I'm doing fine
Doin' fine, doin' fine
I didn't want to be this way
I'm never gonna feel the same
As the day I ran away
From all this mess I left behind
We just need a little change
It's never gonna feel the same
As the day I ran away
From all this mess I left behind
Me, myself and you
We never knew it
But things were right
Then we lost hold of truth
Look what happened
To our lives
If we can learn to cry
For better reasons
Than denial
We can walk away
For something better
Yours and mine
Yours and mine, yours and mine
I didn't want to be this way
I'm never gonna feel the same
As the day I ran away
From all this mess I left behind
We just need a little change
It's never gonna feel the same
As the day I ran away
From all this mess I left behind
The only way we learn
Is burning in the flames
The only way to stop the hurt
Is to leave behind the pain
I'm in pain
I didn't wanna be this way
I'm never gonna feel the same
The day I ran away
On the day I ran away
We just need a little change
It's never gonna be the same
It's never gonna be the same
Never gonna be the same

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

@[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.
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.
Page

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
so compelling that's how I describe this song, come on people I wanna hear your thoughts on these awesome songs, let's get some comments here.
One of the things I love about their songs is how rarely (if even at all) they use curse words. The wording is always really poetic and just doesn't need it, ya know?
This makes me think of my relationship with my ex-bf, everything between us just sort of fell apart with the end of high school. I wished we could have ended things on better terms and stayed friends, but he wouldn't have it... Then again, I would definately say that I was the one that "ran away" in a manner of speaking, so I guess I don't blame him. But I think that above all, we learned a lot from eachother, and also learned what not to do in relationships. All hardships come with valuable lessons, I suppose.
