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"
I ride like a soldier
Put nothin' before ya
Anything you ask
I'll be right there to do it
But if I react, you tell me to relax
Too late to take it back
'Cause boy, you put me through it
This circular motion is all we do
I'm so sick of going back and forth with you
You should have been happy to have me
You said you wanted to have some kids, build a family
(Now I) wish it wasn't true
It's killing me to do what I gotta do
The problem here is you
Ain't nobody new, not even my crew
Could take the place of you
The problem here is you
'Cause if you only knew what I felt for you
You would have held on tighter, fought a little harder
Been a little smarter and now you're gonna miss my love
And one day soon you'll see
You'll reach out for me
Boy, you had a keeper
Didn't know how to treat her
Should have felt a little deeper and now you're gonna miss my love
Kick it with ya friends (go)
Go out with other chicks (go)
Be all up in the mix (go)
You got the right to do that
You wanna be a pimp
Be treated like a prince
Go 'head and flip the switch
'Cause now you got ya crown back
This circular motion is all we do
I'm so sick of going back and forth with you
You should have been happy to have me
You said you wanted to have some kids, build a family
(Now I) I wish it wasn't true
It's killing me to do what I gotta do
The problem here is you
Ain't nobody new, not even my crew
Could take the place of you
The problem here is you
'Cause if you only knew what I felt for you
You would have held on tighter, fought a little harder
Been a little smarter and now you're gonna miss my love
And one day soon you'll see
You'll reach out for me
Boy, you had a keeper
Didn't know how to treat her
Should have felt a little deeper and now you're gonna miss my love
My hugs and my kisses
You know you're gonna miss it
And while you're tripping on the love we could have had
I'm moving on, I got to
And ain't no looking back
'Cause if you only knew what I felt for you
You would have held on tighter, fought a little harder
Been a little smarter and now you're gonna miss my love
And one day soon you'll see
You'll reach out for me
Boy, you had a keeper
Didn't know how to treat her
Should have felt a little deeper and now you're gonna miss my love
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh ooh oh oh huh huh
Oh ooh oh oh huh huh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh ooh oh oh huh huh
Oh ooh oh oh huh huh
See boy, you had a keeper
But you didn't know how to treat her
Put nothin' before ya
Anything you ask
I'll be right there to do it
But if I react, you tell me to relax
Too late to take it back
'Cause boy, you put me through it
This circular motion is all we do
I'm so sick of going back and forth with you
You should have been happy to have me
You said you wanted to have some kids, build a family
(Now I) wish it wasn't true
It's killing me to do what I gotta do
The problem here is you
Ain't nobody new, not even my crew

You would have held on tighter, fought a little harder
Been a little smarter and now you're gonna miss my love
And one day soon you'll see
You'll reach out for me

Didn't know how to treat her
Should have felt a little deeper and now you're gonna miss my love

Oh ooh oh oh huh huh
See boy, you had a keeper
But you didn't know how to treat her

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.
This song is similar to so hard, the instruments and the background oh's. He is taking her for granted, he wants her there to support him but doesn't want her there to interfere with everything there. "Anything you ask I'll be right there to do it But if I react you tell me to relax"
the guy is taking her for granted, he has this amazing girl who loves him deeply but he is too consumed with himself and all the hurt she is feeling is caused by him not realising how much she loved him
OMG my ex wz like that....i wudv given him ne thing, hed hav taken it n giv nothin bk...in the song, shes being taken 4 granted n now shes left him n shes telin him that hes gonna regret takin her 4 granted n he's gonna miss havin her cz noone will luv him lyk she had
i'm in love with this.
