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"
Show your fucking face, bitch
Execute the mass and spread your disease, it's time to fight back and rise to your feet
You will not believe what you can do when you push and strike back
The power of peace concealed in a word, give it up, give it all you got,
Stitch faced as they fall into there graves when all the angels fall from the sky
And all the demons arise from the earth, there will be a force to reckon with
And you will be destroyed, kill them all, fuck them all, leave no one alive, rape them all
To want their death, who's to live, and who's to die
Sure enough
Give it up, give it all you got
Stitch faced as they fall into their graves
Now I see it clear, and origin set in fear, we didn't ask for you
We sure as fuck don't need you
Now I see it clear, and origin set in fear, we didn't ask for you
We sure as fuck don't need you
Now I see it clear, and origin set in fear, we didn't ask for you
We sure as fuck don't need you
Your getting fucked up
We stood the test of time, we ran our fucking lives, we shut you out
Stood our ground yet were still alive, stand united, break the silence
We are taking it from here, were coming up, were breaking out, you've looked down on me,
I'm coming down on you, were coming up, were breaking out, you've looked down on me,
I'm coming down on you
Were coming up, were breaking out, you've looked down on me,
I'm coming down on you
Execute the mass and spread your disease, it's time to fight back and rise to your feet
You will not believe what you can do when you push and strike back
The power of peace concealed in a word, give it up, give it all you got,
Stitch faced as they fall into there graves when all the angels fall from the sky
And all the demons arise from the earth, there will be a force to reckon with
And you will be destroyed, kill them all, fuck them all, leave no one alive, rape them all
To want their death, who's to live, and who's to die
Sure enough
Give it up, give it all you got
Stitch faced as they fall into their graves
Now I see it clear, and origin set in fear, we didn't ask for you
We sure as fuck don't need you
Now I see it clear, and origin set in fear, we didn't ask for you
We sure as fuck don't need you
Now I see it clear, and origin set in fear, we didn't ask for you
We sure as fuck don't need you
Your getting fucked up
We stood the test of time, we ran our fucking lives, we shut you out
Stood our ground yet were still alive, stand united, break the silence
We are taking it from here, were coming up, were breaking out, you've looked down on me,
I'm coming down on you, were coming up, were breaking out, you've looked down on me,
I'm coming down on you
Were coming up, were breaking out, you've looked down on me,
I'm coming down on you

@[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.
I Can't Go To Sleep

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
Magical

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
To me seems like theyr calling out god and is about apocolypse
its basically about the teenagers of today.the ones who don't take a stand for themselves and the ones who are afraid of being themselves.
I think it has something to do with the end of the world too.
"When all the angels fall from the sky And all the demons arise from the earthThere will be a force to reckon with"
I think it's referring to the people that are afraid of the end of the world, and live their life in fear of death. instead of living it to the fullest.
hence the whole "an origin set in fear"
and it basically says that in the end only those who lived their lives and stood strong in the world will be left.
and everyone else will be destroyed.
i dont think it has anything to do with teens, and i can see the end of the world being a metphor for what they're trying to say. personally i see a politcal meaning behind it. Basically saying being a democracy the people have the voice we're just not using it whether it be because we're either afraid or we are shut up before we can say anything.
"The power of peace concealed in a word Give it up give it all you got Stitched face as they fall into there graves"
pretty much describes the power of speech
"Now I see it clear An origin set in fear We didn't ask for you We sure as fuck don't need you"
bush was statistically supposed to lose his first election
"Your getting fucked up We stood the test of time We ran our fucking lives We shut you out Stood our ground Yet were still alive Stand united break the silence We are taking it from here Were comin up were breakin out You look down on me, were coming down on you "
Bush's two terms are nearing and end and change is most likely coming.
thats just what i first thought of when i read these lyrics, i could be completely wrong haha.
harper83087, I definitely agree. I think too many people focus on the literal instead of delving deeper into meanings. Everyone should listen to songs full of symbolism. Alas, we have fallen to illiteracy.
yeah I see the whole political meaning and how it could relate to the song.
but at the same time I can see the whole religious and apocalyptic message that it could relate to.
considering that winds of plague have a lot of roots in black metal, It would make sense to me that it could have that meaning.
I am Leeperz1904^^ btw haha.
but either way, this song is way sick, sad to say the new album was really disappointing though.
the more i listen to it the more it just sounds like the weak and cowards dont deserve life hear it not some dumb anarchist movement
My favorite Winds of Plague song. I love what they do musically. Medolic Deathcore in standard tuning? Lol thats a smack in the face to every cliche' hardcore band that tuned to drop A just to sound "br00tal". Definitely something new. I'm not too big on their lyrics though. Their just not that interesting to me.
I'm pretty positive it says "Show your fucking face, BITCH!" JS
i think it also talks about the wasted things we do instead of makin our of change and settling for other to do it for us.....like when he says your getting fucked up we stood the test of time....seems like hes saying he stood strong while you drowned out
