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 can stare at you all night and you won't even notice
Still I can't seem to look at you
I can stare at you all night and you won't even notice
Put on gloves
The watch going
the phone rings off
In the car lurking
See me through the window and
you lay down on your bed
I can stare at you all night and you won't even notice
Still I can't seem to look at you
I can stare at you all night and you won't even notice
(If I'm getting to you)
'Cause I'm loose slide
a knife through
Back door locked bolt through
Sleeping softly, holding pillows
tightly in your arms
I sneak up without a sound
down the hall to your bedroom
Twist the knob stand above you
as you lay there in your bed
I can stare at you all night and you won't even notice
Still I can't seem to look at you
I can stare at you all night and you won't even notice
I took off all your clothes
see all your face
until the pillow slightly saw you
or
into the pillow sllighty silent?
as you breathe gasping holding air tight like it's your last
put my hand on your mouth
feel your lips on my fingers
smell your sweat
you're looking lovely my possesion
Again. Shadows up
The watch going
phone rings off
Car lurking
See me through the window and
you lay down on your bed
I can stare at you all night and you won't even notice
Still I can't seem to look at you
I can stare at you all night and you won't even notice
Put on gloves
The watch going
the phone rings off
In the car lurking
See me through the window and
you lay down on your bed
I can stare at you all night and you won't even notice
Still I can't seem to look at you
I can stare at you all night and you won't even notice
(If I'm getting to you)
'Cause I'm loose slide
a knife through
Back door locked bolt through
Sleeping softly, holding pillows
tightly in your arms
I sneak up without a sound
down the hall to your bedroom
Twist the knob stand above you
as you lay there in your bed
I can stare at you all night and you won't even notice
Still I can't seem to look at you
I can stare at you all night and you won't even notice
I took off all your clothes
see all your face
until the pillow slightly saw you
or
into the pillow sllighty silent?
as you breathe gasping holding air tight like it's your last
put my hand on your mouth
feel your lips on my fingers
smell your sweat
you're looking lovely my possesion
Again. Shadows up
The watch going
phone rings off
Car lurking
See me through the window and
you lay down on your bed
I can stare at you all night and you won't even notice

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.
Gentle Hour

Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
Yeah it is a very sexy song... oddly enough. I love it. Thanks for the corrections. I'm still not 100% everything is right up there. I'm hoping to buy a CD by 'em soon. I've falling in love with them. [:
