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"
Well look out sunshine, here they go
They got yesterday's heroes and last night's clothes
You're a game, oh boy, judging by the way you walk
But there's no use telling me to leave
I've seen a half of dozen goals but I don't believe
I'm a cynical 'con and I'm much to lazy to change
And I tell my friends I'll be around
Care in no where, sleeping somewhere
With a girl I dreamed, oh yeah
I'll sing my old song
How does it go?
Look out sunshine
It's the punch line
No one cares you anymore
Well look out sunshine, here they come
But they only play for money
Your band on the run
It's a sell out show
That no one wants to go to, yeah
But there's no so blindness but they don't agree
Steal the money from your papas
So most vicious leave
Oh boy, we are much to crazy to change
And I tell my friends I'll be around
Care in no where, sleeping somewhere
Where oh can our dream go... yeah
I'll sing my old song
How does it go?
Look out sunshine
It's the punch line
No one cares you anymore
But what do you mean?
You where born to love this scene
And they'll string you up gladly
You're just to lazy to be
Tell my friends... I'll be around...
I tell my friends I'll be around
Care in no where, sleeping somewhere
With a girl I dreamed, oh yeah
I'll sing my old song
How does it go?
Look out sunshine
It's the punch line
No one cares you anymore
No one needs you anymore...
No one cares you anymore...
They got yesterday's heroes and last night's clothes
You're a game, oh boy, judging by the way you walk
But there's no use telling me to leave
I've seen a half of dozen goals but I don't believe
I'm a cynical 'con and I'm much to lazy to change
And I tell my friends I'll be around
Care in no where, sleeping somewhere
With a girl I dreamed, oh yeah
I'll sing my old song
How does it go?
Look out sunshine
It's the punch line
No one cares you anymore
Well look out sunshine, here they come
But they only play for money
Your band on the run
It's a sell out show
That no one wants to go to, yeah
But there's no so blindness but they don't agree
Steal the money from your papas
So most vicious leave
Oh boy, we are much to crazy to change
And I tell my friends I'll be around
Care in no where, sleeping somewhere
Where oh can our dream go... yeah
I'll sing my old song
How does it go?
Look out sunshine
It's the punch line
No one cares you anymore
But what do you mean?
You where born to love this scene
And they'll string you up gladly
You're just to lazy to be
Tell my friends... I'll be around...
I tell my friends I'll be around
Care in no where, sleeping somewhere
With a girl I dreamed, oh yeah
I'll sing my old song
How does it go?
Look out sunshine
It's the punch line
No one cares you anymore
No one needs you anymore...
No one cares you anymore...

Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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.
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, I think it sounds very Beatles-esque.
I think this song is funny because it sounds very upbeat, but when you read the lyrics they seem somewhat hostile or condescending. I can't figure out if he's talking to a person or to himself, but I can imagine him talking to a [now] ex girlfriend "No one gets you anymore," or possibly a fellow band member (since he calls him/her "old boy") who he's pissed at for "telling me to leave." The 'Sunshine' part just comes across as really sarcastic.
If he's talking to himself, it sounds like he's angry at himself for working for the music biz- "steal money from your pockets"- or he's disappointed that he has a "sell-out show," and no one else understands his frustration...
Any other ideas?
One of the reasons i love the fratellis is because their lyrics are so clever.<br /> To me, it does sound like he's talking to an old girlfriend. <br /> But there are also some important themes to the song. <br /> "Yesterday's heroes in last night's clothes..." ( i thought it was IN last night's clothes but im not sure.) If so i think it means that everyone has their shining moment, and they'll find themselves still living in the past but no longer needed. hence, "no one gets you any...no one needs you any...no one gets you anymore" That's another example of how clever the fratellis are, if this is toward an ex girlfriend he just barely takes a stab at her by not quite finishing " no one needs you anymore."<br />
