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"
Blue Monday, how I hate blue Monday
Got to work, like a slave all day
Here comes Tuesday, oh, hard Tuesday
I'm so tired, got no time to play
Here come Wednesday, I'm beat to my side
My girl call, got to tell her that I'm out
'Cause Thursday is a hard-workin' day
And Friday I'll get my pay
Saturday morning, oh, Saturday morning
All my tiredness has gone away
Got my money and my honey
And I'm out on the scene to play
Sunday morning, my head is bad
But it's worth it, for the times that I've had
But I've got to get my rest
'Cause Monday is a mess
Saturday morning, oh, Saturday morning
All my tiredness has gone away
Got my money and my honey
And I'm out on the scene to play
Sunday morning, my head is bad
But it's worth it, for the times that I've had
But I've got to get my rest
'Cause Monday is a mess
Got to work, like a slave all day
Here comes Tuesday, oh, hard Tuesday
I'm so tired, got no time to play
Here come Wednesday, I'm beat to my side
My girl call, got to tell her that I'm out
'Cause Thursday is a hard-workin' day
And Friday I'll get my pay
Saturday morning, oh, Saturday morning
All my tiredness has gone away
Got my money and my honey
And I'm out on the scene to play
Sunday morning, my head is bad
But it's worth it, for the times that I've had
But I've got to get my rest
'Cause Monday is a mess
Saturday morning, oh, Saturday morning
All my tiredness has gone away
Got my money and my honey
And I'm out on the scene to play
Sunday morning, my head is bad
But it's worth it, for the times that I've had
But I've got to get my rest
'Cause Monday is a mess

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.
