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 have to get away
Out of this place where I became
The type who sits and laughs at everyone who judges me
It's so damn dark in here,
I can't see in front of me
My flames have all burnt out
My hopes no part of my reality
There's no escaping fear,
I can't breathe, I'm struggling
My flames have all burnt out
My hopes no part of my reality
There's something pulling me in the wrong direction
My confessions aren't at rest they can't get by
Oh no, 'cause these are deadly weapons, deadly weapons
Why must this perception take my breath? I can't get by
Oh no, 'cause these are deadly weapons, deadly weapons
With no direction to go, will my feet carry me?
To where I need to go to find myself the perfect remedy
Can I bare all of the weight of my mistakes?
Give me strength,
Wherever will I go to find myself the perfect remedy
There's something pulling me in the wrong direction
My confessions aren't at rest they can't get by
Oh no, 'cause these are deadly weapons, deadly weapons
Why must this perception take my breath? I can't get by
Oh no, 'cause these are deadly weapons,
I can't get by
Now I can never take it back
Now I can never take it back
The truth might take us down
Lose ourselves in the sound
I won't want to hear your name
I won't want to see your face again
Words crumble to the ground,
You'll blow the candles out
I won't want to hear your name
I won't bare to see your face again
There's something telling me I better take me chances
My confessions aren't at rest they can't get by
Oh no, 'cause these are deadly weapons, deadly weapons
Why must this perception take my breath? I can't get by
Oh no, 'cause these are deadly weapons, (deadly weapons!)
My confessions aren't at rest they can't get by
Oh no, 'cause these are deadly weapons,
(I can't get by)
I know there's something more, I know there's something more
(I can't get by)
I know there's something more, I know there's something more
Now I can never take this back
Now I can never take it back
Out of this place where I became
The type who sits and laughs at everyone who judges me
It's so damn dark in here,
I can't see in front of me
My flames have all burnt out
My hopes no part of my reality
There's no escaping fear,
I can't breathe, I'm struggling
My flames have all burnt out
My hopes no part of my reality
There's something pulling me in the wrong direction
My confessions aren't at rest they can't get by
Oh no, 'cause these are deadly weapons, deadly weapons
Why must this perception take my breath? I can't get by
Oh no, 'cause these are deadly weapons, deadly weapons
With no direction to go, will my feet carry me?
To where I need to go to find myself the perfect remedy
Can I bare all of the weight of my mistakes?
Give me strength,
Wherever will I go to find myself the perfect remedy
There's something pulling me in the wrong direction
My confessions aren't at rest they can't get by
Oh no, 'cause these are deadly weapons, deadly weapons
Why must this perception take my breath? I can't get by
Oh no, 'cause these are deadly weapons,
I can't get by
Now I can never take it back
Now I can never take it back
The truth might take us down
Lose ourselves in the sound
I won't want to hear your name
I won't want to see your face again
Words crumble to the ground,
You'll blow the candles out
I won't want to hear your name
I won't bare to see your face again
There's something telling me I better take me chances
My confessions aren't at rest they can't get by
Oh no, 'cause these are deadly weapons, deadly weapons
Why must this perception take my breath? I can't get by
Oh no, 'cause these are deadly weapons, (deadly weapons!)
My confessions aren't at rest they can't get by
Oh no, 'cause these are deadly weapons,
(I can't get by)
I know there's something more, I know there's something more
(I can't get by)
I know there's something more, I know there's something more
Now I can never take this back
Now I can never take it back

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.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
Amazing

Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
I like Craig more singing with estk than i do with him singing in etf.
