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"
She is my drama queen
She is so wild and reckless
She is my drama queen
She dangles from her necklace
Daddy's little bundle of joy
Out of a magazine
Everyone’s drama queen
Is old enough to bleed now
She is my drama queen
Her life is now unfolding
There goes my drama queen
What do you think she's holding?
Aye little drama queen
How did you find your savior?
Oh little drama queen
You better call a lawyer
Daddy's little bundle of joy
Out of a magazine
Everyone’s drama queen
Is old enough to bleed now
Aye little drama queen
From here to San Francisco
Everyone’s drama queen
I think she’s going psycho
Daddy's little bundle of joy
Out of a magazine
Everyone’s drama queen
Is old enough to bleed now
She's old enough to bleed now
She's old enough to bleed now
She is so wild and reckless
She is my drama queen
She dangles from her necklace
Daddy's little bundle of joy
Out of a magazine
Everyone’s drama queen
Is old enough to bleed now
She is my drama queen
Her life is now unfolding
There goes my drama queen
What do you think she's holding?
Aye little drama queen
How did you find your savior?
Oh little drama queen
You better call a lawyer
Daddy's little bundle of joy
Out of a magazine
Everyone’s drama queen
Is old enough to bleed now
Aye little drama queen
From here to San Francisco
Everyone’s drama queen
I think she’s going psycho
Daddy's little bundle of joy
Out of a magazine
Everyone’s drama queen
Is old enough to bleed now
She's old enough to bleed now
She's old enough to bleed now

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.
Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
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 think it's about a girl (daughter of the narator) that is growing up, becoming a teenager. The song sort of sounds like a lullaby because while the father accepts she's growing up, he wants her to know that whatever happens, she'll still be his little girl.
She's a drama queen both for the classic baby tantrums as much as the classic "I hate my parents!" teenage tantrums. He's letting her grow up and experience things that everyone must learn at some point; for example, "You better call a lawyer" and "She is so wild and reckless" since a usual symptom of becoming a teenager is acting rebellious and sometimes getting in trouble with the law. Throughout the song you can see she experiences darker turns in life that turn her from a drama queen into a young woman "I think she's going phsyco", "From here to San Fransico" and "Her life is now unfolding" because she is experiencing the memories that will shape her into who she is.
A line that's repeated a few times is "She's old to bleed now" which I first I only thought of as "she's old enough to get her heart broken and get hurt now" but if you let it sink in a bit, you realize it may also be speaking about her period, which starts during puberty. I like to think it means both she is a teenager and gets her period and she's old enough to get emotionally hurt now.
Thanks for reading my looong interpretation!
@ValEstOro Great interpretation!
