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 finally found her but I haven't got a piece of her yet
And I wanna tell you by the way (I think I've ruined your body)
She said "I love you, but you're difficult"
Words I've heard so many times before but those words don't mean a thing
(never meant a thing before you)
I think I found her but I haven't found a way to her yet
I wanna tell you by the way (I think I've ruined your body)
I want to tell her that I love her, but I just don't know
Oh this is terrible
You sounded sober when you told me to come over
I could tell it in the sound of your voice
(I know I better be careful)
She said I never want to let you go
She told me so
Now let me tell you how these steps go.
Step 1, tell me what have I done
Step 2, you know you better better believe
Step 3, you'll never be like me so
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-no no
I think I found her but I haven't found a way to her yet
I wanna tell you by the way (I think I've ruined your body)
I want to tell her that I love her, but I just don't know
Oh this is terrible
And all the rows in the pastor's church
Full of empty sighs and wine
And all the children have lost
And parted ways with God
And the Sunday dress
And all the rows in the pastor's church
Full of empty sighs and wine
And all the children have lost their way
I think I found her but I'll never let her in
So I guess we'll never know.
I think I found her but I haven't found a way to her yet
I wanna tell you by the way (I think I've ruined your body)
I want to tell her that I love her but I just don't know
Oh this is terrible [x3]
And I want to tell her that I love her, but I just don't know.
Oh this is terrible.
And I wanna tell you by the way (I think I've ruined your body)
She said "I love you, but you're difficult"
Words I've heard so many times before but those words don't mean a thing
(never meant a thing before you)
I think I found her but I haven't found a way to her yet
I wanna tell you by the way (I think I've ruined your body)
I want to tell her that I love her, but I just don't know
Oh this is terrible
You sounded sober when you told me to come over
I could tell it in the sound of your voice
(I know I better be careful)
She said I never want to let you go
She told me so
Now let me tell you how these steps go.
Step 1, tell me what have I done
Step 2, you know you better better believe
Step 3, you'll never be like me so
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-no no
I think I found her but I haven't found a way to her yet
I wanna tell you by the way (I think I've ruined your body)
I want to tell her that I love her, but I just don't know
Oh this is terrible
And all the rows in the pastor's church
Full of empty sighs and wine
And all the children have lost
And parted ways with God
And the Sunday dress
And all the rows in the pastor's church
Full of empty sighs and wine
And all the children have lost their way
I think I found her but I'll never let her in
So I guess we'll never know.
I think I found her but I haven't found a way to her yet
I wanna tell you by the way (I think I've ruined your body)
I want to tell her that I love her but I just don't know
Oh this is terrible [x3]
And I want to tell her that I love her, but I just don't know.
Oh this is terrible.

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.

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
Really? No comments?
This song is amazing, and I think that it has to do with a guy being all wrong for a girl, and they both know it but they can't let each other go. ?
& I think it's "and like the rows in the pastors church, full of empty sighs and wine, all the children have lost their holy ways with God, on a sunday" iidkk, that's just me. (:
I'm pretty sure it's "better believe."
The first: "And in the rows in the Pasture's Church Full of empty sighs and wine, and all the children have lost their hardened ways With their sun blanked eyes"
The second: "And in the rows in the Pasture's Church Full of empty sighs and wine, and all the children have lost their ways"
This song is amazinggg! I can completely relate to it after my recent break up. I love it
As soon as I herd the first line in this song, I realized its the best song on this album.
Yeah, its definitely called Empty Sighs and Wine...
yes this song and isles and glaciers is very amazing i love them n its really cool becuz they all came from different bands like Jonny Craig came from Emarosa and Dance Gavin Dance and Vic and Mke Fuentes came from pierce the viel n then theres the wonderful Craig Owens who came from chiodos 4 amazing bands and 4 amazing artists i love them
I love how these guys all sound together! Vic's high, HIGH voice mixed with Jonny's insanely full sounding lower range, and of course the versatile Craig Owens. Together they make a pretty unique sound.. and everyone loves it! Personally its nice to hear Jonny doing something other than damn Emarosa, because i honestly think they blow since he's joined. They just lost their sound so much, now its all about his voice and a little background noise. However, back when he was in DanceGavinDance they all meshed pretty well. And thats what Isles & Glaciers is doing now, and it comes out sounding pretty damn awesome. Especially since its none of their respective members genre's exactly
Vic&Mike are pop-punk/post-hardcore, Craig is post-hardcore all the way, and jonny craig has moved around a bit between some stuff. what they finally landed on with I&G is a strange mix that works perfectly.
What I got from it was that he's in love with someone who's taking advantage of him so much that it's wearing him out emotionally but he doesn't seem to care because he;s so in love? But then again there are parts that threw me of so Idk either. Their songs always have hard meanings
I think he's afraid to love, that's all. He's in so deep already but he fears the aftermath hence the, "I think I found her but I'll never let her in."
