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"
Oh, take these stones away
Start a brand new story.
I'll make it through each day
Singing death or glory.
Lord won't answer me
I won't let it bring me down.
I know these clouds are gray
That I am living under.
I know I'll be okay
With the rain or thunder.
I hear it calling me
I won't march into the sound.
Ooh, whoa.
I just get this feeling
You're holding me down.
And these answers I'm needing
I guess they're being smothered by the sound.
Of all this emotion
And all of this hate.
Still I keep searching for something to put my faith in,
To find my place so I keep singing.
Oh, take these stones away
Start a brand new story.
I'll make it through each day
Singing eath or glory.
Lord won't answer me
I won't let it bring me down.
Ooh, whoa.
Hold on,
Hold on,
We'll move along.
Where we belong
Where we belong.
My heart, my soul.
I don't need a vision
I'd like to embrace.
And not only false promises, hopes and wishes.
To find my place
So I keep singing.
Oh, take these stones away
Start a brand new story.
I'll make it through each day
Singing death or glory.
Lord won't answer me
I won't let it bring me down.
Ooh, whoa.
Where we belong
Where we belong
My heart, my soul.
We stand alone.
Hold on,
Hold on,
Where we belong.
My heart, my song.
We stand alone.
Hold on,
Hold on,
Where we belong.
My heart, my song.
We stand alone.
Hold on,
Hold on,
Where we belong.
My heart, my soul
Yeah!
Oh, take these stones away
Start a brand new story.
I'll make it through each day
Singing death or glory.
Lord won't answer me
I won't let it bring me down.
Start a brand new story.
I'll make it through each day
Singing death or glory.
Lord won't answer me
I won't let it bring me down.
I know these clouds are gray
That I am living under.
I know I'll be okay
With the rain or thunder.
I hear it calling me
I won't march into the sound.
Ooh, whoa.
I just get this feeling
You're holding me down.
And these answers I'm needing
I guess they're being smothered by the sound.
Of all this emotion
And all of this hate.
Still I keep searching for something to put my faith in,
To find my place so I keep singing.
Oh, take these stones away
Start a brand new story.
I'll make it through each day
Singing eath or glory.
Lord won't answer me
I won't let it bring me down.
Ooh, whoa.
Hold on,
Hold on,
We'll move along.
Where we belong
Where we belong.
My heart, my soul.
I don't need a vision
I'd like to embrace.
And not only false promises, hopes and wishes.
To find my place
So I keep singing.
Oh, take these stones away
Start a brand new story.
I'll make it through each day
Singing death or glory.
Lord won't answer me
I won't let it bring me down.
Ooh, whoa.
Where we belong
Where we belong
My heart, my soul.
We stand alone.
Hold on,
Hold on,
Where we belong.
My heart, my song.
We stand alone.
Hold on,
Hold on,
Where we belong.
My heart, my song.
We stand alone.
Hold on,
Hold on,
Where we belong.
My heart, my soul
Yeah!
Oh, take these stones away
Start a brand new story.
I'll make it through each day
Singing death or glory.
Lord won't answer me
I won't let it bring me down.
