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"
Lately I've been thinking
About how we live our lives
There are too many conflicts
'Cause no one sees eye-to-eye
And now the world is changing
We got pollutants in the sky
Starving children
And murders in the name of Christ
This is our world
To make it last
We have to not repeat the past
Just step outside
When will we learn?
The destruction of our world
Our world
If all we have is one life
And your never coming back again
Would you look at what we done
As a beginning or an end?
When I feel the sunlight
I wonder how much my world can take
We must do something now
With so many lives at stake
This is our world
To make it last
We have to not repeat the past
Just step outside
When will we learn?
The destruction of our world
This is our world
We must give back
Instead of killing what we have
To look inside and spread the word
If you want to save our world
Our world
I've said enough
I've had enough
I'm sick and tired of just waiting
A world corrupted
So out of touch
Our world how do I save it
How do I save it
How do I save it
How do I save it
This is our world
To make it last
We have to not repeat the past
Just step outside
When will we learn the destruction of our world
This is our world
We must give back
Instead of killing what we have
To look inside and spread the word
If you want to save our world
About how we live our lives
There are too many conflicts
'Cause no one sees eye-to-eye
And now the world is changing
We got pollutants in the sky
Starving children
And murders in the name of Christ
This is our world
To make it last
We have to not repeat the past
Just step outside
When will we learn?
The destruction of our world
Our world
If all we have is one life
And your never coming back again
Would you look at what we done
As a beginning or an end?
When I feel the sunlight
I wonder how much my world can take
We must do something now
With so many lives at stake
This is our world
To make it last
We have to not repeat the past
Just step outside
When will we learn?
The destruction of our world
This is our world
We must give back
Instead of killing what we have
To look inside and spread the word
If you want to save our world
Our world
I've said enough
I've had enough
I'm sick and tired of just waiting
A world corrupted
So out of touch
Our world how do I save it
How do I save it
How do I save it
How do I save it
This is our world
To make it last
We have to not repeat the past
Just step outside
When will we learn the destruction of our world
This is our world
We must give back
Instead of killing what we have
To look inside and spread the word
If you want to save our world

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 is officially the end of the buckcherry we all love. I don't have any other words to waste on this song. I was excited about the new album but this song alone is just devastating to their style. I want the Buckcherry that brought the filfthy rock to our generation. I've seen them in concert four times and was probably going to see them in about two weeks but if they play this song they are getting booed.
