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"
Welcome to the world you see
An AK with a couple magazines
Too slut it is, don't matter to me
Scatter the ashes on the seven seas
That sickness, that feeling inside you
That's weakness, don't let it divide you
Keep this, that feeling of pride too
Digging up bones which buried the truth
Children, hypocrisy,
That's what I give, you can take it from me
If you don't, wont live to see
One last act of tragedy
A mothers heart can make me humble
No life lost can make me stumble
Our empire will never crumble
We did it for the glory
The glory
Only the glory
We live inside a story
It's a story
All for the glory
Bullets, begin to strip
A man of reason
He's a man of sin
The men of treason are the ones who live
They'll take whatcha got, whatcha got to give
Then pyre, a trial by fire
They're liars like we don't pyres
The letter to a mother from across the sea
The son in a box buried beneath
For whom the bell tolls, it tolls for the
For whom they saw when they put you to sleep
A deal with the devil is a deal with me
That deal is forever, as long as you breathe
Go forth child, make us proud
Honor is yours, underground
Know we love you, lay you down
We did it for the glory
The glory
Only the glory
We live inside a story
It's a story
All for the glory
Nobody runs
Nobody runs
Nobody runs or makes it out alive
Nobody runs
Nobody runs
Nobody runs or makes it out alive
Hearts beating faster running to the front line
Nobody runs or makes it out alive
Look up to Heaven as it rains from the sky
Nobody runs or makes it out alive
Out alive
Because we did it for the glory
The glory
Only the glory
We live inside a story
It's a story
All for the glory
The glory
The glory
The glory
We did it for the glory
The glory
For the glory
An AK with a couple magazines

Holiday

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

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.
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
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.
this song is self explanitory
some lyrical corrections:
instead of "Some slut it is;" its "Whose slut it is;"
also "No ones right loss can make me stumble" is "No lives lost can me stumble
"For whom the bell tolls, it tolls for the" is "...it tolls for thee"
so far thats all ive found
@J_3_T its actually, "who's blood? Doesn't matter to me."
and i even put wrong lyrics.
but im am certain now that the lyrics are: instead of "Whose slut it is;" it is Whose blood it is;"
ok so im not sure how to submit the correct lyrics so ill post them here. here is the correct lyrics for the first verse:
"Welcome to the world you see An AK with a couple magazines Whose blood it is; don't matter to me. Scatter the ashes on the seven seas. That sickness, that feeling inside you. That's weakness, don't let it divide you Keep this, that feeling of pride too. Digging up bones which buried the truth
Children, hypocracy, that's what I give, you can take it from me If you don't, wont live to see. One last act of tragedy No mothers heart can make me humble. No lives lost can make me stumble Our empire will never crumble"
i am fairly certain these are the correct lyrics.
It's about the current war. All the young adults going to war for the "glory" of fighting for their nation. But they've been blinded by all the lies of: "Go out to war and see the world" and "Fight for your nation". Lines that could support my interpretation:
"Go forth child; make us proud Honor is yours; underground Know we love you, lay you down"
"Welcome to the world you see An AK with a couple magazines"
"The letter to a mother from across the sea The son in a box buried beneath"
"Some Slut It Is, Don't Matter To Me"
"No Life Lost Can Make It Stumble"
I think it is about the way are country sends out these men and women fight for us but they make it sound like it is a great thing like go see the world have a good time when its not like that they are over there dieing for are freedom.
