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"
Intwined
your body's white lies
fleas on fabric
as you close the blinds
and say "Pull just a little bit more"
f-freeze and begin
I'm getting so much better with my hands on your skin
Can you feel it? (Yes I can feel it)
when I'm at Jenny's house
I look for bad ends (Forget your parents)
but it's just cat and mouse
well in this part of the city
where children don't sleep
can feel it in my bones and my feet
and in the legs of the women and girls that I meet
they're attracting me
Now this is me
a topless young you
I'm t-t-turning all my feelings into jelly and goo
oh, but yeah
because it makes me angry
when you are sitting next to me
I came as Cupid, I came as Holly
specifics never matter when I come into your body
'Cause there's a fire (fire) in my house
but it doesn't really matter 'cause I never out it out
there's a hole (hole) in your skinny jeans
but it makes you so happy that it's always seen
can you feel it? (yes I can feel it)
yeah can you feel it? (yes I can feel it)
can you feel it? (yes I can feel it)
yeah can you feel it? (yes I can feel it)
All we want from life
are big warm beds and a climax in our heads
your body's white lies
fleas on fabric
as you close the blinds
and say "Pull just a little bit more"
f-freeze and begin
I'm getting so much better with my hands on your skin
Can you feel it? (Yes I can feel it)
when I'm at Jenny's house
I look for bad ends (Forget your parents)
but it's just cat and mouse
well in this part of the city
where children don't sleep
can feel it in my bones and my feet
and in the legs of the women and girls that I meet
they're attracting me
Now this is me
a topless young you
I'm t-t-turning all my feelings into jelly and goo
oh, but yeah
because it makes me angry
when you are sitting next to me
I came as Cupid, I came as Holly
specifics never matter when I come into your body
'Cause there's a fire (fire) in my house
but it doesn't really matter 'cause I never out it out
there's a hole (hole) in your skinny jeans
but it makes you so happy that it's always seen
can you feel it? (yes I can feel it)
yeah can you feel it? (yes I can feel it)
can you feel it? (yes I can feel it)
yeah can you feel it? (yes I can feel it)
All we want from life
are big warm beds and a climax in our heads

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.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
NO COMMENTS? Obviously no one FEEEEEEELS it in their skinny jeans.
Love this song.
and if no one got that joke, its because you don't know that the real lyrics are<br /> <br /> "holey jeans"
this song is the emmer effin JAM!!! there are a few discrepancies between these lyrics and the ones on Reptar's webpage:
"a topless young you" on their website is " a tupper's young ewe", which who knows what the hell that means, but anyway...
"i look for bad ends" = " i look for balance"
the lyrics at the last part are "sweat sweat sweat human".
as far as the meaning goes, i think this is a pretty sexy song about sex! "I'm getting so much better with my hands on your skin", "entwined, your body's white lines", etc. I think the bit about "it makes me angry when you are sitting next to me" is about sexual frustration. I'm not sure about the Cupid/Holly part.... but the "come into your body" bit is pretty clear!
Anyway, this song was my #1 dance jam this past summer and hearing it straight up makes me smile. Love it!!
I'm adding a comment because this song and this artist deserve much love. Happiest song I have ever heard
This song is so much fun to listen to!
It has a very happy sound but there is definitely some substance in the undercurrent here. To me, the song is about having multiple sexual partners in life but not really connecting to any of them emotionally, since there are multiple "women and girls" that he meets, and he is "turning all [his] feelings into jelly and goo". The sex is good, so he's convincing himself that the lack of connection with these women doesn't matter..."it makes me angry when you are sitting next to me"...the women are good for nothing but sex.
"There's a fire in my house but it doesn't really matter cause I never put it out" says to me that he knows the meaningless sex is the wrong way to go about things, he knows he's making a mess of his romantic life, but it doesn't really matter because, like he says earlier on "now this is me". This is what sex has turned into for him and he doesn't know how to have it any other way. It's just a pleasurable experience devoid of emotional attachment.
