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"
Whatever helps you through' the night
My paws keep going to turn on the satellite
Always look to the positive
I don't feel the pain when I'm watching the title fight
How could I ever want to disown you?
I want to love and to have and to hold you
All the good in the world and you keep it under your thumb
Amphetamines will keep you thin
My heart beats fast and I'm climbing the walls again
I've been talking for miles on end
Or is it because everybody is a friend
How could I ever want to disown you?
I want to love and to have and to hold you
All the good in the world and you keep it under your thumb
I have my freedom and while I'm living
I know the world can't touch me
I could wait forever, love in vain yeah
I will have you when your birthday comes
I am the sundance kid coming to you in the grooves with a positive
Is it because our talent's shining, bound by the empire, follow the eskimo
How could I ever want to disown you?
I want to love and to have and to hold you
All the good in the world and you keep it under your thumb
I have my freedom while I'm living
I know the world can't touch me
I could wait forever, love in vain yeah
I'll have you when your birthday comes
I have my freedom and while I'm living
I know the world can't touch me
I could wait forever, love in vain yeah
I will have you when your birthday comes
My paws keep going to turn on the satellite
Always look to the positive
I don't feel the pain when I'm watching the title fight
How could I ever want to disown you?
I want to love and to have and to hold you
All the good in the world and you keep it under your thumb
Amphetamines will keep you thin
My heart beats fast and I'm climbing the walls again
I've been talking for miles on end
Or is it because everybody is a friend
How could I ever want to disown you?
I want to love and to have and to hold you
All the good in the world and you keep it under your thumb
I have my freedom and while I'm living
I know the world can't touch me
I could wait forever, love in vain yeah
I will have you when your birthday comes
I am the sundance kid coming to you in the grooves with a positive
Is it because our talent's shining, bound by the empire, follow the eskimo
How could I ever want to disown you?
I want to love and to have and to hold you
All the good in the world and you keep it under your thumb
I have my freedom while I'm living
I know the world can't touch me
I could wait forever, love in vain yeah
I'll have you when your birthday comes
I have my freedom and while I'm living
I know the world can't touch me
I could wait forever, love in vain yeah
I will have you when your birthday comes

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.

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.
