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"
Don't stop get on the floor
Let me see you dance till you can't no more
To my sexy ladies let me see you rock the bells
Sweatin' like a motherfu 'cause it's hot as hell
Don't stop get on the floor
Let me see you dance till you can't no more
To my sexy ladies let me see you rock the bells
To my thugs don't stop
Till you make it swell
Saturday night ain't got no money
Only got enough to get in to the party
If you look good and you're feelin' alright
All that matters is fun tonight
Hey, ladies (hey, ladies)
Shake that thing
Make a married man want to take off his ring
Don't hold back, baby, just let it go (just let it go)
'Cause you're right back at work on Monday morning so
Don't stop get on the floor
Let me see you dance (let me see you dance)
Till you can't no more (oh, yeah)
To my sexy ladies let me see you rock the bells
Sweatin' like a motherfu 'cause it's hot as hell
Don't stop get on the floor (don't stop get on the floor)
Let me see you dance till you can't no more
(Let me see you, shh, mmm)
To my sexy ladies let me see you rock the bells (baby)
To my thugs don't stop
Till you make it swell
Why ya sittin' down
If you came here to party
Let the beat get ya drunk like Bacardi
If you up in V.I.P. that's cool
But if you ain't dancing you's a fool
Party people (party people)
Make some noise
Throw your hands in the air and shout for joy
Don't hold back, baby, just let it go (just let it go)
'Cause the party won't stop til the break of dawn, come on
Don't stop get on the floor (mmm)
Let me see you dance till you can't no more
To my sexy ladies
Let me see you dance till you can't no more
To my sexy ladies let me see you rock the bells
Sweatin' like a motherfu 'cause it's hot as hell
Don't stop get on the floor
Let me see you dance till you can't no more
To my sexy ladies let me see you rock the bells
To my thugs don't stop
Till you make it swell
Saturday night ain't got no money
Only got enough to get in to the party
If you look good and you're feelin' alright
All that matters is fun tonight
Hey, ladies (hey, ladies)
Shake that thing
Make a married man want to take off his ring
Don't hold back, baby, just let it go (just let it go)
'Cause you're right back at work on Monday morning so
Don't stop get on the floor
Let me see you dance (let me see you dance)
Till you can't no more (oh, yeah)
To my sexy ladies let me see you rock the bells
Sweatin' like a motherfu 'cause it's hot as hell
Don't stop get on the floor (don't stop get on the floor)
Let me see you dance till you can't no more
(Let me see you, shh, mmm)
To my sexy ladies let me see you rock the bells (baby)
To my thugs don't stop
Till you make it swell
Why ya sittin' down
If you came here to party
Let the beat get ya drunk like Bacardi
If you up in V.I.P. that's cool

'Cause the party won't stop til the break of dawn, come on
Don't stop get on the floor (mmm)
Let me see you dance till you can't no more
To my sexy ladies

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.
