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"
I can always find the time to lay out in the sand
Watching as the waves roll by it makes me understand
What it is to make a life that means a little more
Seems so easy to forget what we're all looking for
I don't know where I'm going just yet
Skipping work and I don't need to excuse it
Long as that floating feeling I get in the moment
Makes it really worth it (worth it)
Hey, forget about your Monday morning
We are never gonna be that boring
Hey, forget about your Monday morning
So, so ordinary same old story
Ey, oh, ey, oh, ey, oh, ey, oh, ey, oh, ey, oh
(No we don't wanna go, no no we don't wanna go)
I had a party, it went long, I told 'em all to stay
Neighbors calling to complain and rain on our parade
They told me to use my head and keep my focus straight
Shame on all of you for being stiff and so straight laced
Let them keep talking, I don't regret
They can't help it, caught up in their mindset
Long as that floating feeling I get in the moment
Makes it really worth it
Hey, forget about your Monday morning
We are never gonna be that boring
Hey, forget about your Monday morning
So, so ordinary same old story
Ey, oh, ey, oh, ey, oh, ey, oh, ey, oh, ey, oh
(No we don't wanna go, no no we don't wanna go)
Ey, oh, ey, oh, ey, oh, ey, oh, ey, oh, ey, oh
(No we don't wanna go, no no we don't wanna go)
Nani, naki, nana, nani, naki, nana
Nani, naki, nana, nani, naki, nana
Nani, naki, nana, nani, naki, nana
Sweet shot cherry pop
Everybody go to the beat, don't stop
Keep up body rock cardiac arrest
It's a culture shock
Hey, forget about your Monday morning
We are never gonna be that boring
Hey, forget about your Monday morning
So, so ordinary same old story
Ey, oh, ey, oh, ey, oh, ey, oh, ey, oh, ey, oh
(No we don't wanna go, no no we don't wanna go)
Ey, oh, ey, oh, ey, oh, ey, oh, ey, oh, ey, oh
(No we don't wanna go, no no we don't wanna go)
Watching as the waves roll by it makes me understand
What it is to make a life that means a little more
Seems so easy to forget what we're all looking for
I don't know where I'm going just yet
Skipping work and I don't need to excuse it
Long as that floating feeling I get in the moment
Makes it really worth it (worth it)
Hey, forget about your Monday morning
We are never gonna be that boring
Hey, forget about your Monday morning
So, so ordinary same old story
Ey, oh, ey, oh, ey, oh, ey, oh, ey, oh, ey, oh

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.
Magical

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.
