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"
You were my favorite poster
Hanging on a wall and
Just like a rollercoaster
You kept me waiting for a fall
A surprise I expected
And protected
Like it's all I ever knew
In your eyes you selected me
The same way I chose you
The same way I chose you
I'm so in love with you
My mind is set on you
This time and every time
I just can't get enough of you
And when I'm stuck at home
They think I'm all alone
Don't know what I would do
If they knew I was here with you
I'm here without a reason
Lying on the floor
And you are my favourite season
You keep me warm,
When I am cold
When your hand comes in tward me
I'm ignoring you
It's not that I want to
When I'm gone are you lonely babe
I cannot hurt you
No I will not hurt you
I'm so in love with you
My mind is set on you
This time and every time
I just can't get enough of you
And when I'm stuck at home
They think I'm all alone
Don't know what I would do
If they knew I was here with you
You don't have to move
I want you to stay
You're taped to my wall
Like you're glued to my brain
And now I can't stop
What I couldn't plan
My hands are holding onto you
You're still my favorite poster
Waiting on a wall
We're both on this roller coaster
(Roller coaster, roller coaster, coaster, coaster)
I'm so in love with you
My mind is set on you
This time and every time
I just can't get enough of you
And when I'm stuck at home
They think I'm all alone
Don't know what I would do
If they knew I was here with you
Here with you
Here with you
I just can't get enough
Here with you
Here with you
Don't know what I would do
If they knew I was here with you
Hanging on a wall and
Just like a rollercoaster
You kept me waiting for a fall
A surprise I expected
And protected
Like it's all I ever knew
In your eyes you selected me
The same way I chose you
The same way I chose you
I'm so in love with you
My mind is set on you
This time and every time
I just can't get enough of you
And when I'm stuck at home
They think I'm all alone
Don't know what I would do
If they knew I was here with you
I'm here without a reason
Lying on the floor
And you are my favourite season
You keep me warm,
When I am cold
When your hand comes in tward me
I'm ignoring you
It's not that I want to
When I'm gone are you lonely babe
I cannot hurt you
No I will not hurt you
I'm so in love with you
My mind is set on you
This time and every time
I just can't get enough of you
And when I'm stuck at home
They think I'm all alone
Don't know what I would do
If they knew I was here with you
You don't have to move
I want you to stay
You're taped to my wall
Like you're glued to my brain
And now I can't stop
What I couldn't plan
My hands are holding onto you
You're still my favorite poster
Waiting on a wall
We're both on this roller coaster
(Roller coaster, roller coaster, coaster, coaster)
I'm so in love with you
My mind is set on you
This time and every time
I just can't get enough of you
And when I'm stuck at home
They think I'm all alone
Don't know what I would do
If they knew I was here with you
Here with you
Here with you
I just can't get enough
Here with you
Here with you
Don't know what I would do
If they knew I was here with you

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.

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
