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"
Um abc no meu peito coubesse
Eu tirava de lá um S
Quando a saudade viesse eu cortava esse S
Em cada pedaço um anzol
Só precisava de um guarda-sol
Eternamente contigo num branco lençol
A cartomante uma carta me desse
Eu queria que um rei viesse
Eu me casava contigo no dia de reis
Mas a feiticeira do mal
Ela desmantela meu carnaval
E me separa de ti quando chega o Natal
Teclar, alguém me teclar
Telefonar ou trocar um olhar
Deixar recado ou bater no meu quarto
Ah, se me desse uma chance a magia
Que noite de fantasia
Alguém me olha, confia
Me leva pra casa
Me ama, depois adormece
Fosse um ladrão, eu seria capaz
Seu coração eu roubava, tirava-lhe a paz
Sabe a Virgínia daquele janeiro?
Casou-se com um motoqueiro, paixão e pouco dinheiro
Feliz habitava abrigo do banco central
Quando o assalto do dia se dá
No tiroteio amamenta e lê seu jornal
Teclar, alguém me teclar
Telefonar ou trocar um olhar
Teclar, alguém me teclar
Telefonar ou trocar um olhar
Deixar recado ou bater no meu quarto
Eu tirava de lá um S
Quando a saudade viesse eu cortava esse S
Em cada pedaço um anzol
Só precisava de um guarda-sol
Eternamente contigo num branco lençol
A cartomante uma carta me desse
Eu queria que um rei viesse
Eu me casava contigo no dia de reis
Mas a feiticeira do mal
Ela desmantela meu carnaval
E me separa de ti quando chega o Natal
Teclar, alguém me teclar
Telefonar ou trocar um olhar
Deixar recado ou bater no meu quarto
Ah, se me desse uma chance a magia
Que noite de fantasia
Alguém me olha, confia
Me leva pra casa
Me ama, depois adormece
Fosse um ladrão, eu seria capaz
Seu coração eu roubava, tirava-lhe a paz
Sabe a Virgínia daquele janeiro?
Casou-se com um motoqueiro, paixão e pouco dinheiro
Feliz habitava abrigo do banco central
Quando o assalto do dia se dá
No tiroteio amamenta e lê seu jornal
Teclar, alguém me teclar
Telefonar ou trocar um olhar
Teclar, alguém me teclar
Telefonar ou trocar um olhar
Deixar recado ou bater no meu quarto
