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 let your guard down once again
I took advantage, broke the skin
I watched it fall apart
I witnessed it all decay
You'll beg to be a part of it
You'll cry when you can't handle it
You'll make the same mistake
They all made one day
I know
Bring that to me
Shut your mouth
You wear the scars and bruises well
When will the cuts and scratches heal?
When does the price you pay to play outweigh the play?
Before your finger points to me
Remember "Who inspired me"
And shove your fucking borrowed selfish identity
You think it's all just a game
Try not to lose to his face
But have you ever seen what it can do?
You'll fill it up till it bursts
It starves the sick but still hurts
You think that your life means something to me?
I know
Bring that to me
Shut your mouth
Your life means nothing at all to me
I'll break your innocent smile at the seam
You think there is never a price to pay
You've already made the same mistake
This is my life
This is my life
So here we are
You though you'd enjoy all the fame
But now we're laughing
You'll never be, no, you'll never be the same
You think it's all just a game
Try not to lose to his face
But have you ever seen what it can do?
You'll fill it up till it bursts
It starves the sick but still hurts
You think that your life means something?
I know
Bring that to me
Fuck you all
Your life means nothing at all to me
I'll break your innocent smile at the seam
You think there is never a price to pay
You've already made the mistake they've all made
Your life means, nothing
I'll break your, smile
You think there is, never
You've already, made the mistake
Made the mistake they've all made
I took advantage, broke the skin
I watched it fall apart
I witnessed it all decay
You'll beg to be a part of it
You'll cry when you can't handle it
You'll make the same mistake
They all made one day
I know
Bring that to me
Shut your mouth
You wear the scars and bruises well
When will the cuts and scratches heal?
When does the price you pay to play outweigh the play?
Before your finger points to me
Remember "Who inspired me"
And shove your fucking borrowed selfish identity
You think it's all just a game
Try not to lose to his face
But have you ever seen what it can do?
You'll fill it up till it bursts
It starves the sick but still hurts
You think that your life means something to me?
I know
Bring that to me
Shut your mouth
Your life means nothing at all to me
I'll break your innocent smile at the seam
You think there is never a price to pay
You've already made the same mistake
This is my life
This is my life
So here we are
You though you'd enjoy all the fame
But now we're laughing
You'll never be, no, you'll never be the same
You think it's all just a game
Try not to lose to his face
But have you ever seen what it can do?
You'll fill it up till it bursts
It starves the sick but still hurts
You think that your life means something?
I know
Bring that to me
Fuck you all
Your life means nothing at all to me
I'll break your innocent smile at the seam
You think there is never a price to pay
You've already made the mistake they've all made
Your life means, nothing
I'll break your, smile
You think there is, never
You've already, made the mistake
Made the mistake they've all made

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.
