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'm waiting for you to drown in my love
So open your arms
I'm waiting for you to open your arms
And drown in this love
I'm waiting for you to drown in my love
So open your arms
I'm waiting for you to open your arms
And drown in this love
Open your arms and let me show you what love can be like
It's all tears and it will be 'til the end of your time
Come closer my love
Will you let me tear your hearth apart?
Now all hole is gone so drown in this love
I'm waiting for you to drown in my love
So open your arms
I'm waiting for you to open your arms
And drown in this love
I'm waiting for you to drown in my love
So open your arms
I'm waiting for you to open your arms
And drown in this love
So my love your laughter is finally turning into tears
And you're begging for more though the end is getting near
Come closer my love
I'll violate you in the most sensual way... until you drown in this love
I'm waiting for you to drown in my love
So open your arms
I'm waiting for you to open your arms
And drown in this love
I'm waiting for you to drown in my love
So open your arms
I'm waiting for you to open your arms
And drown in this love
So open your arms
I'm waiting for you to open your arms
And drown in this love
I'm waiting for you to drown in my love
So open your arms
I'm waiting for you to open your arms
And drown in this love
Open your arms and let me show you what love can be like
It's all tears and it will be 'til the end of your time
Come closer my love
Will you let me tear your hearth apart?
Now all hole is gone so drown in this love
I'm waiting for you to drown in my love
So open your arms
I'm waiting for you to open your arms
And drown in this love
I'm waiting for you to drown in my love
So open your arms
I'm waiting for you to open your arms
And drown in this love
So my love your laughter is finally turning into tears
And you're begging for more though the end is getting near
Come closer my love
I'll violate you in the most sensual way... until you drown in this love
I'm waiting for you to drown in my love
So open your arms
I'm waiting for you to open your arms
And drown in this love
I'm waiting for you to drown in my love
So open your arms
I'm waiting for you to open your arms
And drown in this love

Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
"I'll violate you in the most sensual way..." has to be one of the greatest lines ever written!
absoutley love this song, the folkish side of HIM defo rocks!!
k basically i think this song is about how all realtionships come to an end in one way or another.
Open your arms and let me show you what love can be like It's all tears and it will be 'til the end of your time Come closer my love Will you let me tear your heart apart? Now all hope is gone so drown in this love
The 1st person knows what love is and the pain it brings so in a way, he tells the person he loves what the love will eventually come to be. Like a warning. Maybe the person is sort of angry at love because of the pain it brings. Once you fall in love with each other, the person loses hope once he/she falls in love because they know what it ends up to be.
So my love your laughter is finally turning into tears And you're begging for more though the end is getting near come closer my love I'll violate you in the most sensual way... until you drown in this love
now that the person has the one he/she loves, they both kno that the end is coming (for whatever reason the writer has). Although they know this, they still want to be 2gether as much as they can since they are hopelessly bound to their love 4 one another. the whole violation line prolly means that the person wants the physical side of it, but doesnt at the same time since it will only bring more pain once they are apart.
His voice is so amazing. I love this song.
Yeah this song is beast clippings.
I love the contrasting vocals, it's what really makes this song awesome.
I Agree with emoeyes, he has an amazing voice and knows how to hit the notes correctly....
best HIM song to date. this song gives me chills!
I finally understand what this song is about... It's about the devil (the heavy voice) trying to drown his slave in love, the devil is trying to say that all hope is gone and he's tempting him to give up on love
Its all tears is generally about the cruelty of love... the person they fall in loiv ewith being summoned so that they can love each other but hurt each other too....thius is not an intent of pain but a contradiction of love..love hurts everyone knows it .....but we always fall in love..Tearing hearts apart and violating in a sensual way just means that by loving her he will hurt her....non intentionally
HIM are chav metal
