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"
It's all about (Yo)
Lady Saw and Missy (Can you feel me?)
An the next thing is about (Yo)
The big Bashment party (Can you feel me, what?)
I'm feelin' you Timbaland, I'm feelin' you (Yo)
Yo! (Can you feel me, what?)
And we wind up when we a listen dis now, check, ay!
There's the party
I'm up in the club and I'm drinking
I'm drunk off the Alize
As I hear the record spin it seems to take over me
So I move side to side and it's something inside that controls me
As I walk to the D.J. and I say
"Mr. D.J., spin it one more time
We gonna play it back to back, we gon' rock it two times
Move your feet with me, move your hands with me
See how easy it's gon' be for you and me, you see
Mr. D.J., spin it one more time
We gonna play it back to back, we gon' rock it two times
Move your feet with me, move your hands with me
See how easy it's gon' be for you"
You say you're a baller
'Cause you up in the club, fakin' like you got dough
With your dollars
To my people, spend they money, let me hear you holler
We're gon' party like no other party, don't stop 'til the morning
But before I go, this is what I say
"Mr. D.J., spin it one more time
We gonna play it back to back, we gon' rock it two times
Move your feet with me, move your hands with me
See how easy it's gon' be for you and me, you see
Mr. D.J., spin it one more time
We gonna play it back to back, we gon' rock it two times
Move your feet with me, move your hands with me
See how easy it's gon' be for you..."

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
Holiday

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

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 think this song's lyrics are rather vague and difficult to interperate, with a deep hidden meaning hidden beneath the writer's undeniable talent in the field of lyricism. It may be somewhat of a long shot, but in my opinion, the "DJ" and the record (of which he is asked to "spin one more time") is a metaphor signifying a relationship in ruin, which her current partner in question is oblivious to. The "DJ" is her current partner (possibly among about 5 others), who she is asking to "spin the record"; a record eventually wares out through time, which is her desired outcome of this relationship. Perhaps she is finding him tiresome to be with and is no longer interested in him, thus the reason she is literally asking him to do something to ruin the relationship, which the partner, as mentioned earlier, is oblivious to. He will do anything she asks of him as his gigantic ego and high testosterone level drives him into thinking it will help to improve his chances of intercourse with her, so naturally he will not mind doing her a favour, as farfetched as it may seem. I think most of the whole "collapsing relationship" idea is backed up by the single line "And the next thing is about (yo)", "(yo)" possibly being the greeting to her new desired partner-to-be. Furthermore, she is somewhat of a slut. As mentioned earlier, she probably has about 5 other partners (of whom she is having sexual relations with) which is proved by the line "The big bashing party (can you feel me, what?)", the "bashing party" symbolising an orgy. Other lines also seem to refer to an orgy, such as "no other party is slammin you wan go // sweating and wetting like me in a me sauno", portrayed witih such delightful and poetic lyrics. Well, that's my take on this true masterpiece.
