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"
Well, you came into this world
Naked, screaming and covered in blood
Who was there to wipe you off
And give you your first hug?
And it took a couple years to figure out how to
Not shit in your pants
But someone was there to clean you up
And powder off your rash
It's been them from the start
The ones you tortured and broke their hearts
The two that you hate
The two that you blame
The very same ones that gave you your name
Remember the time you were five
And you lied about who broke your lamp?
Who were the ones that sat you down
And gave you a second chance?
It's been them from the start
The ones you tortured and broke
Their hearts the two that you hate
The two that you blame
The very same ones that gave you your name
Go home to mom and dad and say you're sorry
It's the least that you can do
After all you've put them through
Oh come on
Beg mom and dad's forgiveness
They deserve it
Even if you don't mean it
Make them believe you that it's true
And when they offered you up all that great advice
You just screamed "fuck you, both
And let me live my life!
I'm gonna go out drinking with my friends
Have unprotected sex
Pierce my nose
And get a tattoo of a dragon on my neck!"
Call mom and dad and finally say you're sorry
It's the least that you can do
After all you've put them through
Oh come on
Beg mom and dad's forgiveness
They deserve it
Even if you don't mean it
Make them believe you that it's true
Cause now you're 35 and working in a warehouse
Cause you spent your college money on cocaine
And the shame of your existence is ever so persistent
Cause you know your parents tried and you're to blame
You're to blame
Cause it's been the from the start
The ones you tortured and broke their hearts
The two that you hate
The two that you blame
The very same ones that gave you your name
Go home to mom and dad and say you're sorry
It's the least that you can do
After all you've put them through
Oh come on
Beg mom and dad's forgiveness
They deserve it
Even if you don't mean it
Make them believe you that it's true
Naked, screaming and covered in blood
Who was there to wipe you off
And give you your first hug?
And it took a couple years to figure out how to
Not shit in your pants
But someone was there to clean you up
And powder off your rash
It's been them from the start
The ones you tortured and broke their hearts
The two that you hate
The two that you blame
The very same ones that gave you your name
Remember the time you were five
And you lied about who broke your lamp?
Who were the ones that sat you down
And gave you a second chance?
It's been them from the start
The ones you tortured and broke
Their hearts the two that you hate
The two that you blame
The very same ones that gave you your name
Go home to mom and dad and say you're sorry
It's the least that you can do
After all you've put them through
Oh come on
Beg mom and dad's forgiveness
They deserve it
Even if you don't mean it
Make them believe you that it's true
And when they offered you up all that great advice
You just screamed "fuck you, both
And let me live my life!
I'm gonna go out drinking with my friends
Have unprotected sex
Pierce my nose
And get a tattoo of a dragon on my neck!"
Call mom and dad and finally say you're sorry
It's the least that you can do
After all you've put them through
Oh come on
Beg mom and dad's forgiveness
They deserve it
Even if you don't mean it
Make them believe you that it's true
Cause now you're 35 and working in a warehouse
Cause you spent your college money on cocaine
And the shame of your existence is ever so persistent
Cause you know your parents tried and you're to blame
You're to blame
Cause it's been the from the start
The ones you tortured and broke their hearts
The two that you hate
The two that you blame
The very same ones that gave you your name
Go home to mom and dad and say you're sorry
It's the least that you can do
After all you've put them through
Oh come on
Beg mom and dad's forgiveness
They deserve it
Even if you don't mean it
Make them believe you that it's true

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.
