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"
Yeah (uh-huh)
What they want god?
Niggas know the deal here
It's real here (it's real here)
I was told get money, stack what I can
Born in The Ville, a nigga never ran
Seen niggas get cut, shot, stabbed up and kidnapped
Ran over, double crossed, killed for a stack of green one's
Now I live life, do or die
Marcy, son, everybody trying to survive
Maintain yo' strip, cocaine this shit
We ain't leavin' 'til we drain this shit
Playin this shit, street life
But most of y'all hate Bleek right?
I'm supposed to keep heat right?
So you can haul the heat right
Who really give a fuck though
I grew up amongst cut-throats
Nigga, we all want dough
It's a all out thing, drugs produce cream
Guns produce human beings
Nigga what you think?
I got one, stop one (naw)
Drop one, can't stop one
I'm here till the cops come motherfucka
Yo, if you got money, everybody wants some
If you got a dope flow, everybody wants some
Yo' drug game is tight, everybody wants some
When a nigga get right, everybody wants some
If you got money, everybody wants some
If you got a dope flow, everybody wants some
Yo' drug game is tight, everybody wants some
When a nigga get right, everybody wants some
Yo, yo
By my area code, you know I'm able to roll
I'm a Brook-Nam nigga, we locked and low
Dodge y'all, my hungry niggas spot y'all
Ready to bury niggas and fifty shot y'all (you hot god)
Stop y'all, from poppin' y'all lil' nickels
If a rock get soda, I'm makin' somebody cripple
The strip's the issue and my dogs'll sick you
Where yo' body bag dope? The body cat's flow
I twist Cali' herb in Backwoods
Ready to push the Caddy on the curb and smack dudes
I whip OG cars, flip O-Z's, pa
Don't sleep, pa, I'm tryi' to eat, pa
Real to the heart, you real?
We can start a lil' somethin' together
Start frontin' together
Get this money right, mothafuck, hater niggas
Shots to them traitor niggaz, and fake niggas, motherfucka
Yo, if you got money, everybody wants some
If you got a dope flow, everybody wants some
Yo' drug game is tight, everybody wants some
When a nigga get right, everybody wants some
If you got money, everybody wants some
If you got a dope flow, everybody wants some
Yo' drug game is tight, everybody wants some
When a nigga get right, everybody wants some
Yo, dead or alive
I'm forced to put the metal to guys
Raise my right under oath, I ain't tellin' no lies
I'm wanted alive, last niggas tryna survive
Blast niggas, you can ask niggas how to get by
Stay rollin' a lot, brand chocolate tie
Guns so big, by time you see the spark, you die
Niggas fall in the 'Stuy
Won't stop 'til we all in the 'Stuy
Or get caught bustin' down the pie
Crack a bottle for niggas who ain't here or doin' time
In the box, gettin' stops, burnt blocks for dimes
All my niggas sittin' tinted wit' .9s
Been through it or still in it wit' crimes, fuck the innocent kind
I ain't repentin' 'til I die, gettin' head is my alibi
I wasn't there when niggas blazed and that coward died
I'll make a stiff make you niggas raise up, blaze up
Yo' last days is up, motherfucka
Yo, if you got money, everybody wants some
If you got a dope flow, everybody wants some
Yo' drug game is tight, everybody wants some
When a nigga get right, everybody wants some
If you got money, everybody wants some
If you got a dope flow, everybody wants some
Yo' drug game is tight, everybody wants some
When a nigga get right, everybody wants some
If you got money, everybody wants some
If you got a dope flow, everybody wants some
Yo' drug game is tight, everybody wants some
When a nigga get right, everybody wants some
Motherfucka
Faggot ass niggas
Always want some when a nigga get some
Get yo' own you bastard
My clique gon' forever shine for Nine-Nine
Pack three like the year, you want it?
Feel it, nigga
What they want god?
Niggas know the deal here
It's real here (it's real here)
I was told get money, stack what I can
Born in The Ville, a nigga never ran
Seen niggas get cut, shot, stabbed up and kidnapped
Ran over, double crossed, killed for a stack of green one's

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.

Little Feat
Little Feat
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”
No Surprises
Radiohead
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
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.
