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"
Fuck you - you really like that money
Fuck you - I bet you bet its funny
Fuck you - Your pillow full of nickels
Fuck you - As long as you can sleep at night
Fuck you - You truly are my best friend
Fuck you - Forever never ending
Fuck you - You love me like a brother
Fuck you - You rob me like a...
You got no spine
You live your lie
You hide your story
And even though its not the money
Its the pain
You spend in vein
Ill see ya sorry
Cause what you greed is what you get
Take it all
Fuck me - I cant believe I bought it
Fuck me - I would have never thought it
Fuck me - Your financial amnesia
Fuck me - Later when I see zure
Take! What? You cant hang on?
I cant take it What you want from me
You wanna watch me bleed
Pain pain go away
Fuck with me some other day
Fuck you - I bet you bet its funny
Fuck you - Your pillow full of nickels
Fuck you - As long as you can sleep at night
Fuck you - You truly are my best friend
Fuck you - Forever never ending
Fuck you - You love me like a brother
Fuck you - You rob me like a...
You got no spine
You live your lie
You hide your story
And even though its not the money
Its the pain
You spend in vein
Ill see ya sorry
Cause what you greed is what you get
Take it all
Fuck me - I cant believe I bought it
Fuck me - I would have never thought it
Fuck me - Your financial amnesia
Fuck me - Later when I see zure
Take! What? You cant hang on?
I cant take it What you want from me
You wanna watch me bleed
Pain pain go away
Fuck with me some other day

Well this is my first lyric and since this is a new artist besides i'd better add a comment lest it end up like many other artists on this place and have 20 songs with 0 comments.
I can relate to this song personally, in a number of ways. For example, a friend of mine used to always get money off me, mostly just quarters and small shit like that. Up until one day I refused to skip class to break a five for a quarter, i was written a note saying 'Fuck you, Asshole'. As much as i wanted to tell the person off right there for abusing my friendship right there, i held it back, and I can relate this song to my situation quite well. The first 2 verses I would consider to me my retort to the person themself, and the one featuring the Fuck me's would be what i say to myself about it all. So now that I really think about it, I wouldn't think twice about singin this song right to that person.
Allanon_TWB, I've read your lyric report about this song and couldn't understand it... Uh, explain again...
<b>S</b>ong<b>M</b>eanings Mod.
well, i tend to write/type things out without reading it over much, and even then a lot of the time my concentration is so off that i can't even see obvious uhhh, 'irregularities' where it's hard to understand. anyways, to make it as short as possible, this song is, in my opinion, about someone telling someone else off for being abusive. hope that at least made some sense.
