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"
Whenever life gets you down…
Keeps you wearing a frown…
And the gravy train has left you behind
And when you’re all out of hope…
Down at the end of your rope…
And nobody is there to thrown you a line
If you ever get so low
That you don’t know which way to go,
Come on and take a walk in my shoes
Never worry about a thing
Got the world on a string
‘Cause I got the cure for all of my blues…
(All of his blues…)
I take a look at my enormous penis
And my troubles start melting away
I take a look at my enormous penis
And the happy times are coming to stay
I gotta sing and I dance
When I glance in my pants
And the feelings like a sunshiny day…
I take a look at my enormous penis
And everything is going my way
(Whistling)
I take a look at my enormous penis
And my troubles start a melting away
I take a look at my enormous penis
And the happy times are coming to stay
Yeah I got great big amounts
In the place where it counts
And the feelings like a sunshiny day
I take a look at my enormous penis
And everything is going my way
And everything is going my way
Oh Yeah…
Keeps you wearing a frown…
And the gravy train has left you behind
And when you’re all out of hope…
Down at the end of your rope…
And nobody is there to thrown you a line
If you ever get so low
That you don’t know which way to go,
Come on and take a walk in my shoes
Never worry about a thing
Got the world on a string
‘Cause I got the cure for all of my blues…
(All of his blues…)
I take a look at my enormous penis
And my troubles start melting away
I take a look at my enormous penis
And the happy times are coming to stay
I gotta sing and I dance
When I glance in my pants
And the feelings like a sunshiny day…
I take a look at my enormous penis
And everything is going my way
(Whistling)
I take a look at my enormous penis
And my troubles start a melting away
I take a look at my enormous penis
And the happy times are coming to stay
Yeah I got great big amounts
In the place where it counts
And the feelings like a sunshiny day
I take a look at my enormous penis
And everything is going my way
And everything is going my way
Oh Yeah…

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.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
what a funny ass song, who the hell are these guys, their great!
It's very funny indeed – and humor can be a good way to get people talking about things. For example, penis health, which too many people with penises (i.e., guys) neglect. More men need to utilize a top drawer penis health cream (health professionals recommend Man1 Man Oil) to maintain health of tools.
this is one funny ass song i think this one would top the marturbation song rock on davincis notebook!
yeah, it's even funnier hearing it. they sing it acapella in a barbershop quartet style, it's great stuff.
i think i sharded myself from laughing so hard at this song...
homestar runner the balad of the sneak... seriously.
Something interesting about this song: it brought into question decency laws in Canada and if the song can be played on the air.
A Calgary radio listener filed a complaint with the Canadian Broadcast Standards Council about the song's lyrics. Specifically: "I've got the cure for all of my blues / I take a look at my enormous penis / And my troubles start a-meltin' away."
The listener's complaint that the song was obscene fell flat before the council's members, who said the item did not break its code of ethics.
"The discussion of penis size is not in and of itself sufficiently unequivocally a sexual matter that it can be said to be in breach of the code," the council said.
I would still hesitate before blaring it at work though.
