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"
Spelar det längre någon roll
Jag orkar inte slåss
Det är bortom min kontroll
Ni lämnade mig ensam
Och självklart blev jag rädd
Min sista gnista hopp
Var att synas att bli sedd
Och jag glömmer bort att andas
För sex, musik och våld
Var det vackraste som hänt mig
Sen själen min blev såld
Att synas utan att verka
Ser enkelt ut på håll
Men jag lever på impuls nu
Via fjärrkontroll
Men jag sa alltid nej
Men ingen, ingen, ingen, ingen hör...
Men ingen, ingen, ingen, ingen hör...
Men ingen, ingen, ingen, ingen hör...
Men ingen, ingen, ingen, ingen hör...
Och gäst ikväll är Jesus
Han har kickat heroin
Han läppjar på sitt glas
Och Ramlösa blir vin
Han berättar om sina vapen
Sin tid i San Tropez
Om att ge sig själv en chans
Om sin nya Z3
I en värld av idioter
Står han först i kön
Han berättar framför kameran
Om hur han bytte kön
Eller något helt annat
Som också är privat
Om alla dom han älskat
Och dom han bara sög av
Men han sa alltid nej
Men ingen, ingen, ingen, ingen hör...
Men ingen, ingen, ingen, ingen hör...
Men ingen, ingen, ingen, ingen hör...
Men ingen, ingen, ingen, ingen hör...
Jag orkar inte slåss
Det är bortom min kontroll
Ni lämnade mig ensam
Och självklart blev jag rädd
Min sista gnista hopp
Var att synas att bli sedd
Och jag glömmer bort att andas
För sex, musik och våld
Var det vackraste som hänt mig
Sen själen min blev såld
Att synas utan att verka
Ser enkelt ut på håll
Men jag lever på impuls nu
Via fjärrkontroll
Men jag sa alltid nej
Men ingen, ingen, ingen, ingen hör...
Men ingen, ingen, ingen, ingen hör...
Men ingen, ingen, ingen, ingen hör...
Men ingen, ingen, ingen, ingen hör...
Och gäst ikväll är Jesus
Han har kickat heroin
Han läppjar på sitt glas
Och Ramlösa blir vin
Han berättar om sina vapen
Sin tid i San Tropez
Om att ge sig själv en chans
Om sin nya Z3
I en värld av idioter
Står han först i kön
Han berättar framför kameran
Om hur han bytte kön
Eller något helt annat
Som också är privat
Om alla dom han älskat
Och dom han bara sög av
Men han sa alltid nej
Men ingen, ingen, ingen, ingen hör...
Men ingen, ingen, ingen, ingen hör...
Men ingen, ingen, ingen, ingen hör...
Men ingen, ingen, ingen, ingen hör...

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
Oh, I could not believe no one had posted on this song. It is so beautiful! Especially after you learn the English translation.
Does it matter anymore I'm tired of fighting It's beyond my control You left me alone And naturally I got scared My last glimpse of hope Was to be visible, to be seen And I forget to breathe 'Cause sex, music and violence Was the most beautiful that has happened to me Since my soul was sold To be seen without effect Looks easy from a distance But I live on impulse now Via remote control But I always said no
But no one, no one, no one, no one hears... No one, no one, no one, no one hears... No one, no one, no one, no one hears... No one, no one, no one, no one hears...
Our guest tonight is Jesus He's kicked his heroïne habit He's sipping from his glass And mineral water becomes wine He tells about his weapon His time in Saint-Tropez About giving himself a chance About his new (BMW) Z3 In a world of idiots He stands first in line He talks in front of the camera About how he changed his sex Or something completely else Which is private as well About every one he loved About those he only gave head But he always said no
But no one, no one, no one, no one hears... No one, no one, no one, no one hears... No one, no one, no one, no one hears... No one, no one, no one, no one hears...
I think they are talking about life in general in the beginning, and in the second verse, I think they are using Jesus as an example of people in general now a days. Just think about it for a minute or two...
the song is about the shallow people who stars in reality shows, or media whores in general. Just think about it for a minute or two... (:
I totally LOVE this song! Absolutely one of Kent's best, among 747 and Dom Som Försvann. I like the way Jesus gets involved in the text, it adds that special, undefinable, deep feeling that only really good Kent songs have. For me personally, I feel that in some songs by Kent, they just sing as strange things as possible - things without any meaning at all - just because their fans expects that. This song however is totally perfect and you can really feel the honesty in it, it lies something behind the words, if you know what I mean? But this is of course just my opinion and how I feel, and it's up to everyone to get their own interpret Kent's music as they want :)
Thanks for EuphoricDysphoria's translation!!!
Den här låten har alltid varit lite speciell för mig, och antagligen har jag feltolkat den som fan av den anledningen, but, here it goes:
Det känns som att låten är uppdelad i två: vers 1, som handlar om någon som har blivit lämnad ensam åt sig själv "jag orkar inte slåss/ det är bortom min kontroll/ du lämnade mig ensam" därav blir han väldigt destruktiv "för sex musik och våld/ var det vackraste som hänt mig"
Sedan kommer refrängen, som talar om människans isolation (gud vad jag låter djup...)
Sedan andra versen, där de talar om Jesus, men jag tror mer att de talar om någon med uppblåst ego, dvs, någon som TROR att han är Jesus.
Det är iaf min tolkning (A) älskar verkligen låten, btw
