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"
So I think you are a fool
Hanging on my every word
It's getting ugly
So I'm ugly
Tear me from your heart
Tearing me apart
So I thought you'd disappear
Being alone is what you fear
Are you lonely?
Yes, lonely
Tear me from your heart
Tearing me apart
Rolling and throwing, consoling
Everything that goes this far
Joking and hoping, revolting
All that shit that's who you are
Holding and scolding, revolving
Peel it back, reveal the scar
Loathing, exploding, controlling
This is what you really are
The time is coming
God is saying
You're feeling happy
You've won the game
The time is coming
A bed of flames
Your life is over and you're to blame
The time is coming
You've gone insane
You're feeling happy
You've won the game
The time is coming
A bed of flames
Your life is over and you're to blame
Rolling and throwing, consoling
Everything that goes this far
Joking and hoping, revolting
All that shit that's who you are
Holding and scolding, revolving
Peel it back, reveal the scar
Loathing, exploding, controlling
This is what you really are
Rolling and throwing, consoling
Everything that goes this far
Joking and hoping, revolting
All that shit that's who you are
Holding and scolding, revolving
Peel it back, reveal the scar
Loathing, exploding, controlling
This is what you really are
Hanging on my every word
It's getting ugly
So I'm ugly
Tear me from your heart
Tearing me apart
So I thought you'd disappear
Being alone is what you fear
Are you lonely?
Yes, lonely
Tear me from your heart
Tearing me apart
Rolling and throwing, consoling
Everything that goes this far
Joking and hoping, revolting
All that shit that's who you are
Holding and scolding, revolving
Peel it back, reveal the scar
Loathing, exploding, controlling
This is what you really are
The time is coming
God is saying
You're feeling happy
You've won the game
The time is coming
A bed of flames
Your life is over and you're to blame
The time is coming
You've gone insane
You're feeling happy
You've won the game
The time is coming
A bed of flames
Your life is over and you're to blame
Rolling and throwing, consoling
Everything that goes this far
Joking and hoping, revolting
All that shit that's who you are
Holding and scolding, revolving
Peel it back, reveal the scar
Loathing, exploding, controlling
This is what you really are
Rolling and throwing, consoling
Everything that goes this far
Joking and hoping, revolting
All that shit that's who you are
Holding and scolding, revolving
Peel it back, reveal the scar
Loathing, exploding, controlling
This is what you really are

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.
Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
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.
I think this song is about people who pretend to be all nice and cute and innocent but in reality are just manipulating others around them, hating and envying them (the corus) because they are lonely... however the guilt of what they are doing makes them hate themselves.
So I think you are a fool Hanging on my every word It's getting ugly So I'm ugly
So I thought you'd disappear Being alone is what you fear Are you lonely? Yes, lonely
Both sides of the conversation are the same guy talking down to himself dispreciatly.
Tear me from your heart Tearing me apart
I think that he is secretly praying that everyone will see through his farce, tearing their bonds from him and hurting him in the process.
The time is coming God is saying You're feeling happy You've won the game The time is coming A bed of flames Your life is over and you're to blame The time is coming You've gone insane You're feeling happy You've won the game The time is coming A bed of flames Your life is over and you're to blame
I think that this is when people find out about the darkness inside of him. He has been carrying on the lie until he has everyone fooled and then a mistake (the bed of flames) and he has been revealed as a "bad person" alianizing him from his old peers maybe forever (Your life is over and you're to blame )
This is just my interpretation so forgive my rant and my bad spelling... thank you
