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"
I don't wanna stand beside you
I don't wanna try and feel the pain you're going through
'Til the death you've seen is through
Cold sweats, hallucinations
I wanna scream to show
The hell I'm going through
The addiction's taking you
Can you see me through bloodshot eyes (bloodshot eyes)
Should I fight for what is right or let it die?
Now I'm choking on force fed lies
Do I fight or let it die?
I will fight, one more fight
Don't break down in front of me
I will fight, one more fight
I am not the enemy
I will try one last time
Are you listening to me?
I will fight, the last fight
I am not your enemy
Everyone is sick of caring
No silver lining on the cloud that covers you
Let it pour and soak you through
No hope, just desperation
So sit and wait for death
And pray it takes you soon
The addiction's taking you
Can you see me through bloodshot eyes (bloodshot eyes)
Should I fight for what is right or let it die?
Now I'm choking on force fed lies
Do I fight or let it die?
I will fight, one more fight
Don't break down in front of me
I will fight, one more fight
I am not the enemy
I will try one last time
Are you listening to me?
I will fight, the last fight
I am not your enemy
Can you see me through bloodshot eyes (through bloodshot eyes)
Should I fight another night or let it die?
Now I'm choking on every lie
Do I fight or let it die?
I will fight, one more fight
Don't break down in front of me
I will fight, one more fight
I am not the enemy.
I will try one last time
Are you listening to me?
I will fight, the last fight
I am not your enemy
I am not your, not your enemy!
I am not your enemy
I am not your enemy
I don't wanna try and feel the pain you're going through
'Til the death you've seen is through
Cold sweats, hallucinations
I wanna scream to show
The hell I'm going through
The addiction's taking you
Can you see me through bloodshot eyes (bloodshot eyes)
Should I fight for what is right or let it die?
Now I'm choking on force fed lies
Do I fight or let it die?
I will fight, one more fight
Don't break down in front of me
I will fight, one more fight
I am not the enemy
I will try one last time
Are you listening to me?
I will fight, the last fight
I am not your enemy
Everyone is sick of caring
No silver lining on the cloud that covers you
Let it pour and soak you through
No hope, just desperation
So sit and wait for death
And pray it takes you soon
The addiction's taking you
Can you see me through bloodshot eyes (bloodshot eyes)
Should I fight for what is right or let it die?
Now I'm choking on force fed lies
Do I fight or let it die?
I will fight, one more fight
Don't break down in front of me
I will fight, one more fight
I am not the enemy
I will try one last time
Are you listening to me?
I will fight, the last fight
I am not your enemy
Can you see me through bloodshot eyes (through bloodshot eyes)
Should I fight another night or let it die?
Now I'm choking on every lie
Do I fight or let it die?
I will fight, one more fight
Don't break down in front of me
I will fight, one more fight
I am not the enemy.
I will try one last time
Are you listening to me?
I will fight, the last fight
I am not your enemy
I am not your, not your enemy!
I am not your enemy
I am not your enemy

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.

Magical

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
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.
I think one thing that the page editor and one of the commenters missed was when he says "I will fight, will you fight?" Instead of "I will fight one more fight" everytime. To me it shows that he's asking the person if they are ready to fight this. He will help fight the addiction along side them. It's just one word but to me it means a lot in the song.
Well I guess technically two words.
