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 watched us struck
struck by lightning fuck
you been out driving me into your dick
guiding me
boy/girl revolutionaries you and me
that's what you told me
so show me...i'll run you over...watch me
when you say it, say it is us two, too
true, you taught me how to shoot
and best pull up my skirt
and put up with hurt
boy/girl revolutionaries, you lied to me
boy/girl revolution tease
you think you're going far
but you're going nowhere
you think you're taking me
but I'm going elsewhere
I think it's high time I was already out there
Why don't you realize that you're going nowhere?
Mental...men-torn
you had your way, you had your say
you had your way with that girl
now come outta your world
struck by my good luck
face it, you're old and out of touch
prettier dead or just more effective
now we're hunting you and we're not being selective
it's about time you showed some respect
we're gonna trash the square world
boredom, rage, fierce intention
this is the sound of the revolution
post-tension realization
this is happening without your permission
the arrival of a new renegade
girl/boy hyper-nation
i like it that way
future girl vision yeah
this is the sound of revelation
this is the sound of the revolution
girl sound, her sound
her jazz, signals, our time now!
struck by lightning fuck
you been out driving me into your dick
guiding me
boy/girl revolutionaries you and me
that's what you told me
so show me...i'll run you over...watch me
when you say it, say it is us two, too
true, you taught me how to shoot
and best pull up my skirt
and put up with hurt
boy/girl revolutionaries, you lied to me
boy/girl revolution tease
you think you're going far
but you're going nowhere
you think you're taking me
but I'm going elsewhere
I think it's high time I was already out there
Why don't you realize that you're going nowhere?
Mental...men-torn
you had your way, you had your say
you had your way with that girl
now come outta your world
struck by my good luck
face it, you're old and out of touch
prettier dead or just more effective
now we're hunting you and we're not being selective
it's about time you showed some respect
we're gonna trash the square world

this is the sound of the revolution

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.
Holiday
Bee Gees
Bee Gees
@[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.

“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.
What about the part "This is the sound of the revolution"? That's my favorite line, and it's not even written on here.
I agree with des... Punk boys can be just as macho and bro as the bros themselves... I'll dig a little deeper with this and say it's about hetero encounters in the punk/anarchist movements, how everyone claims to be so against the state, and they claim to do whatever the fuck they want... But really, the power relations between the state and the people play out in the very relations between guys and girls in the scene. How punk guys carry their own privilege and power into the basic act of sex (and even in how they relate to each other as people), and oppress women by silencing them and using them. The girls don't see them as allies, but as oppressors in their own scene.
Thank goddess* for riot grrrl.
"You think you're taking me But I'm going elsewhere"
"You had your way with that girl Like I'm out of your world Struck by my good luck Face it, you're old and out of touch OUT OF TOUCH!"
Man, you left out the best parts.
to me this song is about the boys and girls on the punk scene - the boys try to look different than normal guys but they're all the same and they want sex. (said awkwardly)
