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"
O bixo do coco entro en minha casa
E minha cabeza puxose a abalar
O bixo do coco entro en minha casa
Levouse toda minha ilusion
Levouse os cartos, levouse a mulher
Deixo tormenta, nada de comer
O bixo do coco entro en minha casa
Mirome a os olhos, e a meiga falo
Cuando a cabeza fode
Hasta ya reventar
Cuando a cabeza fode
O bixo vai pegar
O bixo do coco entro en minha casa
E minha cabeza puxose a abalar
O bixo do coco entro en minha casa
Levouse toda minha ilusion
Levouse os cartos, levouse a mulher
Deixo tormenta, nada de comer
Bixo do coco entro en minha casa
Mirome a os olhos, e a meiga falo
Cuando a cabeza fode
Hasta ya reventar
Cuando a cabeza fode
O bixo vai pegar
Bixo do coco mandome matar
Bixo do coco mandome a cadea
Bixo do coco quito libertad
Bixo do coco deixome aquelado
Bixo do coco, bixo do coco
O bixo do coco entro en minha casa
E minha cabeza puxose a abalar
O bixo do coco entro en minha casa
Levouse toda minha ilusion
Levouse os cartos, levouse a mulher
Deixo tormenta, nada de comer
Bixo do coco entro en minha casa
Mirome a os olhos, e a meiga falo
E minha cabeza puxose a abalar
O bixo do coco entro en minha casa
Levouse toda minha ilusion
Levouse os cartos, levouse a mulher
Deixo tormenta, nada de comer
O bixo do coco entro en minha casa
Mirome a os olhos, e a meiga falo
Cuando a cabeza fode
Hasta ya reventar
Cuando a cabeza fode
O bixo vai pegar
O bixo do coco entro en minha casa
E minha cabeza puxose a abalar
O bixo do coco entro en minha casa
Levouse toda minha ilusion
Levouse os cartos, levouse a mulher
Deixo tormenta, nada de comer
Bixo do coco entro en minha casa
Mirome a os olhos, e a meiga falo
Cuando a cabeza fode
Hasta ya reventar
Cuando a cabeza fode
O bixo vai pegar
Bixo do coco mandome matar
Bixo do coco mandome a cadea
Bixo do coco quito libertad
Bixo do coco deixome aquelado
Bixo do coco, bixo do coco
O bixo do coco entro en minha casa
E minha cabeza puxose a abalar
O bixo do coco entro en minha casa
Levouse toda minha ilusion
Levouse os cartos, levouse a mulher
Deixo tormenta, nada de comer
Bixo do coco entro en minha casa
Mirome a os olhos, e a meiga falo

@[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.

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.

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.
Beeeep! Close. It's 'gallego', from the north west. It has some similarities with Portuguese. Manu's father is from there.
what language is this?
maybe "catalan", a language typical from the north east of Spain...
Something about a coconut bug?
exactly, gallego... And it's about a coconut bug..
ahaha, shit.. all song I was caught between whether it was in Portuguese, Spanish or Catalan! How many languages can he speak!?
Does anyone here have, or can anyone create a translation of this in English? I'd love to know what I'm singing!
I don't speak Galego (although everyone calls me "Galego", but that's a different story), but it's close enough to Portuguese. (And I'm not sure that this is Galego - I think it's more likely a mixture of French, Spanish, and Portuguese.) Mr. Chao further complicates things by peppering his lyrics with regional slang terms. The lyrics are, more or less:
The coconut bug entered my house And my head started to shake The coconut bug entered my house And took with it all my illusions Took with it all the "cartos", took with it my wife It left torment, nothing to eat The coconut bug entered my house Looked me in the eyes, and the gentle one spoke When the head gets fucked up Until it's already exploding When the head gets fucked up The bug comes and gets it
The coconut bug entered my house And my head started to shake The coconut bug entered my house And took with it all my illusions Took with it all the "cartos", took with it my wife It left torment, nothing to eat The coconut bug entered my house Looked me in the eyes, and the gentle one spoke
When the head gets fucked up Until it's already exploding When the head gets fucked up The bug comes and gets it
Coconut bug sent me to kill Coconut bug sent me to prison Coconut bug cancelled/compromised liberty Coconute bug left "maquelado"
The coconut bug entered my house And took with it all my illusions Took with it all the "cartos", took with it my wife It left torment, nothing to eat The coconut bug entered my house Looked me in the eyes, and the gentle one spoke
I read somewhere that Bixo de coco also means The Sandman. Have no idea, but it makes sense in context
bixo de coco is head lice
