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"
Why would you be like that?
Can always bail out
If you choose to or if you wanted to
Why put yourself in the first place
Where you don't know that you were meant to
Funny how decisions you make
When you fall in love with someone
How would you feel if I kept you secret?
I didn't know what I was afraid of
Well I felt somewhat abandoned
I felt abandoned myself, didn't I?
Stay away from here
Now don't you feel it in your bones
We are coming to the end of an era
And we standing at the edge of cliff once again
Are you ready to jump off?
Are you aware if you get on that spaceship
You're not coming back for a century
Say goodbye to friends and family
I really love you, obviously
Who is it obvious to? Bet no one
Behind six doors, didn't I?
Take me for real
Take me real, real
Can always bail out
If you choose to or if you wanted to
Why put yourself in the first place
Where you don't know that you were meant to
Funny how decisions you make
When you fall in love with someone
How would you feel if I kept you secret?
I didn't know what I was afraid of
Well I felt somewhat abandoned
I felt abandoned myself, didn't I?
Stay away from here
Now don't you feel it in your bones
We are coming to the end of an era
And we standing at the edge of cliff once again
Are you ready to jump off?
Are you aware if you get on that spaceship
You're not coming back for a century
Say goodbye to friends and family
I really love you, obviously
Who is it obvious to? Bet no one
Behind six doors, didn't I?
Take me for real
Take me real, real

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
It paints the scene of a person standing in their kitchen staring at letters from their recently-jailed loved one, who out of the clear blue sky had apparently been struggling with something serious enough to murder someone over. But there was no indication of any problem at all up until to the arrest and subsequent trial.
And it's just baffling to that person standing in that kitchen that nothing seemed unusual or out of the ordinary, that Melody never seemed bothered or mentioned this huge issue in her life (old man being unkind) at all prior to or after killing him. If there was such a significant issue, and apparently there was, how did you not sense anything at all was wrong? Who is this person if she can keep such significant things from you without a pause? Who are you in a relationship with?
