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"
Paint your face, Cover the black heads
Short top bulging up your saggy tits
Cut your skirt just a little bit shorter,
Don't you wanna
Toilet paper, going down your top
Do ever think about, bringing out some condoms
When you aim to go out and get fucked
Fucked all night long
Wearing No Un Der Wear to slip it in and bang bang
And tattooed on her butt cheeks
Fuck Me
Everybody here comes in your face
You're wanting everybody looking on in your direction
Have you looked at your skin complexion
How could I ever put my dick in you
Bitchin erected muscle lickin
Think I'd rather be chokin my chicken
Do you ever think about who you're fuckin,
Fucked all night long
Cheap Slut
I see
That you don't want to be saved
Protection gets in your way
But I don't want this disease, so. . .
Sucking off in the toilet,
That door has, your name, written on it
You fuck there more every night now
Everything in town
Semen, dripping from your eye lids
Running down your cheek you're rancid,
Tattooed insert across your lips,
I am disgusted
Wearing No Un Der Wear to slip it in and bang bang
And tattooed on her butt cheeks
Fuck Me
Everybody here comes in your face,
You're wanting everybody looking on for your attention
When you fuck is there still sensation
How many men have been in you
Bitchin, erected muscle lickin,
Think I'd rather be chokin my chicken
Do you ever think about who you're fucking
Fucked all night long
Cheap Slut
I see
That you don't want to be saved
Protection gets in your way
But I don't want this disease, so. . .
So what do ya do
Go out and get fucked by 10 different men then go and brag to your friends
Do you think that makes you a better person
Please tell me what you were like as a virgin
Just an easy whore
Open the door and come in
Let the transmitting begin
Do you ever think about the people you're fucking
Bet you laugh at them thinking they got lucky
May as well strap an advert to your back saying 'Fuck Me, Free Disease'

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."
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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.
Page
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
this song is abou most of the girls in my area
lordabortion you from the same place as me? cuz this song was written about girls fom SAFFRON WALDEN> Becca Hicks in particular, fucking whore >:(
Hmmmm this song means to me......... being onstage with SikTh and singing the chorus into the mic before refusing to stagedive so I could stay onstage and meet SikTh when they finished playing. Which I did. And Mikee hugged me. And....i touched...the hair. Oh yes.
fuck yeah! trash-metal at its best!
great song... i'm not so sure about the comment about touching Mikee's hair. that probably wasn't the safest thing you could have done!
this song iz a perfect description of this girl i know....I was sittin on the train the other day and she was WANKING the guy oppisit me and the train was PACKED!!! shudder Its a song about stupid girls who think that for anyone to want them or like them they have to be fucking whores, but in the end everyone just despises them...male or female! Come 2 think of it theres quite a few girls like that round here...
SikTh are sooo INTENSE live...suffice is class!!
i used to get drunk religiously with those guys, its funny because when there own song comes on in a club they all run off the dancefloor and get shy. this song makes me laugh, bit sexist though. noone seems to get pissed off at guys doin this sorta shit
I love this song so much.
Thrash-met nu-met band straight from hell, i'm addicted to this song!
You know, I don't really think it's a sexist song. He's not saying all girls are like what he's describing, just a certain few.
And yes...I'm a lady.
