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 could bleed
does it make me the same as her?
i could show you things
but i feel that you have
seen it all before
and i breathe
does it make me the same as her?
and i feel and i know
i feel exactly the same as her
it can't be
exactly
i am not
tears falling over you
how did you get so old?
how did you get so old?
it can't be
exactly
i am not
tears falling over you
how did you get so old?
how did you get so old?
i can see
that it makes me the same as her
if i shake for you
does it make you feel
the way she made you feel
and i breathe
does it make me the same as her?
and i feel and i know
i feel exactly the same as her
it can't be
exactly
i am not
tears falling over you
how did you get so old?
how did you get so old?
it can't be
exactly
i am not
tears falling over you
how did you get so old?
how did you get so old?
and to think i was the one
that you pushed aside
i could breathe but i fear that i'd
leave it far behind
i'm over
falling over
i could bleed
does it make me the same as her?
i could show you things
but i feel that you
have seen it all before
and i breathe
does it make me the same as her?
and i feel and i know
i feel exactly the same as her
it can't be
exactly
i am not
tears falling over you
how did you get so old?
how did you get so old?
it can't be
exactly
i am not
tears falling over you
how did you get so old?
how did you get so old?
does it make me the same as her?
i could show you things
but i feel that you have
seen it all before
and i breathe
does it make me the same as her?
and i feel and i know
i feel exactly the same as her
it can't be
exactly
i am not
tears falling over you
how did you get so old?
how did you get so old?
it can't be
exactly
i am not
tears falling over you
how did you get so old?
how did you get so old?
i can see
that it makes me the same as her
if i shake for you
does it make you feel
the way she made you feel
and i breathe
does it make me the same as her?
and i feel and i know
i feel exactly the same as her
it can't be
exactly
i am not
tears falling over you
how did you get so old?
how did you get so old?
it can't be
exactly
i am not
tears falling over you
how did you get so old?
how did you get so old?
and to think i was the one
that you pushed aside
i could breathe but i fear that i'd

i'm over
falling over
i could bleed
does it make me the same as her?
i could show you things

does it make me the same as her?
and i feel and i know
i feel exactly the same as her
it can't be

how did you get so old?
how did you get so old?
it can't be
exactly
i am not
tears falling over you
how did you get so old?
how did you get so old?

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."
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“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.
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.
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.
I think that this song is about a girl talking to her boyfriend. And, that he constantly compare her to an ex-girlfriend of his. Obviously one that really hurt him pretty badly.
Also, the girl, the one talking to the guy, is asking him how what is it that reminds him of his ex; making fun of him with lines like:
"i could bleed does it make me the same as her? " "and i breathe does it make me the same as her? " & "if i shake for you does it make you feel the way she made you feel" The guy, apparently, isn't as excited about the new relationship as he was for the previous one. This portion helps me come up with that idea:
"i could show you things but i feel that you have seen it all before"
The line:
"how did you get so old?"
I feel, is the girl getting upset that he seems to be in an almost uncaring fashion. Making him seem like an old man who is nonchalant about anything that takes place. Also, I believe the girl talking to the guy is getting upset by the relationship.
