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"

Fall into a spell way deeper than hell
Sensation was given to me from my homegirl Chelle
Told me, since I was in pain and I like to rebel
This Motorola I'm givin you will suit you real well
Ten minutes twenty minutes thirty minutes feelin funny
Butterflies (Jeah!)
My eyes dilate another size
Overwhelming since of love
Got these nutts so sprung
Walk up to a stranger baby
Can I suck yo tongue?
Tinglin baby got me feelin mingling baby
This is a hella higher learnin than singleton baby
One minute I'm cold next one I'm heat (Jeah!)
Give me some, Big Red so I don't grind my teeth
This is deep
I take another one (Jeah!)
And another one (Jeah!)
And another one
Uh oh here comes the other one (Jeah!)
I'm simulated main
I'm hella blown away
And all my problems that I had have all gone away (Jeah!)
I'ma pop another pill and I'ma take a sip of Carabou to wash it down (Jeah!)
You thinkin I'ma overdose I never had a moment that'll turn a nigga round (Jeah!)
I really want to get you but I gotta do my dick is in the bed I want to start (Jeah!)
I feel I want to fuck you but my dick is really numb
and I don't see me gettin hard (Jeah!)
She told me to take this cap of GHB with a gulp of Mountain Dew with glee
So I could possibly end my existence (Jeah!)
GHB, ain't no need for resistance (Jeah!)
Ecstacy (Jeah!)
Yeah!

I'm on five pills and a cap of date rape
One Carabou Lou and it ain't even late, great
I feel good (Jeah!)
Let's go to the Ex house
That's where Heather and Marty got everybody Exed out
Walkin the crib
My homegirl say Tech's with me
'cause she know all the bitches want to get next to me
I'm a star and ladies want to have sex with me
But the bitches still get jealous offa Ecstacy
It's like thirty people in the house (Jeah!)
Rave bitches, massage and glow sticks in the mouth (Jeah!)
I take another cap of G with my Mountain Dew (Jeah!)
I'm higher than the top floor of the Fountain Blue (Jeah!)
Somebody said they got the chronic, line it up mane (Jeah!)
Let's smoke it all til we fall then get up again (Jeah!)
I want to fuck but I'm numb 'cause I'm fizzled up (Jeah!)
Skip to the Lou, I tried to piss dick is shriveled up (Jeah!)
My nigga Kutt got the blunt nigga pass it (Jeah!)
I didn't even know you was here
so he passed it with a couple hits of acid (Jeah!)
Like I refuse to stay alive (Jeah!)
It's pills and mo thrills, I'm lucky if I survive
I'm high!

Dipped out the Ex house
It's right around two
Off to Westport to kick it with the Hurricane Crew
Saw my niggas see and G after party at the room
My homegirl Iesha slipped me a couple grams of shrooms
Damn, it don't stop
Embasy suites three o'clock
With my niggas see and G
Make a hella G and E
I get, two more hits of that Ecstacy shit
I don't want to come down off that Ecstacy trip
Bitches, in the room lookin so fresh so clean
A couple, hella high panties, and brought no jeans
My nigga said that he got codeine
Mixed it with cherry roper tussin and duece I took a sip of his lean
In the bathroom to bust a shit (Jeah!)
I couldn't do it so my bitch came to suck the dick (Jeah!)
It was hard and soft but hard enough to penetrate the slit (Jeah!)
Bout twenty minutes damn near fainted when it was time to spit (Jeah!)
Five o'clock in tha mornin and we still zoned (Jeah!)
Seven o'clock in tha mornin pill is still on (Jeah!)
This life I live, I might not die
If let lone (Jeah!)
Love my experience
This is my fucked up life (Jeah!)
Don't try this at home

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."

Yo La Tengo
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,
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.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
Well I think it is rather apparent what this song means and is displaying. It's displaying the use of drugs, many drugs, mostly ecstasy though. Song is very good, very good sound to it, good to listen to while rolling for all you e-tards =]
Goodness.
