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"
Do you remember me
You can't see the things
That make me who I am
You'll never understand
And I gotta keep moving, you're living off my sweat
Moving, the devil's on my back
And these are the days that I dreamed about
And you're always there to remind me
You're my enemy
All that we had has gone away
There are times that fade away
But you'll still be my enemy
The friend you had in me
You turned on so easily
I'm sad to see you go
At least now I know
And I see clearly now
You tried to bleed me
And I see clearly now
You tried to feed on me
You can't see the things
That make me who I am
You'll never understand
And I gotta keep moving, you're living off my sweat
Moving, the devil's on my back
And these are the days that I dreamed about
And you're always there to remind me
You're my enemy
All that we had has gone away
There are times that fade away
But you'll still be my enemy
The friend you had in me
You turned on so easily
I'm sad to see you go
At least now I know
And I see clearly now
You tried to bleed me
And I see clearly now
You tried to feed on me

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."

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 is actually the only song I have heard by them, but if any of their other songs are like it, then Fozzy is ok in my book. I saw the vid one night while watching WWE Afterburn, but I think Jericho can actually sing. Good song.
amazing song about some bitch who screwd you over...
not the only good song wow this band has talent
yah really, that dickhead chris jericho should stop it now as a wwe wrestler since he hasnt made anyone tap out for over 7 months
true jerico suck in the ring
ok Jericho is going to wrestle get over it but yeah this music's great and if he could do both at the same time he should.
well look at it this way for at least a few months jericho weill be fozzy exclusive thats pretty cool but also not
this song is brilliant, it needs to be played loud, jericho was a good wrestler back in 2000.
Jericho is still a great wrestler, as opposed to what he may be made out to be on television.....one of the best in the world in the past few years.
Anywho, great song and this whole CD rules to be honest. Jericho can sing like a champ...or somethin.
They made Jericho out to be a jobber in the end. Before he left to tour with Fozzy and take a break from wrestling.
Other than that this is a cool song.
i never liked him, ever lol, i heard a song long ago from fozzy and i didn't like it, then it just made me loose respect for him so fast. then i heard this song and well i can say that its not that bad so i might go back and check out the older shit.
