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"
Space, their true asylum
The ancient ones they travel on
The architects of our way
In the dark we stay!
The knowledge that you seek is deep inside you
The knowledge that you seek just may reveal
The knowledge that you seek just may reveal
That things are not what they may seem
Can't you wake up and see?
For our own good they tried to deceive
You must learn to believe
That mankind's blind and trying to see
The architects have left us many signs
But the answers lie in death
Fate
Predestination
Manifest
Manipulate
The architects of our way
In the dark we stay!
The knowledge that you seek is deep inside you
The knowledge that you seek just may reveal
The knowledge that you seek just may reveal
That things are not what they may seem
Can't you wake up and see?
For our own good they tried to deceive
You must learn to believe
That mankind's blind and trying to see
The architects have left us many signs
But the answers lie in death
If you're asking yourself
Who you really are
And you question the force-fed religions of man
And you know
You know it just can't be
You know it just can't be
So cleanse your mind
So cleanse your mind
Fear is God's pillar and
It has made you blind
Can't you wake up and see?
For our own good they tried to deceive
You must learn to believe
That mankind's blind and trying to see
The architects have left us many signs
But the answers lie in death
If you're asking yourself
Who you really are
And you question the force-fed
religions of man
And you know
You know it just can't be
You know it just can't be
So cleanse your mind
So cleanse your mind
Someone must hold the key
Someone must hold the key
The ones who sowed the seed
The ones who sowed the seed
Faith is the final key
The final key
What lies beyond the stars
Lies beyond the stars
Can't you wake up and see?
Wake up and see!
Oh you must learn to believe
Our makers, Our framers,
our fathers, our gods
The architects roam on their
quest for a spirit unknown
If you're asking yourself who you really are
And you question the force-fed
religions of man
And you know.....
Our makers, Our framers,
our fathers, our gods
The architects roam on their
quest for a spirit unknown
The ancient ones they travel on
The architects of our way
In the dark we stay!
The knowledge that you seek is deep inside you
The knowledge that you seek just may reveal
The knowledge that you seek just may reveal
That things are not what they may seem
Can't you wake up and see?
For our own good they tried to deceive
You must learn to believe
That mankind's blind and trying to see
The architects have left us many signs
But the answers lie in death

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."
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
This is one of the bonus tracks on the limited edition of Touched By The Crimson King. Man, this song is so fucking excellent!
As for the meaning:
I think the "architects" decided to hide what life really is about, in many ways, possibly by giving religion to men; because mankind is not capable to handle the truth about universe (the line "For our own good they tried to deceive"), however they left us signs so the ones who are worthy of knowing will evenutally find out.
That's how I see it anyway, kind of an occult theme.
This song sounds like it's about Scientology.
Yes, sort of, but a bit deeper than that. =)
I think this song is supposed to be a wake up call for people to realize that any one religion is blinding and that we were made to never know where we came from or who made us and that the beings who created us are like us in that they are trying to discover the meaning of their existance. It sounds like scientology, but i think it may have something more to do with an agnostic view of existance or the evercontinuing search for our origin.
It's more Gnostic "look inside" for the answers. Also kinda makes me think Matrix.
I keep thinking Lovecraft...
This song makes me think about masonry and the free masons. They 'worship' the great architect of the universe, or something like that, and they believe more in reason than in religion and etc.
Ok, I'm not an expert in the subject but it looks A LOT like masonry for me.
Re Blaed's comments: my spirituality (deistic, further classification pending) takes your idea a step further: the beings who created us did so BECAUSE they were trying to better understand their own existence. This universe is a simulation and predictive model of the one in which its creators live. (It may also be serving an entertainment purpose.) Even though we weren't provided with a consistent set of revelations to tell us who created us and where we're headed, we may nevertheless have enough brains to figure it out.
Was it actually Hansi who wrote these lyrics? Because they sound very Deistic (Hansi's a Christian, btw), and Schaffer IIRC is a Deist.
Schaffer, quoted at metal-rules.com/interviews/Jon_Schaffer.htm: "I believe in the human spirit and in a higher power. However I have a real problem with the church and the scare tactics used to control people."
