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"
Lost in the twilight we sail for the moon
And stars light or way upon the horizon
Crazed by the stars so eager to stray
If we should come there tonight say would they stay
Now we're bound for ground patrol
When we were ment to find them all
Sorcerers
We sail for the sun and the twinkling ones
How careless they play, must be the reason
Dazed by the starlight, to find us a reason we go
And if we should come there tonight say would we know
Now we're bound for ground patrol
When we were ment to find them all
Sorcerers
Now we're bound for ground patrol
When we were ment to loose control
Sorcerers
And stars light or way upon the horizon
Crazed by the stars so eager to stray
If we should come there tonight say would they stay
Now we're bound for ground patrol
When we were ment to find them all
Sorcerers
We sail for the sun and the twinkling ones
How careless they play, must be the reason
Dazed by the starlight, to find us a reason we go
And if we should come there tonight say would we know
Now we're bound for ground patrol
When we were ment to find them all
Sorcerers
Now we're bound for ground patrol
When we were ment to loose control
Sorcerers

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."
No Surprises
Radiohead
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

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.
Sorcerors are mystics or anyone involved in supernal matters, which is practically everyone since those are the very foundations of life.
This would be a poignant song to hear with some psylocybin with a clear, full moon in the night sky.
~Lost in the twilight we sail for the moon, And stars light our way upon the Horizon~
Consider that what all of life has in common is the physics of Light in relation to the sun and the moon, the giver and the receiver. Desire
~Crazed by the stars so eager to stray If we should come there tonight say would "they" stay~
The stars impell, but they do not compell. "They", in the second line there, reminds me of angels, which are also called "stars"
~We sail for the sun and the twinkling ones, How careless they "play", must be the Season~
the "play" of the servants of Divinity is influence and transformation
~Dazed by the starlight, to find us a Reason we "go", And if we should come there tonight, say would we know~
I think "go" in this portion is talking about Lucid Dreams or maybe death.... not sure, depends on what I'm feeling when I hear it
~Now we're bound for ground patrol When we were ment to find them all Sorcerers~
the chorus is kool ...the ground patrol we do is relationships, and we are meant to come into Concorde with ALL
we were meant to loose control to provide a place for service or formation...
there first was Primordial Man and emanation from the Tree of Life (which was only Light), then came the Shattering of the Vessels
examine this phenomenon in free time... it's amazing
Eyn Sof is Endlessness.... what will be reality when all of the vesself are mended.... I will just end this songmeanings post with Opening #4 from the navigation tool of the order of the repair....
The Eyn Sof, blessed be He, wanted to bestow complete good, so that its recipients will not even be ashamed. He planned and calculated how to reveal His perfect oneness in actuality, for before Him there are no barriers or deficiencies. Accordingly, He established the system of government that He follows, in which eventually evil actually turns back into good. Initially, He gave a place for evil to do what is in its power, but at the end of everything, all the damage is repaired and all evil turns back into actual good. And thus His oneness is revealed, and this itself is the delight of the souls.
ALL THE BEST ~~
