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 cannot stand to see your face
Wishing you’d disappear without a trace
All your faults and ignorance
Makes you seem so oblivious
You’ve just made another mistake
But it’ll be the last one that you make
You fool no one
I don’t want you anymore
Just open your eyes and you will see
That you make me sick
I’m everything you ignore
If you open your eyes you will me
You make me sick
I hate the games that you play
You’d anything to get your way
All your flaws and ignorance
Makes you seem so oblivious
I fear nothing will ever change
I won’t go through this again
You fool no one
I don’t want you anymore
Just open your eyes and you will see
That you make me sick
I’m everything you ignore
If you open your eyes you will me
You make me sick
I don’t want you anymore
Just open your eyes and you will see
That you make me sick
I’m everything you ignore
If you open your eyes you will me
You make me sick
Wake up before it’s all over
Wake up
Wake up
Wake up
Wake up before it’s all over
Wake up
Wake up
Wake up
Wake up
You just make me sick
I don’t want you anymore
Just open your eyes and you will see
That you make me sick
I’m everything you ignore
If you open your eyes you will me
You make me sick
I don’t want you anymore
Just open your eyes and you will see
That you make me sick
I’m everything you ignore
If you open your eyes you will me
You make me sick
Wishing you’d disappear without a trace
All your faults and ignorance
Makes you seem so oblivious
You’ve just made another mistake
But it’ll be the last one that you make
You fool no one
I don’t want you anymore
Just open your eyes and you will see
That you make me sick
I’m everything you ignore
If you open your eyes you will me
You make me sick
I hate the games that you play
You’d anything to get your way
All your flaws and ignorance
Makes you seem so oblivious
I fear nothing will ever change
I won’t go through this again
You fool no one
I don’t want you anymore
Just open your eyes and you will see
That you make me sick
I’m everything you ignore
If you open your eyes you will me
You make me sick
I don’t want you anymore
Just open your eyes and you will see
That you make me sick
I’m everything you ignore
If you open your eyes you will me
You make me sick
Wake up before it’s all over
Wake up
Wake up
Wake up
Wake up before it’s all over
Wake up
Wake up
Wake up
Wake up
You just make me sick
I don’t want you anymore
Just open your eyes and you will see
That you make me sick
I’m everything you ignore
If you open your eyes you will me
You make me sick
I don’t want you anymore
Just open your eyes and you will see
That you make me sick
I’m everything you ignore
If you open your eyes you will me
You make me sick

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/

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
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.
Forbidden Theory is a 6-piece Nu-Metal underground band from Washington DC. There underground debut "Hidden Truth" dropped over the summer and this song featured on it. I follow a lot of underground artists and these guys were some of the new artists that caught my eye.
Love it. I can relate to this song the most. It talks about taking the fall for another's troubles and problems for nothing and being a slave to it and wanting to break free of that. It reminds of me of how an ex-boyfriend of mine treated me and if i could, i would scream this chorus in his face.
Tight ass song. Love it. All about being used for someone else's faults and blames and how they've had enough of it. I can relate to it. Love they chorus.
