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 got you arrested because
Are you come or gone?
I am about to set this off
The party is done
The wine is there to keep yourself
You got it wrong
So I brought you plenty thoughts
Words were at a loss
It's a good day to skip because
The party is gonna call
The wine there to keep yourself
But don't you ever listen at all?
The parents are enforcing the law
The wine is there to keep yourself
But don't you ever listen at all?
The parents are enforcing the law
Are you come or gone?
I am about to set this off
The party is done
The wine is there to keep yourself
You got it wrong
So I brought you plenty thoughts
Words were at a loss
It's a good day to skip because
The party is gonna call
The wine there to keep yourself
But don't you ever listen at all?
The parents are enforcing the law
The wine is there to keep yourself
But don't you ever listen at all?
The parents are enforcing the law

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
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."
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
I think these comments are way off and some of the suggested lyrics.
This song is about a guy -- the singer -- trying to convince someone that they should party: "What is there to keep yourself? You got it wrong. It's a good day to skip. Parents aren't enforcing the laws."
They got in some kind of trouble before but things are going to go just fine this time so let's party. "Don't you ever listen at all?"
Wow, no one has commented on this track. For shame... hah.
Basically it's "everything is going to be all right" song. It harkens back to high school and giving advice such as set your worries aside and enjoy life. Ben comments "... Weed Party,' I was trying to think about the kind of song I'd like when I was 15 and riding around smoking weed. I always wanted to be in a band like that."'
It's a great party track, without being too macho or hedonistic. Easily my favorite track right next to First Song and Great Salt Lake.
Everyone has got it wrong with "the wine". It's really "the whine", as in your whining about not wanting to go to the weed party (or about potentially getting in trouble), is nothing more than fearful thoughts that you allow to control "yourself" and prevent you from having fun. <br /> <br /> "You got it wrong" with your whining because you shouldn't allow negative thoughts to control you, especially when they are unfounded, since your/the parents "aren't enforcing the law" (i.e. they don't really think weed is that big a deal even though they pretend to, and they aren't going to press charges "enforce the law" against the kid(s) who coordinated the party).
Weed Party Yeeeee-hah!
I got you arrested because Are you come or gone I'm about to set this off Until the party's dull The wine is there to keep yourself You got it wrong
So I brought you plexing thoughts Words were at a loss It’s a good day to skip because The party is gonna call The wine is there to keep yourself But don’t you ever listen at all The parents aren't enforcing the laws
The wine is there to keep yourself But don’t you ever listen at all The parents aren't enforcing the laws
That's what I hear anyway.
This is what I'm hearing, and for the most part it makes sense to me. I wish every band would just include their lyrics with the disc.
I got you arrested because Weed Party's come and gone I'm about to reset this song Until Weed Party's dull.... dulled
The wine(?) is there to keep yourself You got it wrong
So I brought you perplexing thoughts Cause words were at a lull...A lull It’s a good day to skip because Weed Party's gonna cull... It's culled
The wine(?) there to keep yourself But don’t you ever listen at all? Parents aren't enforcing the law The wine(?) is there to keep yourself But don’t you ever listen at all? Parents aren't enforcing the law
it sounds like it's the kind of song he would have WRITTEN when he was 15 riding around smoking weed - not musically, just lyrically. hah.
Yeah these lyrics are actually wrong. here ya go:
I got you arrested because The party come and gone I am about to.. to set this off Until weed party's dull.. is dull The wine is there to keep yourself You got it wrong
So I brought you plexi thoughts And words were at a loss.. loss It’s a good day to skip because Weed party's gonna call.. it's call The wine is there to keep yourself But don’t you ever listen at all The parents are enforcing the law
The wine is there to keep yourself But don’t you ever listen at all The parents are enforcing the law
I think it's a great song, but I think the lyrics poster are a bit wrong. First it sounds like he says plexing not plexi, like perplexing thoughts or multi-faceted thoughts. Secondly, I believe he says "parents AREN'T enforcing the law". It sounds that way, and makes more sense in both cases
^ agreed.
Yeah I agree with seven also "parents aren't enforcing the law" meaning they won't get caught.... great song!
i really think the first verse is: i got you arrested because we party come and go.
it sounds like it and would just make more sense that way
