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 love myself I want you to love me
When I feel down I want you above me
I search myself I want you to find me
I forget myself I want you to remind me
I don't want anybody else
When I think about you I touch myself
I don't want anybody else
I touch myself
You close your eyes and see me before you
Think you would die if I were to ignore you
A fool could see just how much you adore me
Get down on your knees and do anything for me
I don't want anybody else
When I think about you I touch myself
I don't want anybody else
I'm the one who makes you come running
You touch your colen all the time
When you're around your always waiting
I want to make you mine
I love myself I want you to love me
When I feel down I want you above me
I search myself I want you to find me
I forget myself I want you to remind me
I don't want anybody else
When I think about you I touch myself
I don't want anybody else
I don't want anybody else
When I think about you I touch myself
I don't want anybody else
I don't want anybody else
When I think about you I touch myself..........

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/
Blue

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.
THIS IS NOT JOJ!! NOT JACK OFF JILL THIS IS NOT JACK OFF JILL.
Now that is out of the way.. This is Genitorturers; from the album "Machine Love" I own it, and have seen them perform it in concert. This is a rather, now famous, case of mistaken identity. A limewire user mistakenly labeled the song JOJ and all the JOJ fans snatched it up thinking that they missed a song by their favorite, now dismissed, band. So it spread.....and since Genitorturers is relatively underground no one protested.
Sorry but this is not JOJ.
Except for the part where... JOJ didn't cover this song? This just proves how lame downloading music can be. The song you downloaded is be the Genitorturers or however you spell that odd name. And the lead singer doesn't even sound like Jessicka. Such sadness.
But who knows? Maybe I'm wrong? Can any of you direct me to the album that has this cover on it?
You are correct. Jack off Jill never did this cover And they didn’t to Barbie/ugly girl song And they didn’t do a song with korn. [thank god]
The only songs they did that weren’t their own was a cover of the cure’s Lovesong [chgf] And a cover of tom petty - American girl [b side and preformed live only]
sorry but its not them check th scar board F.A.Q And check the JOJ website.
This is by the Genitorturers, from their CD "Machine Love"
See here, there's a clip you can listen to:

Nowhere on iTunes does it say anything about Jack Off Jill doing this song, which is a shame, it was kinda hot thinking so.
I love this song... its a great cover.
Hee hee, this song is just great ^_^
im pretty sure jack off jill didnt cover this song
This song is a GREAT cover song of the Divinyls.
