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"
Uh, uh huh
Yo, Bad Boy
Queen Bee, B.I.G.
Come on, come on

[Lil' Kim]
If I could make it rain
I'd make it rain diamonds
So all my girls in the world could keep shrinin'
From Princess cuts to emeralds to H-classes
Yeah, I failed math, but bet I passed the E-class
Went from Chanel No. 5 to two point five
The Melrose resident, every rooms a president
With the lift in wagers, bet ya'll haters can't match that
You're six digits short to catch that (what)
Your net year gross it 20 thou' on commission
My net week gross 100 mil in addition to to the Dow Jones
Stocks, restaurants out in Rome
Plus all the overhead
And the interest on them loans
1 - I want diamonds
She said she wants a man to buy her a Lexus Lans
But that's all right (that's all right)
But still it ain't enough for me
I want diamonds
She said she wants a guy
To do it to her every night
That's all right (that's all right)
But you gotta go down on me
[Lil' Kim]
I had bitches rockin' the red, yellow and green wigs
Cats in they raps tryin' to act like B.I.G.
Remember when Big told ya'll "Get Money"
Remember when Big said play them niggas like dummies, check it
If I could separate all the game from the glory
I'd rather be with Frank, but that's a different story
Cause now a days niggas ain't sayin shit (word)
Runnin off at the lips about what they gonna get
And what they had in '86
I puts them on the spot
Pull out the lap top with the receipt for the yacht
What you got?
Niggas be mute all of a sudden
What, I pushed a button
Shit, that ain't nothin'
[Tonya]
I don't care if he's young or old
Just make him very rich
I just want someone that can spend on me
I want diamonds
Yes I do (girl)
Oh, on and on
And man with lots of dough
And a house that's made of gold
[Lil' Kim]
There's only one thing better than money
Come into my bedroom honey
[Lil' Kim]
Then we can have a drink or two
Cosmos, if you ghetto this Bud's for you
Here's a few
So he can be nice, when I show him this ice on my chest
That I bought with his American Express
I'm a mess, never the less
I'm authentic
Ninety-nine percent B.K., one percent N.J.
Excuse me cause what I'm tryin to say
Is if you ain't thorough
Stay out my borough
Cause when my gun burn, it's loud like Pyros
And when it's your turn, you fold like Gyros
Uh, and ya'll buy your suits in portions
I get mine's from an auction
Million dollar dress that belongs to the Princess
While ya'll shopping at Sax
I been there, done that
Got the sweater and the hat
[Tonya]
I want diamonds
Oh, yeah on and on
Gimme all your money
With a lots of drops
And a house that's made of gold
I want diamonds
[Lil' Kim]
Just gimme scent of Bahamas
And sections of your money
Ya'll know I am the Queen Bee
Baddest bitch in this industry
(I want diamonds)
Just gimme scent of Bahamas
And sections of your money
Ya'll know I am the Queen Bee
Baddest bitch in this industry
Yo, Bad Boy

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
Holiday

@[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."
