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"
Everyday I get closer and closer to releasing this on you
Revel in it, I can snap it in half and let the other make this happen to you
All I see is over-rated biology drowning me
You're all abortions to me
Fuckin millions and millions of apologies
I don't give a fuck I can make you all go away
Anyway, you make me sick and it doesn't help your case
It's so serious I can't stop laughing
And I cannot wash my mouth of this taste
Defile, destroy, disgrace, deface, defy
I don't know how much longer I can live a lie
I want the whole world to burn, maybe then you'll learn
This wasn't meant to force on my head
Killing everyone
Killing everything
Killing everyone
Killing everything
My arms are dead and my veins are too
And I'm starting to believe
My hands are shaking and I feel my smile
Like a wicked ?
No-ones crying anymore
I am closing the door
I am nothing but a mechanism ?
My ?
My ?
It's time that I give you my pain
Killing everyone
Killing everything
Killing everyone
Killing everything
Revel in it, I can snap it in half and let the other make this happen to you
All I see is over-rated biology drowning me
You're all abortions to me
Fuckin millions and millions of apologies
I don't give a fuck I can make you all go away
Anyway, you make me sick and it doesn't help your case
It's so serious I can't stop laughing
And I cannot wash my mouth of this taste
Defile, destroy, disgrace, deface, defy
I don't know how much longer I can live a lie
I want the whole world to burn, maybe then you'll learn
This wasn't meant to force on my head
Killing everyone
Killing everything
Killing everyone
Killing everything
My arms are dead and my veins are too
And I'm starting to believe
My hands are shaking and I feel my smile
Like a wicked ?
No-ones crying anymore
I am closing the door
I am nothing but a mechanism ?
My ?
My ?
It's time that I give you my pain
Killing everyone
Killing everything
Killing everyone
Killing everything

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."
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.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
I made some edits on the lyrics here if you want to change them because a lot of this is wrong and I've also seen the same mistakes on other sites, I still don't have it all down but I'm 99.9% the changes I made are correct after listening to it time and time again. Feel free to add to the "?" marks, I still can't figure out what he (Corey Taylor) is saying on those parts, its almost inaudible to me. If you listen to the song while reading the lyrics you can tell that some of the lyrics above are way off:
Everyday I get closer and closer to releasing this on you Revel in it, I can snap it in half and let the other make this happen to you All I see is over-rated biology drowning me You're all abortions to me Fuckin millions and millions of apologies I don't give a fuck I can make you all go away
Anyway, you make me sick and it doesn't help your case It's so serious I can't stop laughing And I cannot wash my mouth of this taste
You try to destroy Afraid to face the facts I don't know how much longer I can live a lie I want the whole world to burn, maybe then you'll learn It wasn't meant to force on my head
Killing everyone Killing everything Killing everyone Killing everything
My arms are dead and my veins are too And I'm starting to believe My hands are shaking and I feel my smile Like a wicked ?
No-ones crying anymore I am closing the door I am nothing but a mechanism ? My ? My ? It's time that I give you my pain
Killing everyone Killing everything Killing everyone Killing everything
Touched up a bit on this part too:
Defile, destroy, disgrace, deface, defy I don't know how much longer I can live a lie I want the whole world to burn, maybe then you'll learn This wasn't meant to force on my head
good but "fluorish on my Earth" instead of "force on my head" i believe
