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"
well I was sitting in my limousine, drinking champagne
when this little girl knocked on my door
she was crying for my money and I told her:
"little honey I don't have enough I need more"
she was poor I am a rich
so what I really didn't need was that bitch
but anyway I asked her to sit on my seat
so I could mingle off her clothes and feel her heart beat
everybody knows my name
everybody wants my fame
there's nobody I can blame
jamie fame flame
thats my name
next day in the paper I read about a raper
a picture that was supposed to be me
so when I was walking down the stairs
and I didn't seem to care
I met this crowd and they were shouting at me
they were jumping on my records burning all my pictures
closing down the fanclub, turning over my car
then I realized they were all hypnotized and that I was no longer a star
everybody hates my name
maybe I should do the same
there's just one man I can blame
jamie fame flame, that's my name
then I woke in the morning in the middle of a desert
I found myself alone without clothes
I was freezing I was yawning
then I met this little wizard and he taught me how to sing with my nose
we sang a lot of songs of what is right and what is wrong
I felt like if I was in a haze
and he took me to a cave where we all were warm and safe
that was the place where I ended my days
everybody knew my name
everybody wanted my fame
there's just one man I could blame
jamie fame flame was my name
when this little girl knocked on my door
she was crying for my money and I told her:
"little honey I don't have enough I need more"
she was poor I am a rich
so what I really didn't need was that bitch
but anyway I asked her to sit on my seat
so I could mingle off her clothes and feel her heart beat
everybody knows my name
everybody wants my fame
there's nobody I can blame
jamie fame flame
thats my name
next day in the paper I read about a raper
a picture that was supposed to be me
so when I was walking down the stairs
and I didn't seem to care
I met this crowd and they were shouting at me
they were jumping on my records burning all my pictures
closing down the fanclub, turning over my car
then I realized they were all hypnotized and that I was no longer a star
everybody hates my name
maybe I should do the same
there's just one man I can blame
jamie fame flame, that's my name
then I woke in the morning in the middle of a desert
I found myself alone without clothes

then I met this little wizard and he taught me how to sing with my nose

there's just one man I could blame
jamie fame flame was my name

@[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."
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.
Funny funny son, very selfexplicatory. Its about a guy who is really fampus and everybody loves him, but then he gets a little girl who was begging for money into his limo and he has sex with her (probably not concentious). So after that incident, all the people who used to worship him now hate him, and he realizes that fame is a very unstable ground. The end gets very very surrealistic, I guess they are trying to explain how loneliness is in a very weird way. I dont really think anyone who actually listened to this song wont grap the meaning, but its a great song and it should have a comment.
