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"
[Verse 1]
She's asleep now I can tell by her breathing
The slow and steady rhythm that her pulse is beating
Mine's more frantic, I wonder of what she's dreaming
I wake up in the morning as she's off and leaving
and I Peel the covers back she's my big deal
My doctor phil fulfilled yeah she's my Brazil
I'm seeing why she chose healing
The way we get along is a symptom of the close feeling
and though my monitor gets more of me than she does
We've got love but love does not always lead us and well, that's the grind
I wanna look back on my life and say I've done my time and
underline these cloud number 9s
We've both got our own hassles, the view we look out over
Isn't always panoramic so our feathers get ruffled
Let's stay on our toes we never played it slow
Lay low but we stay on the go, so hear me out
[Chorus: Mark Pearl] {X2}
You should know that, you're my best friend
('there's no other')
Love for me
I got you and you got me
[Verse 2]
You should see the way she greets me, with her day changing smile
she heats me, arms out to reach me
Years down the track could it be that it's so easy?
I'll keep believing as long as she still needs me
Steady as decade-old oaks I find I'm envious of old folks
who stay together until they croke
Still flushed with rushes of love to the head
Even after the years worth of words said
I want to share a deckchair and there I'll run
My worn out hands through your beautiful grey hair
And we'll laugh about, what we worried of in our 20s
and We didn't stop to consider if we were ready
and we rarely placed the penny in any priority
We could groundhog day it without any monotony
Our love never sought no headline, nor sort no deadline
Here we are again, it's bedtime
[Chorus: Mark Pearl] {X4}
You should know that, you're my best friend
('there's no other')
Love for me
I got you and you got me

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.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
there aren't many love songs in aussie hiphop like this, there should be more!
This song's fairly self explanitory. It reminds me of me and my girl :)
