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"
The skin around your mouth
The touch of your lips don't mean as much to me as this
I've never felt so alive until I figured you out
Until I figured you out!
Your words are infectious
Your eyes leave me breathless
I think it's safe to say you're deadly in your own way
I've never felt so alive until I figured you out
Until I figured you out!
I've got the moves to make you move
The thorn in my side just may be you
I know you know what's going on
I know you know what's going on, girl
This is me without you
Breathe easy
The doctors are about to arrive
Just try to run
You can't escape me
This is the last for me
This is the last for me!
What's it like in the greater sky?
I've got the moves to make you move
The thorn in my side just may be you
I know you know what's going on
I know you know what's going on, girl
This is me without you
Breathe easy
The doctors are about to arrive
Tell me what's it like
Tell me what's it like
Breathe easy
The doctors are about to arrive
What a passive thought when the truth is that I've taken your life
Breathe easy
The doctors are about to arrive
Now I'm alive
The touch of your lips don't mean as much to me as this
I've never felt so alive until I figured you out
Until I figured you out!
Your words are infectious
Your eyes leave me breathless
I think it's safe to say you're deadly in your own way
I've never felt so alive until I figured you out
Until I figured you out!
I've got the moves to make you move
The thorn in my side just may be you
I know you know what's going on
I know you know what's going on, girl
This is me without you
Breathe easy
The doctors are about to arrive
Just try to run
You can't escape me
This is the last for me
This is the last for me!
What's it like in the greater sky?
I've got the moves to make you move
The thorn in my side just may be you
I know you know what's going on
I know you know what's going on, girl
This is me without you
Breathe easy
The doctors are about to arrive
Tell me what's it like
Tell me what's it like
Breathe easy
The doctors are about to arrive
What a passive thought when the truth is that I've taken your life
Breathe easy
The doctors are about to arrive
Now I'm alive

Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
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."

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
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.

No comments? I'm addicted to this song! I think it's about a girl who broke the guy's heart in some way, and leaves him dead (not literally) and miserable, but her looks mean everything to the guy, but he gets revenge anyway, so I guess he kills her and she ends up in the hospital and then he asks how does it feel to be hurt like him. And then she dies and the guy is all better (all alive.)
agreed :)<br /> <br /> would be sick if the title counters the title of Circa survive's - We're All Theives<br /> <br /> <br /> (simply put) i think the song is him getting over her and she isnt over him and hes rubbing it in her face... and uses all these fancy words to get the point across liek most musicians... poetic device.. Amazing song<br /> <br /> but i like snort's version better.
live they said this was about sex
so, "breathe easy, the doctors are about to arrive"
....maybe she's pregnant with his baby?
"What a passive thought when the truth is that I've taken your life"
maybe she died giving birth
hell if i know..
thats what i was thinking
one of the best songs from the albumm :)
I lovee it. Its soo... something I especially lovee the "breathe easy.. " part Sooooo... Treeee...
Plain Awesomee In Retards Terms :)
this song makes perfect sense if its about sex. i love it. at the beginning, he's describing when theyre having sex. how shes irresistable and is "deadly" to him. then he "figured" her out, as if she cheated on him. and once things got rough, hes kinda taking it out on her. its like he hurt her physically through lust. and the girl had hurt him emotionally. so hes saying how does it feel and now he's the one thats alive through this.
Idk, I might be taking it too literal. but i guess songs are up for personal interpretation.
i could see how it's about sex; but when i heard it i thought it was kind of about a girl he was into but didn't understand. whether he learned she had ulterior motives or something i don't know exactly. But, i sort of related to it in this perspective, like he really cared about the girl and she made him crazy because he didn't understand her at all, didn't know what to expect, didn't know where he stood with her, all that jazz. So finally something clicks or he learns something and suddenly he gets her, and so it just makes it all the more exciting.
"The touch of your lips don't mean as much to me as this I've never felt so alive until I figured you out" [love these lines] He'd love to touch her, kiss her, but that means nothing compared to him finally feeling like he knows her [knows what to expect...].
The.first.time.I.heard.this.song...I.listened.to.it.like.9707937450734507903112300..timess..I.think.it's.amazing. :)
I've got the moves to make you move The thorn in my side just may be you [its her fault] I know you know what's going on I know you know what's going on girl [hes breaking up with her] This is me without you [hes moving on]
What's it like in the greater sky? [the greater sky = being single]
breathe easy, the doctors are about to arrive [hes hurt her emotionally and she needs help]
Sex. The end.
