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"
Every day she gets by
It's just another day closer to the day she die
The day is passing her by
And the night is just a sequence of her heavy cries
Heavy woman
[Ah!]
Heavy woman
When she turns around
Tremors where she stood on the ground
And I promise you you never heard a sound like the sound
Of heavy woman thighs
She don't see no reason why
That a man can't get a horn with the heavy life
Don't she know she don't fly?
She just keeps on shooting butter from her butter knife
Heavy woman
[Ah!]
Heavy woman
When she sat on the ?
On the floor it snapped
And I promise you you never want to find yourself trapped
In heavy woman thighs
Ooh!
Heaviness never lies
And heavy dreams lay beneath her heavy eyes
Yeah she was once a little girl
But somewhere down the line she fell into a heavy world
Yeah
Heavy woman
[Ah!]
Heavy woman
When she leans down
You can feel it in a neighbouring town
Then the scientists might think that it will affect the tides
When heavy woman dies
It's just another day closer to the day she die
The day is passing her by
And the night is just a sequence of her heavy cries
Heavy woman
[Ah!]
Heavy woman
When she turns around
Tremors where she stood on the ground
And I promise you you never heard a sound like the sound
Of heavy woman thighs
She don't see no reason why
That a man can't get a horn with the heavy life
Don't she know she don't fly?
She just keeps on shooting butter from her butter knife
Heavy woman
[Ah!]
Heavy woman
When she sat on the ?
On the floor it snapped
And I promise you you never want to find yourself trapped
In heavy woman thighs
Ooh!
Heaviness never lies
And heavy dreams lay beneath her heavy eyes
Yeah she was once a little girl
But somewhere down the line she fell into a heavy world
Yeah
Heavy woman
[Ah!]
Heavy woman
When she leans down
You can feel it in a neighbouring town
Then the scientists might think that it will affect the tides
When heavy woman dies

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”
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."

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
At first I thought this was gonna be like Queens Fat Bottom Girls An ode to heavy women everywhere but...no hahaha Dick doesn't like fat chicks then? Maybe look at it as a women who comes with a lot of baggage Not a fat chick but...a crazy bitch haha
Heh, I thought the same thing about FBM. Well, you could be right that this isn't literal, particularly since it's Dick Valentine. But there is a difference between cute chubbiness, a few extra pounds, still reasonably healthy, not so healthy anymore, really not looking good, verging on morbidly obese, and two seats on the airplane. You know what I'm saying? There's a spectrum. Fat bottom girls may rock Freddie's world, but that doesn't mean he'd be rocking the 400-pounders, you know? There are overweight people who still look pretty good, still walk a good distance most days, have a fair amount of muscle in their limbs; the ones who still are taking care of themselves in terms of hygiene, diet, and exercise despite not being skinny... and then there are the kind with big varicose veins who get winded and wheezy just going shopping at the grocery store. Big difference in my mind. So I imagine this song, if it's being literal, as being about the kind of woman who looks like she could have a heart attack at any moment, not America Ferrera or Christina Hendrickson.
F-U, you shallow turd. Keep judging people when you're ugly on the inside and guess which one of us will end up surrounded by true friends and lovers. Arse. Wake up next to 'plastic' the rest of your life (or until you're too old to attract 'em) and see just how truly happy you are.
Varicose weins are heriditary. They can have nothing to do with weight. My mother was always very thin (92 lbs when she had me at age 37) and had them. If you're going to spout off at the mouth, at least not be an ignoramous. People often get winded and weezy (your stooopid words) when they have allergies; when I was thin I was exactly that due to a severe respiratory allergy. I just love know-it-all's who open their mouths and prove to the world how shallow they really are. They are the ones who end up alone unless you count prostitutes.
Let's hope Freddy is not you. You're only talent is for showing the world how superficial and lacking you truly are...need those young, beautiful girls on your arm to build up your deflated ego. Guess what? People are laughing. They look and wonder how much money you have because they can't imagine a young beauty picking you. And if it's not money, than they wonder how much bullshit you've fed them. And they also wonder how long it will be before she wakes up and dumps your sorry arse. Plastic men....gotta love them...NOT.
