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"
Man you could be my new girl
Said you could be my new girl
New boyz (D&D)
To keep it 100 im ready for the next chick
My soon to be ex chick about to hit the exit
And right after she leave I leave the key under the mat
When you feeling kind of lonely you be free to come and chat
Know you heard them effin rumours like I beat then leave
But straight drop thats just gossip tmz
Guess the principal is, I don't give no refferals
Check into my district you can be the new girl
I had, so many girls that fade away
In my past I dont think its safe to say
But at last but I think that changed today
You made me think in a major way
You could be, my my my my my you can be my new girl
You could be, my my my my my you can be my new girl
You could be, my my my my my you can be my new girl
Out with the old and in with the new girl
I guess I seen a beauty of my life cause she was a beast
The typical freak she made it with me
How did she end up being caught up all in my world
'Cause now I just imagine baby you can be my new girl
No jokes, no games im feeling you a whole lot
I ran into you and no turns it was a road block
Thinking to myself I had one of em in the past that didn't last
A chick with no class it was so bad
Damn now we in 2009 and im tryna make you my summer girl
You gotta dope mind
Lets go to Texas, Arkansa, Arizona
We can go to Michigan or live life in California my new girl
I had, so many girls that fade away
In my past I dont think its safe to say
But at last but I think that changed today
You made me think in a major way
You could be, my my my my my you can be my new girl
You could be, my my my my my you can be my new girl
You could be, my my my my my you can be my new girl
Out with the old and in with the new girl
Everytime I look into your eyes
I wanna feel fireworks on my insides
You be here for me when I don't know what to do
I need a new girl
I need a girl who could give me some good loving
'Cause I'm known as McLovin
I need a girl thats fresh and fly
We can stay together through the end of time
I had, so many girls that fade away
In my past I dont think its safe to say
But at last but I think that changed today
You made me think in a major way
You could be, my my my my my you can be my new girl
You could be, my my my my my you can be my new girl
You could be, my my my my my you can be my new girl
Out with the old and in with the new girl
Said I'm looking for my new girl
Said I'm looking for my new girl

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."

Amazing

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.
This is my favorite New Boyz song, love it <3
