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"
Yo, one-two... it's only right baby
7L.. these cats are easy kills
It's dangerous, yo, check, yo
[Esoteric]
This type of cat live like a psycho-hyperactive sociopath throwin the math
yo my whole staff's on attack on the rap
check the warning track
Rap quarterback, leadin the Patsies in the stack
When the tongue is the trigger I "Squeeze 1st" like Jigga
I'm bigger than a .38 when I terminate
If I'm fly by night, it's cause I sleep 'til 6
Wake up, cop clothes, rock shows with top flows
I be non-peace, being in every beast
Weapons of the East, take it back, give your head a crease
Leave you dead at least, we roll deep with no beefs
On point like Cochise, my bredren hold heat
Leave you, with no teeth like, Kermit the Frog
Murder your squad, with the fear of God, herbin you frauds
You rap Liberaces, make me sicker than the nazis
Esoteric is the name, muthafucka WATCH ME...
{*two different samples overlap*}
"Watch where you're headin now.. watch where you go"
"Uh-huh!Uh-huh motherfucker uh-huh!
Watch me, Duke, watch me" --> Ghostface Killah
[Esoteric]
I spit verses, perfect for burnin your back curvature
Certain it convert a good person into a murderer
Live in Hell's Kitchen and shittin upon the furniture
Sermons that I spit are forbidden, where's the interpreter?
Tell society, I attacked 'em ?? octli???
Like a sabretooth, breakin loose like a Fathelrahman Ai
My buck-fifty's worth every penny
My team'll put this gun and spleen in the Gulf Stream
The engineer said I'd better relax
before I kill you in the booth and leave you dead in your "tracks"
Put your head in the cracks
my agenda's takin out fake 5%ers like federal tax
Yo I hack phlegm and grab the mic by it's stem
To publically humiliate you like a bad friend
Everywhere we go it's like "Yo, that's them"
The mad men ballin out like the Pac-10
My ideology embodies thoughts at high velocities
My life is quite an odyssey
End careers with the pen but never write apologies
Trite psychologically
War, I declare it, Al-Jazeera wouldn't air it
"It's only right that I address this, case in fact.."
"It's only right.. it's only right.. it's only right"
{*two different samples overlap*}
"Watch where you're headin now.. watch where you go"
"Uh-huh!Uh-huh motherfucker uh-huh!Watch me Duke, watch me"
[Esoteric]
Yo, I'm crackin open domes, leavin broken bones, overthrown
With the vocal tone, rap Moses Malone
I'm deattachin my own skull so I can soak it in chrome
Then come back like I'm Destro's clone to take my throne
I'm well known, lyrically my skill is well shown
I'm deadly, and epidemically I'm full blown
To infect it, inject, you're lookin at the face of murder
Erasin words that have you lookin like your Mason Verger
Your name's unheard of
I'll break you like need to break a (?)
Pussy, I'm like a Willie Mays rookie
While you're a '93 Jody Reed, so slow your speed
Got motherfuckers fightin over weed
I cut up guys like butterfly knives
Should of died last, rhyme-wise I'm Jesus times fives
Quick to finalize my plans for your demise
Analyze this, you pitch I hit a line drive
"Watch me Duke, watch me" --> Ghostface Killah

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."

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
