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"
O Yeah,
I’m brand new like you haven’t unwrapped it
Head over heals got bloggers doin back flips
Am where I am cause my fans and some practice
I could go for 90, bet the kid is match fit
Girls on my page writing Sammy is a bastard
Thinking that they special but got treated like the last chick
Knowing that my fan base stretches like elastic
Jaw droppin beats like its better than the last shit
But still, I’m in the paint by the basket
This that one take new flow straight classic
Yeah I see the true shining bright if you look close
Rappers dropping names forgot to add the foot notes
In all honesty hatings not a part of me
Respect’s in my blood I don’t need a bibliography
I show love cause that’s what I’ve always dug
If ya ass ain’t got a shovel get the fuck out of the mud
It’s sandbox I’m Smalls first time on the Sandlot
Tryin to learn the rules maybe get myself a damn shot
Yeah, I’m hittin veins you could have never drawn
Pumpin blood no rubber bands around the arm
But lookin back when I started as a critics young
To makin hits with a grin as the crowd applause, pause
I’m diggin deeper with my gritty paws
Tryin to get it poppin with a presence no Santa Claus
Yeah, and I’m the spitter who defy’s the laws,
Bringing the heat I’m unexpected like some menopause
Ha, I never thought that one of my songs,
Would spread quick on a thousand different iPods
Yeah, I’m human and I got benign flows
Rappin with the competition chillin up in my jaws
Thinking in my mind how to write my wrongs
Tying all this change into ends that defy laws
Cut it out I wasn’t talking bout the beat though
I’m here to make em get the point like a free throw
Tell my girl to please recline my seat slow
Knowing that I’m colder than the bottom of a ski pole
And if it’s snowing in the city I’m getting blown
With a couple bitches down to ride where he goes
Late night in the Jacuzzi with the same hoes
Catchin’ brains puffin on them Monte Christos
Uhhh I’m back on my spittah shit
Back, ba-back, back on my spittah shit
Yeah, you know I'm back on my spittah shit
Back, ba-back, back on my spittah shit
I’m brand new like you haven’t unwrapped it
Head over heals got bloggers doin back flips
Am where I am cause my fans and some practice
I could go for 90, bet the kid is match fit
Girls on my page writing Sammy is a bastard
Thinking that they special but got treated like the last chick
Knowing that my fan base stretches like elastic
Jaw droppin beats like its better than the last shit
But still, I’m in the paint by the basket
This that one take new flow straight classic
Yeah I see the true shining bright if you look close
Rappers dropping names forgot to add the foot notes
In all honesty hatings not a part of me
Respect’s in my blood I don’t need a bibliography
I show love cause that’s what I’ve always dug
If ya ass ain’t got a shovel get the fuck out of the mud
It’s sandbox I’m Smalls first time on the Sandlot
Tryin to learn the rules maybe get myself a damn shot
Yeah, I’m hittin veins you could have never drawn
Pumpin blood no rubber bands around the arm
But lookin back when I started as a critics young
To makin hits with a grin as the crowd applause, pause
I’m diggin deeper with my gritty paws
Tryin to get it poppin with a presence no Santa Claus
Yeah, and I’m the spitter who defy’s the laws,
Bringing the heat I’m unexpected like some menopause
Ha, I never thought that one of my songs,
Would spread quick on a thousand different iPods
Yeah, I’m human and I got benign flows
Rappin with the competition chillin up in my jaws

Back, ba-back, back on my spittah shit
Yeah, you know I'm back on my spittah shit
Back, ba-back, back on my spittah shit

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.
