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"
Dead of the night we go into the world unknown
Just let us go
I Know that I'm breathing slow, inhaling smoke I just awoke
A Bottle Of pills I'm choking down with dancing demons all around
But I'm hearing sounds, and I know I'm hearing voices now
With all the build they scratch you down, it's Armageddon again
I drink the poison from the crown and make a toast to the end
For all the kids and all the ones who need the sun
Who have just begun to feel the pain
Cause they have close the stairway
I See the trees burn every time I fall a sleep
I lessen all my standards
We can't hide from birds that speak
That speaks inside of me
I saw you walking into a room
I saw a face I thought I knew
And all along it was true, it was me
It wasn't You
I asked myself if it was the truth, A guilty isn't proof
A finger print well what's that do
Cause gasoline can burn that to
So hide your knives and save yourself
It's just you there's no one else
Will I change, the time will tell
I can not dream what is this HELL
So maybe I should stop this time, And draw the line
And see the light
But it's to late I can't this time
I lost my mind to save the night
I See the trees burn every time I fall a sleep
I lessen all my standards
We can't hide from birds that speak
That speaks inside of me
If I lay my head down would you admire
The I can close my eyes
And I have put my conscious for the choir
Who's to judge
Who's insane
Watch it all wash away
Save us trouble what we lived it
It doesn't die it only fades
If can't feel there isn't pain
Another day it's all the same
I always pray I never change
It seems to me we 're all to blame
Push your matches, Feel the rain
Burn This Fucking World the Same
I See the trees burn every time I fall a sleep
I lessen all my standards
We can't hide from birds that speak
That speaks inside of me
I See the trees burn every time I fall a sleep
I lessen all my standards
We can't hide from birds that speak
That speaks inside of me
Just let us go
I Know that I'm breathing slow, inhaling smoke I just awoke
A Bottle Of pills I'm choking down with dancing demons all around
But I'm hearing sounds, and I know I'm hearing voices now
With all the build they scratch you down, it's Armageddon again
I drink the poison from the crown and make a toast to the end
For all the kids and all the ones who need the sun
Who have just begun to feel the pain
Cause they have close the stairway
I See the trees burn every time I fall a sleep
I lessen all my standards
We can't hide from birds that speak
That speaks inside of me
I saw you walking into a room
I saw a face I thought I knew
And all along it was true, it was me
It wasn't You
I asked myself if it was the truth, A guilty isn't proof
A finger print well what's that do
Cause gasoline can burn that to
So hide your knives and save yourself
It's just you there's no one else
Will I change, the time will tell
I can not dream what is this HELL
So maybe I should stop this time, And draw the line
And see the light
But it's to late I can't this time
I lost my mind to save the night
I See the trees burn every time I fall a sleep
I lessen all my standards
We can't hide from birds that speak
That speaks inside of me
If I lay my head down would you admire
The I can close my eyes
And I have put my conscious for the choir
Who's to judge
Who's insane
Watch it all wash away
Save us trouble what we lived it
It doesn't die it only fades
If can't feel there isn't pain
Another day it's all the same
I always pray I never change
It seems to me we 're all to blame
Push your matches, Feel the rain
Burn This Fucking World the Same
I See the trees burn every time I fall a sleep
I lessen all my standards
We can't hide from birds that speak
That speaks inside of me
I See the trees burn every time I fall a sleep
I lessen all my standards
We can't hide from birds that speak
That speaks inside of me

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”

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
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.
The Lyrics are kinda messed up through this whole song, these are the correct lyrics.
J-Dog] Dead of the night we go into the world unknown Just let us go I Know that I'm breathin slow, inhaling smoke I just awoke A Bottle Of pills I'm chokin down with dancing demons all around But I'm hearin sounds, and I know I'm hearin voices now With all the buildings crashing down, it's Armageddon again I drink the poison from the ground and make a toast to the end For all the kids and all the ones and even some who just begun to feel the pain Cause they can’t stand to stay awake

[J3T] Who's to judge Who's insane Watch it all wash away Save us from what we’ve made It doesn't die it only fades If can't feel there isn't pain Another day it's all the same I always pray I never change It seems to me we're all to blame Push your matches, Feel the rain Burn this fucking world in flames
[Danny] I See the trees burn every time I fall a sleep I’m losing all my sanity I can't hide from the voice That speaks inside of me
This song is called "Street Dreams." Not "Tree Dreams."<br /> It's "I see the STREETS burn every time I fall asleep."<br /> Get it right, smart one.
Judgement Day maybe?
No, no, no, no. lyrics are all wrong
