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"
Grandma�s got a Facebook, now she�s hitting on my friends.
Don�t care how it started, but now it�s got to end.
Help me stay connected to my uncles and my aunts,
But I also know she�s been in my best friend�s pants.
Grandma, Grandma (4x)
Gr-Gr-Grandma Grandma
Grandma, Grandma (3x)
Well, ever since grandpa passed away, she�s been chilling at home.
Watching soaps half the day �cause she�s feeling alone.
So, I set her up a Facebook and gave the address.
To my friends and I asked them all to send a request.
And no one would have guessed one day she�d go wild,
but grandma got obsessed and changed her profile to slutty McButtSex
And I was appalled when I saw a bunch of pictures of her cleavage on her wall.
Grandma�s got a Facebook, now she�s hitting on my friends.
Don�t care how it started, but now it�s got to end.
Help me stay connected to my uncles and my aunts,
But I also know she�s been in my best friend�s pants.
Grandma, Grandma (4x)
Gr-Gr-Grandma Grandma
Grandma, Grandma (3x)
Then she updated her status yeah, and it made me pissed
Cause she said her grandson was a crybaby bitch!
And all my stupid friends wrote her back and they laughed.
And they all liked her comment cause they�re wack and I�m mad.
Is this considered abuse, yeah you�d be pissed at her too
Cause now her list to do�s is just pictures of dudes.
I wanted her to make friends but she�s about to seduce.
My homeboys with a mixture of vodka and prune juice.
Grandma�s got a Facebook, now she�s hitting on my friends.
Don�t care how it started, but now it�s got to end.
Help me stay connected to my uncles and my aunts,
But I also know she�s been in my best friend�s pants.

I checked my Facebook daily.
I get a friend request from this old ass lady.
I know it�s your grandma, but I ain�t gonna lie.
She�s rocking that muu muu, and looking all fly.
I want to smack your grandma on her wrinkly ass
Wrinkly ass, wrinkly ass!
I want to smack your grandma on her wrinkly ass
Wrinkly ass, wrinkly ass!
Butterscotch my balls
Me and your grandma sharing a sponge bath
I want to put my hands in your grandma�s candy dish.
Grandma�s got a Facebook, now she�s hitting on my friends.
Don�t care how it started, but now it�s got to end.
Help me stay connected to my uncles and my aunts,
But I also know she�s been in my best friend�s pants.

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
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."

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
