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"
Tear the club up, nigga, tear the club up
Tear the club up, nigga, tear the club up
Tear the club up, nigga, tear the club up
Tear the club up, nigga, tear the club up
Tear the club up, nigga, tear the club up
Tear the club up, nigga, tear the club up
Tear the club up, nigga, tear the club up
Tear the club up, nigga, tear the club up
Tear the club up, nigga, tear the club up
Tear the club up, nigga, tear the club up
Tear the club up, nigga, tear the club up
Tear the club up, nigga, tear the club up
This for all the playa haters who be talkin' that shit
The Three 6 show no love, we quick to murder a trick
You could be a friend or foe, kinda down or not
I'm rollin' with tha fool Crunchy and we got them Glocks
Backed up by the .45 and the .38
You want to take this click to war? Fool, it'll be a mistake
Chris bring the Mossberg with the slugs and shit
We got some graves for ya body already dug and shit
Infamous grab the Cali with a hundred rounds
Koopsta, load the Tech and blow dem bastards down
Juice wit' the two 9's like the nigga name Shae
On the move, we shoot 'em up so slow they feel the pain
I thought you knew that I'm from Memphis where the shit is so thick
When at the club, we got so buck, we try to tear up some shit
Gangsta Boo the gangsta bitch wit' the .357
Our main goal in life is an opposite Heaven, Triple 6, bitch
Tear the club up, nigga, tear the club up
Tear the club up, nigga, tear the club up
Tear the club up, nigga, tear the club up
Tear the club up, nigga, tear the club up
Tear the club up, nigga, tear the club up
Tear the club up, nigga, tear the club up
Tear the club up, nigga, tear the club up
Tear the club up, nigga, tear the club up
Deadly
We should begin to come close to the killa dimensions
Niggas getting lynchings from the Triple 6 anti-Christians
May I mention
The slizzugs that I blaze, Scarecrow's unmerciful
Bullets that bombin' the enemy
Nigga, see death is unreversable
Hardness is your fantasy, death is not fictional, you bitches
Fuck around and find your wannabe gangsta ass with the mortician
Executioner style, buck in yo' head while you beg on your knees, uh
Plenty of bustas been put in the morgue
And they chillin' down in the cold freezers
Teflon penetratin' and the penalty is deadly punishment
Then me and my Triple 6 we go and blow an ounce of blue hair trick
I could give a fuck less, bitch, I'm glad that you dead and gone
Three 6 Mafia, sign our names on niggas fuckin' tombstones
Memphis is the fuckin' city where Lord Infamous loves to bail
And just like I said before, bitch, come with me to Hell
Everybody in this house, you niggas know what's up
Lemme see, can all you motherfuckas tear this club up?
Tear the club up, nigga, tear the club up
Tear the club up, nigga, tear the club up
Tear the club up, nigga, tear the club up
Tear the club up, nigga, tear the club up
Tear the club up, nigga, tear the club up
Tear the club up, nigga, tear the club up
Tear the club up, nigga, tear the club up
Tear the club up, nigga, tear the club up
Tear the club up, nigga, tear the club up
All these playa haters in the club got us fucked up, yes
I'm the nigga with them two 9's ready to blast
When I pull 'em out, you motherfuckas better haul ass
Paul thowin' chairs in tha air, Koopsta loccin' up
Fly takin' cash from yo' ass, Mr. Stick 'Em Up
Fuck the damn security, fuck a motherfuckin' cop
If they kick me out the club, I'll buck 'em in tha parkin' lot
Grab the club owner, put the rich bitch in the trunk
Take 'em out and take his money then I spit on the punk
Now I'm crunk, breakin' bottles up against the fuckin' wall
Shootin' tones at them fools 'til them jealous bustas fall
Fuck these niggas testin' pimpin', we gon' burry all you hoes
Slicin' bitches right in half, stompin' 'em straight through the floor
Niggas talkin plenty shit but they ain't buck enough
We gon' get some dynamite and blow this motherfucka up
Tear the club up, nigga, tear the club up
Tear the club up, nigga, tear the club up
Tear the club up, nigga, tear the club up
Tear the club up, nigga, tear the club up
Tear the club up, nigga, tear the club up

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”
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."
