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"
Lying here
With my arms above my head
Hungry for your love
Waiting to be flare
Your body speaks to mine
And I understood every word
Told me that you needed me
At least that's what I heard
I'm trying to hold on
But I don't know for how long...
Don't make me wait too long...
Oohh...
Love me, love me, love me, love me, love me, love me right
(Oohh...oohh...)
Breathe me, taste me, touch me, take me in your arms tonight
All I want to do is
Watch you watch me,
Feel you fill me up with pure delight
That makes it easier to love you
Love me, love me, love me, love me, love me, love me right, love me right...
Why don't you tell me what you want from me girl
Let me dive into your ocean
I can find your precious pearl (I can find your precious pearl)
As the moon evades our bedroom
And reveals the sweat on your back (on your back...yeah)
It increases my intensity to go there and never come back
I'm trying to hold on
To hold on
But I don't know for how...long...
Yeah...
Love me, love me, love me, love me, love me, love me right (come on)
Breathe me, taste me, touch me (touch me baby),
Take me in your arms tonight
All I want to do is
Watch you watch me,
Feel you fill me up with pure delight (fill me up with pure delight)
That makes it easier to love you
Love me, love me, love me, love me, love me, love me right, love me right...
Oh how you tease me
Driving me crazy
Want you to please me
So come on lady
(Oohh c'mon) That's enough tug
She takes a step back
See her getting excited
By the way I react
Moving in slow
I can smell her perfume (she smells so good)
She's moving closer still
I know my time's coming soon (oohh make it come)
Lady are you ready
Can't take it no more
Ooh I don't think you're ready
For all that I have
I'm trying to hold on
But I don't know for how long
C'mon girl, I need you, take me right now
Love me
Yeah...love me
Oohh...oohh...love me (baby)
Love me right now
Oohh...oohh...touch me...touch me...oohh
So...so easy (so easy)
I want to make you feel so good
Love me lady...love me right, oohh
(Right now) Can I love you now...can I love you now...oohhh
Take me in your arms tonight (take me in your...)
(Can I taste you, can I touch you, can I feel it baby)
Fill me up with pure delight (that's what I talked about)
Oohh I want you...so real...
(I want you so bad) Lady won't you love me now
I want your body now, I want your body now, I want your body, I want your body...
Love me lady love me now
(Oohhh...oohhh...)
Take me in your arms tonight (slow down...it's OK baby)
Fill me up with pure delight (alright...fill...fill me up with, fill me up with your love)
Lady won't you love me now
La la la la la la la la la la la laaaa...

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."

“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
Page

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.
