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"
Dicen que no debo ilusionarme
que tu amor no esta a mi alcance
que haré mucho que perdí
Ríen cuando digo convencido
que vas a volver conmigo
y que voy a ser feliz
Juran que ya rayo en la locura
y es que me han visto por ahí hablando solo
Pueden decir lo que quieran de mi amor por ti
encerrarme para siempre entre cuatro paredes y un techo
Pueden jurar que en tu nueva vida no hay lugar
para el hombre que te supo dar los momentos mas bellos
Pueden hacer lo que quieran con mi corazón
arrancarlo de mi pecho y no, nunca voy a negarte
Pueden pasar cuatro siglos y una eternidad
y yo seguiré en mi soledad cada día esperándote
Pueden hacer lo que quieran conmigo
y yo nunca, nunca, nunca voy a olvidarte
Que tu amor no esta a mi alcance
que no debo ilusionarme eso dicen
(digan lo que digan, pero no me pidan que te olvide)
que te borre de mi mente para siempre
lo saben que es imposible
(digan lo que digan, pero no me pidan que te olvide)
que no vivo en tu recuerdo
que tu amor por mi no existe
(digan lo que digan )
pero no me digan, ni me pidan que te olvide
(Pueden decir lo que quieran)
que estoy medio loco, que he perdido la razón
(Pueden decir lo que quieran)
que no hay espacio para mi en tu corazón
(Pueden decir lo que quieran)
que estoy aferrado a una ilusión, a una quimera
(Pueden decir lo que quieran)
que de alguna manera yo puedo ser feliz
(Pueden decir lo que quieran)
que no te puedo olvidar también lo pueden decir
que tu amor no esta a mi alcance
que haré mucho que perdí
Ríen cuando digo convencido
que vas a volver conmigo
y que voy a ser feliz
Juran que ya rayo en la locura
y es que me han visto por ahí hablando solo
Pueden decir lo que quieran de mi amor por ti
encerrarme para siempre entre cuatro paredes y un techo
Pueden jurar que en tu nueva vida no hay lugar
para el hombre que te supo dar los momentos mas bellos
Pueden hacer lo que quieran con mi corazón
arrancarlo de mi pecho y no, nunca voy a negarte
Pueden pasar cuatro siglos y una eternidad
y yo seguiré en mi soledad cada día esperándote
Pueden hacer lo que quieran conmigo
y yo nunca, nunca, nunca voy a olvidarte
Que tu amor no esta a mi alcance
que no debo ilusionarme eso dicen
(digan lo que digan, pero no me pidan que te olvide)
que te borre de mi mente para siempre
lo saben que es imposible
(digan lo que digan, pero no me pidan que te olvide)
que no vivo en tu recuerdo
que tu amor por mi no existe
(digan lo que digan )
pero no me digan, ni me pidan que te olvide
(Pueden decir lo que quieran)
que estoy medio loco, que he perdido la razón
(Pueden decir lo que quieran)
que no hay espacio para mi en tu corazón
(Pueden decir lo que quieran)
que estoy aferrado a una ilusión, a una quimera
(Pueden decir lo que quieran)
que de alguna manera yo puedo ser feliz
(Pueden decir lo que quieran)
que no te puedo olvidar también lo pueden decir

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."
