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"
Fuck you, fuck you, fuck you, fuck you
D motherfuckin'' D, motherfuckin'' D
It's the D, it's the motherfuckin'' D
1, 2, 3, A, B, C, D
Here come the black nigga straight from the trees
KKK tried to hang me
Niggas tried to bang me, but it ain't no thang G
Pass me the J, and I roll me a buddah
School is the teacher and the motherfuckin'' tutor
Another hardcore motherfuckin'' on the run
Give me the mic before I key ya like a gun
I'ma kill me a Po, a pussy, and a faggot
'Cause up to my neck motherfuckers I've had it
If you wanna rhyme motherfucker wanna riddle
I'm in the front cold money in the middle
I don't care about your mainstream audience
All I care about is the rubbers and the 40 ounce
If you wanna come motherfucker then come
But I tell you now, you better bring a gun
Can't fuck with the flavor, fuck what they gave ya
Schooly D nigga, I came back to save ya
Lookin' at my Gucci, I tell you what it mean
Niggas on part side lickin that green
If you wanna rumble, if you wanna fight
I kick ass on Saturday night
Yes I'ma nigga, a straight up nigga
Schooly D nothin' but a part side nigga
Pass me a 40, roll me the cheeba
Niggas like me and you know that we need a
Hit it, quit it, I gotta get blasted
Some motherfuckers wanna call me a bastard
'Cause I'ma nigga smokin I'ma brotha
Plus I'm the motherfucker doin' yo mother
So if you wanna come motherfucker then come
But I tell ya now, ya better bring ya gun
No way bitch, Schooly never switch
I'd rather put your punk ass straight in a ditch
Grab me a gat, come correct
Snap necks, for text
Straight from the Bible, you know that I'm libel
Moses told us slaves to be free
But he didn't know about the motherfuckin'' D
So if you wanna come motherfucker then come
But I tell ya brother, ya better bring ya gun
D motherfuckin'' D, motherfuckin'' D
It's the D, it's the motherfuckin'' D
1, 2, 3, A, B, C, D
Here come the black nigga straight from the trees
KKK tried to hang me
Niggas tried to bang me, but it ain't no thang G
Pass me the J, and I roll me a buddah
School is the teacher and the motherfuckin'' tutor
Another hardcore motherfuckin'' on the run
Give me the mic before I key ya like a gun
I'ma kill me a Po, a pussy, and a faggot
'Cause up to my neck motherfuckers I've had it
If you wanna rhyme motherfucker wanna riddle
I'm in the front cold money in the middle
I don't care about your mainstream audience
All I care about is the rubbers and the 40 ounce
If you wanna come motherfucker then come
But I tell you now, you better bring a gun
Can't fuck with the flavor, fuck what they gave ya

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."
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
