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"
It's dark in the day, and I'll say, "Now don't complain"
Look up the sun it's just a cloud away
You so afraid to cry, but your heart be feeling dry
It's time to change
But you keep thundering, thundering
I'm wondering, wondering why it keep thundering
Won't you just pray, and get it over with?
When I feel the pain, now baby I won't complain
I hear you say, "Look up the sun it's just a cloud away"
And I was so afraid to cry
And when you need a way to ride, that's the way
Keep thundering, thundering
I'm wondering, wondering why it keep thundering
Want you just fucking rain and get it over with?
And get it over with
I see you rolling it
Let's get it over with
Get high and float again
Roll up and go again
I see you rolling it
Let's get it over with
Get high and float again
Roll up and go again
It's alright we can roll in the clouds
Getting high we can float in the clouds
It's alright we can roll in the clouds
Getting high we can float in the clouds
It's alright we can roll in the clouds
Getting high we can float in the clouds
Keep thundering, thundering
I'm wondering wondering why you keep thundering
Won't you just fucking rain and get it over with?
And get it over with
And get it over with
It's alright we can roll in the clouds
Getting high we can float in the clouds
We should be lightning up
We should be lightning up
We should be lightning up
We started with lightning
It's dark in the day, and I'll say, "Now don't complain"
Look up the sun it's just a cloud away
Look up the sun it's just a cloud away
You so afraid to cry, but your heart be feeling dry
It's time to change
But you keep thundering, thundering
I'm wondering, wondering why it keep thundering
Won't you just pray, and get it over with?
When I feel the pain, now baby I won't complain
I hear you say, "Look up the sun it's just a cloud away"
And I was so afraid to cry
And when you need a way to ride, that's the way
Keep thundering, thundering
I'm wondering, wondering why it keep thundering
Want you just fucking rain and get it over with?
And get it over with
I see you rolling it
Let's get it over with
Get high and float again
Roll up and go again
I see you rolling it
Let's get it over with
Get high and float again
Roll up and go again
It's alright we can roll in the clouds
Getting high we can float in the clouds
It's alright we can roll in the clouds
Getting high we can float in the clouds
It's alright we can roll in the clouds
Getting high we can float in the clouds
Keep thundering, thundering
I'm wondering wondering why you keep thundering
Won't you just fucking rain and get it over with?
And get it over with
And get it over with
It's alright we can roll in the clouds
Getting high we can float in the clouds
We should be lightning up
We should be lightning up
We should be lightning up
We started with lightning
It's dark in the day, and I'll say, "Now don't complain"
Look up the sun it's just a cloud away

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 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."

for me this song is bout weed.. she is tired, bored, having a bad day or a bad moment in life.. she is talking ort telling to a friend/boyfriend or a ghost:) they should chill out, forget the bad things and just get high.. well this is more or less what Ive got from the lyrics...it could also be a methaper for anything else but in this case it´s rihanna and she is a proper smoker!
