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"
Well, here we go again, get up
A little something for your ear hole, get up
Tearing a part of my soul again, get up
Disturbed in the house, we're droppin' plates
You said it couldn't be done
Told me that it's the kind of battle that just couldn't be won, you know
"You're too sick, too hard, too fucked in the head
You'll never make it, no, not in this lifetime"
Well, guess again, my friend, don't act surprised
We got the bass, drum, kick that will blow out your eyes, huh
'Cause when you hear this shit, you'll get to steppin'
Gonna fight the war and use my music as a weapon
You know I'm talkin' 'bout (recognition)
You know I'm talkin' 'bout (vindication)
Another goddamn slap in the face
Don't wanna give us a place, are you afraid?
Well, fear this, 'cause I'm a-breakin' through the walls of your nightmare
Wake up, time to die
The way I'm livin', there is no compromising it
Better get ready for another surprise, and it
May leave a mark, because I'm a-coming in fast
Planting thoughts in your mind and a-droppin' plates on your ass
Well, here I come, I'm droppin' plates on your ass, bitch
You never mind and you don't need this
Said, here I come, I'm droppin' plates on your ass, bitch
You never mind and you don't need
Well, on your mark, here we go again (hey, yeah, yeah)
Well, never mind, 'cause you're not number one (oh, yeah, yeah)
You're too hard and from the other side (hey, yeah, yeah)
I think it's time to bring it home again (right to me)
Well, on your mark, here we go again (hey, yeah, yeah)
Well, never mind, 'cause you're not number one (oh, yeah, yeah)
You're too hard and from the other side (hey, yeah, yeah)
I think it's time to bring it home again (right to me)
You know I'm talkin' 'bout (recognition)
You know I'm talkin' 'bout (vindication)
Here I come, I'm droppin' plates on your ass
Well, here I come, I'm droppin' plates on your ass
Said, here I come, I'm droppin' plates on your ass
Now, here I come, I'm droppin' plates on your ass
Plates on your ass, bitch, plates on your ass
Well, here I come, I'm droppin' plates, I'm droppin' plates
Plates on your ass, bitch, plates on your ass
Here I come, I'm droppin' plates, and I'm droppin' plates, and it
Well, on your mark now, here we go again, I'm droppin' plates
I use my music, my weapon, I'm droppin' plates
Break through the walls of your nightmare, I'm droppin' plates
Well, here we go, we're droppin' plates
A little something for your ear hole, get up
Tearing a part of my soul again, get up
Disturbed in the house, we're droppin' plates
You said it couldn't be done
Told me that it's the kind of battle that just couldn't be won, you know
"You're too sick, too hard, too fucked in the head
You'll never make it, no, not in this lifetime"

Break through the walls of your nightmare, I'm droppin' plates
Well, here we go, we're droppin' plates

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."

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.
This song is about rock music and how it is gonna "drop plates" on all of those stupid pop groups. Its about bringing the recognition and credit back to where it belongs-GOOD MUSIC-------LH
