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"
This is my church
This is where I heal my hurts
It's in natural grace
Or watching young life shape
It's in minor keys
Solutions and remedies
Enemies becoming friends
When bitterness ends
This is my church
This is my church
This is my church
This is my church
This is where I heal my hurts
It's in the world I've become
Contained in the hum
Between voice and drum
It's in the change
The poetic justice of cause and effect
Respect, love, compassion
This is my church
This is where I heal my hurts
For tonight
God is a DJ
For tonight
God is a DJ
This is my church
This is where I heal my hurts
It's in natural grace
Or watching young life shape
It's in minor keys
Solutions and remedies
Enemies becoming friends
When bitterness ends
This is my church
This is my church
This is my church
This is my church
This is where I heal my hurts
It's in the world I've become
Contained in the hum
Between voice and drum
It's in the change
The poetic justice of cause and effect
Respect, love, compassion
This is my church
This is where I heal my hurts
For tonight
God is a DJ
For tonight
God is a DJ
This is my church

Hayalperest
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
Holiday

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
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."

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.
God Is The DJ

LIFE IS THE PARTY!!!
From Guatemala!
i always thought of raves as religious experiences: a mass congregation under one roof (sometimes), tapping into the collective consciousness, losing themselves in music, contacting a Higher Power.
a rave must be the only mass gathering of people (besides Church) that doesn't erupt in violence.
a good rave is my monthly dose of God...
@roger wilco 'This is my church'<br /> I agree. Week in, Week out, we gathered together, in groups of varying sizes, more strangers than not, and we celebrated en masse using the music to carry us away - and many of us some chemical assistance too - subsumed in the mob of happy, carefree, caring people, part of something bigger than ourselves, joined in a togetherness by our sharing of the experience. Clever DJs would turn their sets into a magical journey where they were the conductors of the crowd using the music to take us up and down, hands up, heads down, rhythms of hooks, breaks, vocals, climbing and climbing to an unknown peak for the big drop... A togetherness of feeling, a sharing of souls connecting, of experiencing, of being.<br /> Everything you need from a religious celebration except the kiddy fiddling men in dresses.
You may think that is strange, but at rpg meetings there´s no violence either...strange isn´t it ?
I read somewhere that Maxi Jazz, lead singer and lyricist was known as the Grand Oral Disseminator, or GOD. Hence GOD is a DJ. Any thoughts?
I'm not really familiar with faithless or any of the songs really, but I heard this on SonicFreaks.com so I downloaded it... it's an awesome rave song but frankly, I don't like the one part of the song where it brings in that new beat. . . That's what made it become annoying....overall it's a pretty good song
@Chickenburger God is a DJ and Insomnia are Faithless's two biggest crowd pleasing rave favourites. The feeling of being part of a crowd, experiencing either of these was something immense
Lank cool keyboards. Cause and effect.
i pretty much agree with the 1st comment, i think tht maxi is claiming tht to him music is like a religion, christians congregate to pray nd preach to help them when theryre feelin low or in times of need nd for maxi nd many people this is the affect music has on them. Music can bring people together im personally never happier than wen im at a gig or festival nd i think they'res no better atmosphere than in a feild of thousands of happy danceing people so meterphorically god is a dj!
