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"
All I want to do is love you
I just want to take you there
Baby, I don't want to argue
Don't even want to fight
I just want to love you
And hold you all the night
The message from the party
Nothing to do with how
Try to keep it happy
Then depress yourself to cry
All I want to do is love you
We've got to move on up
We've got to move on up
All I want to do is love you
(Oh oh oh, hey, hey, hey)
I just want to take you there, yeah
(Hey, hey, hey)
The world is trying to make us
Go against our own will
There's too many mountains
Grown up from a hill
Just take nothing less
Than the second best
"Do not obey"
What most people say
'Cause you can pass the test
All I want to do is love you
Baby, we've got to move on up
We've got to move on up
All I want to do is love you
(Oh oh oh)
I just want to take you there
(Yeah yeah, yeah yeah)
All I want to do is love you
(Oh oh oh, hey, hey, hey)
It feels like I'm already there
(Yeah yeah, yeah yeah)
The world is trying to make us
Go against our own will
It's early in our language
Of how the human feels
I just want to love you
I just want to cry
I just want to love you
I just want, I just want
I just want to love you
I just want to cry
I just want to love you
(Hey, hey)
All I want to do is love you
(Oh oh oh, hey, hey, hey)
It feels like I'm already there
(Yeah yeah, yeah yeah)

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."
