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 half past ten, no sign of cops the barrels going strong
Three more beers I'm sure'll make me feel like I belong
And everyone here reminds there's no point in going home
And everything there reminds me that I'm still alone
You got your secrets reasons why you said it's over
That was my ticket to never again be really sober
I'm so divided holding on while cursing you
But unlike you right now I got nothing to prove
The radio plays our favorite song it's what keeps me holding on
Baby do you miss me now that I'm gone
Do you miss me
I remember the day that you told me you wanted to find another man
Now I hear you cry every time we play Arizona Stand
Now I'm standing here with 50 of my friends and a keg of Killians
And you're at home with your Ani Difranco tapes again
Three more beers I'm sure'll make me feel like I belong
And everyone here reminds there's no point in going home
And everything there reminds me that I'm still alone
You got your secrets reasons why you said it's over
That was my ticket to never again be really sober
I'm so divided holding on while cursing you
But unlike you right now I got nothing to prove
The radio plays our favorite song it's what keeps me holding on
Baby do you miss me now that I'm gone
Do you miss me
I remember the day that you told me you wanted to find another man
Now I hear you cry every time we play Arizona Stand
Now I'm standing here with 50 of my friends and a keg of Killians
And you're at home with your Ani Difranco tapes again

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."

Magical

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
i like this song...yah
This is one of my favorite LBC songs...it's so damn catchy! It's also a great post-breakup song. I love this part: I'm so divided, holding on while cursing you, but unlike you right now I've got nothing to prove.
umm, what happened to the first verse? Why is it at the end?
I love this song....'radio plays our favourite song its what keeps me holdin on, baby do u miss me now that im gone' what a catchy line, it has me singin along....lol ;)
Hi my name is Tamika, and I just wanna say I have faith in y'all....y'all gonna blow up like N'SYNC.
i first heard this song because of the ani difranco reference. my friend loved lbc and knew i loved ani and had me listen to this song. now i'm hooked. lbc is amazing.
Just so everyone knows, the lyrics to the chorus are from a song by Jocelyn Enriquez. The verses are pure LBC, though. Easily one of the most under-rated bands of all time.
lol @ fauldeutschkind264! funny stuff.
Yea, so..where's the rest of the song?
Anyway, love this song, the beginning is really funny. Obviously about how a guy thinks about his ex all the time when he hears "their song", and he's wondering if she misses him too.
Lyrics are wrong.
Should be "Everything Debra reminds me that I'm still alone."
