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"
i spy with my lizard eye and everything i see is a lie you know when i told you i would never lie well, that was the first time take all the pleasures that you seek may my heart be full and still be bleak cold and alone, hard as stone like a fuck when there is no one home beauty and fame are meaningless beside the ability to kill with a look of your eye but i defy you to see through me nothing is all that you will see cats, sex and nazis that's why they call me mr. happy are you a believer ? - well i'm a deceiver but i lied when i said that honesty was dead i really belive all the things i say to you it's just that none of them are true zombies eat human flesh which part do you like the best ? i like the heart the best zombies eat human flesh if i haven't done all that i could do to hurt you it's because my love is true or because my feelings are a lie and we live just to suffer and die i'll put a guarantee on all the beauty that i see the fairest, the best, the first of the blest all those whose souls are the ugliest hopelessly lost in their bitterness love me and you shall be free to join my eternal captivity just don't ask me if i believ all this bull my head is empty but my bowels are full i don't really think this way i did yesterday, but not today cats, sex and nazis... zombies eat human flesh... i spy with my lizard eye and everything i say is a lie and what about you ? what will you do ? when the sound of my voice touches you when you hear me say, "this is true." and the sounds of my voice touches you this is true, this is true the sounds of my voice touches you this is true, this is true ! this is true, this is true ! cats, sex and nazis that's why they call me mr. happy why do i keep saying this over and over all the time ? because it rhymes, moron what do i want to hear now, a love song ? are you in love ? is it politically correct ? or are you just another fucking reject ? sre you getting all of this ? or is there something you have missed ? zombies eat human flesh... do you know why they call me mr. happy ? because i'm so fucking smart

Mountain Song

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.
