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"

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."

These lyrics are very insightful and inspiring.
i think this song is about having sex with asian girls!!! and has a real simon & garfunkel meets William Orbit feel to it, with a great melocholic thread happening to it!!! BEST SONG EVA!!! IN MY FAMILY OF 5 BROTHERS AND 9 SISTERS WE REFER TO THIS BAND AS OL' YELLA
It's the song that made duffman great!
Duffman can't breathe, oooh yeah!!

This song is about admiring how beautiful the moon is. But this song is also about admiring how the sun is even more beautiful. and the singer wants to show you that they acknowledge that these two astral bodies are beautiful by saying Oh yeah. It would appear that this band measures the beauty of astrological objects by their size and brightness. You could probably infer that with the empirical data gathered from this song that the earth is more beautiful than the moon, but it is not as beautiful as the sun.
how the hell did u get asian girls, i think u out of ur mind
pshhh... the moon is white (white girls)and the sun is yellow (asian girls)
i get asian girls with asian cooking BOB yummy!
This song is played at the end of Ferris Bueller's Day Off.
It was also used in Butterfinger commercials, so most people who grew up in the 90s probably think of Butterfingers when they hear this song. lol
OHHH YEAAAH LOVE THIS SONG CHIC CHICA CHICAAAAAAAA
