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"
If you got scratch nigga, get the fuck up
Throw your hands up, if you hella fucked up
Einstein, tech n9ne, two triple zip
Crack a jaw, whip 'em all, if they wanna trip
Ladies with the bar codes, meet me after this
Maybe you can show me, the meaning of abyss
Everybody on the wall momma is a bzzz
Had her at the budgetel stroking on my dzzz
This ones for the psychos gang bangers and sluts
Bumbs holding the pipe those college graduate fucks
I feel for no foes I kill till I close my trap
I'm ill when I flow and you never doze when I rap
Tech tech gimme women and much alcohol and I'm straight
Eat drink and be merry yo come tomorrow might be your fate
Yo look look over there it's that nigga with the hair

If you dig tech when he's twisted
Then go get this bringing the house down
When I rip shit like the plates shifted
Angels come in many shades either drunk or lifted
The einstein meaning gifted too slick to get with
Two years ago my shit was broke but now I fixed it with the quickness
You missed it when I used to roll with misfits and nitwits
But now who I do biz with ain't none of yo business
Blood thirst in the church now the earth's the worst
Clutch your pursewhen we lurk cause we cursed from work
Trying to party like a mutha fucka broke as a joke
Don't hire me but you arrest me when I'm selling my dope
So who's the einsteinin n9ne n9ne tech n9ne
I'm crime mindin my prime rhyme time
I'm mixing one fifty-one with malibu rum
And pineapple juice among all my angels and wicked ones
We be the party people night and day
Living crazy is the only way (wha?)

Taking everything and we're leaving nothing left
Demons gotta die have 'em breathing last breaths
I feel that I got will and I'm gon bill till I'm killed
Bell till I bail if I fail then I'm gon steal what I will
Tech is a realist running with killas you better vill this be the witness
To the coldest when I hold this dick they break camp when I flow this

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."
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

Favorite Song. Tech is the illest rapper alive. Anyone see him while he was on tour with Kottonmouth Kings and Hed PE? BEAST MODE
Tech
s criminal genius is comparable to physicist Albert Einsteins. Hard Core.
