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"
Now I'm just wondering
Why you think that you can get to me with anything
Seems like you'd know by now
When and how I get down
And with all that I've been through
I'm still around
Don't you ever make no mistake
Baby, I've got what it takes
And there's no way you'll ever get to me (come on)
Why can't you see that you'll never ever hurt me?
'Cause I won't let it be, see I'm too much for you baby
You can't believe it, you can't conceive it
And you can't touch me, 'cause I'm untouchable
And I know you hate it, and you can't take it
You'll never break me, 'cause I'm unbreakable
Now you can't stop me even thought you think
That if you block me, you've done your thing
And when you bury me underneath all your pain
I'm steady laughing, while surfacing
Don't you ever make no mistake
Baby I've got what it takes (yeah)
And there's no way you'll ever get to me
Why can't you see that you'll never ever hurt me?
'Cause I won't let it be, see I'm too much for you baby (I'm too much for you baby)
You can't believe it, you can't conceive it
And you can't touch me, 'cause I'm untouchable
And I know you hate it, and you can't take it
You'll never break me, 'cause I'm unbreakable (you can't break me)
You can't believe it, you can't conceive it
And you can't touch me, 'cause I'm untouchable (you can't touch me)
And I know you hate it, and you can't take it (yeah)
You'll never break me
You can't let it break, 'cause I'm unbreakable
You can try to stop me, but it won't do a thing
No matter what you do, I'm still gonna be here
Through all your lies and silly games
I'ma still remain the same, I'm (uh) unbreakable (uh, what? uh)
A lime to a lemon, my D.C. women
Bringing in 10 G minimums to condos with elevators in 'em
Vehicles with televisions in 'em
Watch they entourage turn yours to just mirages
Disappearing acts, strictly .9's and MAC's
Killers be serial, Copperfield material
My dreams is vivid, work hard to live it
Any place I visit, I got land there
How can players stand there and say I sound like them? Hello?
Push wigs back and push six Coupes that's yellow
Plus clips that expand from hand to elbow
Spray up your Day's Inn, any telly you in
Crack bragging, sick of bragging how my mink be dragging
Desert Eag's, street sweeper inside the Beamer wagon
I rely on Bed-Stuy to shut it down if I die
Put that on my diamond bezel, you're messing with the devil
What
You can't believe it, you can't conceive it (yeah)
And you can't touch me, 'cause I'm untouchable (untouchable)
And I know you hate it, and you can't take it (yeah)
You'll never break me, 'cause I'm unbreakable (I'm unbreakable)
You can't believe it, you can't conceive it (you, you, you, you, you)
And you can't touch me, 'cause I'm untouchable
And I know you hate it, and you can't take it (woo)
You'll never break me, 'cause I'm unbreakable (I'm unbreakable)
You can't believe it, you can't conceive it
And you can't touch me, 'cause I'm untouchable
And I know you hate it, and you can't take it
You'll never break me
You can't touch me, you can't break me
You can't stand it, babe, 'cause I'm unbreakable (woo)
Gone

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/
"Now you can't stop me even thought you think that if you block me, you've done your thing and when you bury me underneath all your pain I'm steady laughin', while surfacing"
Very interesting lyric, in light of recent events....
I love this song and the whole invincible album. I agree with MJ. Nothing ever broke him. If he fell down, he would get right back up, and he would never trip again.
This is one of the best tracks on Invincible. I am suprised nobody has commented about it.
I love this song as well. I think it's totally awesome. Although I could do without the rap (why must he try to add rap to his recent music?). Obviuosly the lyrics are pretty self-explanatory, he's telling the world how he is unbreakable, no matter what they do to him. I love this line: "And when you bury me underneath all your pain, I´m steady laughin', while surfacing" Go Michael!
I love the rap its very fitting... he started adding rap verses on the dangerous album when rap was getting more popular, and he never stopped... lol he has raps on black or white, she drives me wild, i cant let her get away, jam, why you wanna trip on me, this time around, invincible and heartbreaker, well suited to all i think :)RIP MJ
