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"
Feel me a home
To crawl inside of you
And lay this heart, unsure
I'm sick of your sores
Yeah, but I'll always stay sitting
I'll go
I'm yours, yeah
And I'm your whore
Please leave me a taste
The fire, pleasure from my concern
But I'm a little late
I'm sick of your quirks, yeah
Because I'll always be my own, I . . .
I deserve a
A lollipop whore
Yeah, lollipop whore
A whore
(Haha, oh yeah, ah)
You're all I wanted
You'll always be true to me
You're all I ever wanted
Run, days of more
But I could complete it, yeah
I could come down
Yeah, well, what if I would spare?
Could circles count down?
But I could complete it, yeah
I could come down
She screamed more, loud, give me some more, yeah
The terrible silence is leading to injuries and sores
So what could you do?
She screamed love is such a strong word
I said what if we took a word
Deciphered the innocence
And, well, um, fucked
Say what could you do
She screamed more, loud, give me some more, yeah
The terrible silence is leading to injuries and sores
Say what I could do for you
And I tie my whore
Leading to something terrible
I scare myself, even now
What if we take away?
What if I take away?
Me and my whore
I scare myself
But I'm not ready to fuck her
Fuck her, fuck her, just to fuck her
I just can't think anyways
So give me my pussy you whore
(I'm standing here, I'm waiting)
When in doubt, oh
When in doubt, oh
When in doubt, just get down on your knees and suck me
When in doubt, oh
When in doubt, oh
When in doubt, just get down on your knees and suck
(And I fool no one even more)
And I tie my whore
Leading to something terrible
I scare myself (come on, you whore)
What if we take away
What if I take away
Me and my lifeless whore
I scare myself
I scare myself
To crawl inside of you
And lay this heart, unsure
I'm sick of your sores
Yeah, but I'll always stay sitting
I'll go
I'm yours, yeah
And I'm your whore
Please leave me a taste
The fire, pleasure from my concern
But I'm a little late
I'm sick of your quirks, yeah
Because I'll always be my own, I . . .
I deserve a
A lollipop whore
Yeah, lollipop whore
A whore
(Haha, oh yeah, ah)
You're all I wanted
You'll always be true to me
You're all I ever wanted
Run, days of more
But I could complete it, yeah
I could come down
Yeah, well, what if I would spare?
Could circles count down?
But I could complete it, yeah
I could come down
She screamed more, loud, give me some more, yeah
The terrible silence is leading to injuries and sores
So what could you do?
She screamed love is such a strong word
I said what if we took a word
Deciphered the innocence
And, well, um, fucked
Say what could you do
She screamed more, loud, give me some more, yeah
The terrible silence is leading to injuries and sores
Say what I could do for you
And I tie my whore
Leading to something terrible
I scare myself, even now
What if we take away?
What if I take away?
Me and my whore
I scare myself
But I'm not ready to fuck her
Fuck her, fuck her, just to fuck her

So give me my pussy you whore
(I'm standing here, I'm waiting)
When in doubt, oh
When in doubt, oh
When in doubt, just get down on your knees and suck me
When in doubt, oh
When in doubt, oh
When in doubt, just get down on your knees and suck
(And I fool no one even more)
And I tie my whore
Leading to something terrible
I scare myself (come on, you whore)
What if we take away
What if I take away
Me and my lifeless whore
I scare myself
I scare myself

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
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."

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.
