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"
When ya get knocked back it's hard to proceed
Gotta avoid depression, I just smoke weed
Earned a degree summer '16
Think I lost all interest
Ready for new ventures
Harder than ever, come back even better
Mama still need a benz
Think I look fly in Giuseppe's
I take my mishaps put them in raps and hope for gold
Fuck Love it ain't no good but if I relapse
Lo and behold
Two cups one bottle I need the juice
Two cups one model broad both fit in coupes
Uh
Perhaps I'm destined to be alone
Get filthy rich and hope for a Nia Long
In Love Jones
I've loved wrong
This new wave of women worse
Aiming for what's out of reach
Social media curse
Standards limited to the facade they put on
Oh my God Devil in a red dress
Still I bone
Heard It be lonely at the top lord
I'm a introvert granted that's the spot for me
Keep these bitches off my jock lord
Fuck love yes cause that's just not for me
Lonely, lonely, lonely
Shout out ms Lisa for keeping a nigga steady
Yea
I need a beeper I'm really over the celly
Yea
So Nonchalant
There's Really nothing you can tell me
Been Had a mind of my own
I'm out here minding my own
Keep my mind in a zone
Protecting my peace
Rare breed so it seems
They don't know how to take me
Either we're fuckin or we're fuckin up a check together
You choose
Too focused on who I'm texting
The message probably say You lose
No new niggas no new crews
I'm good where I'm at
My niggas ain't bout no drama too busy chasing a check
Demanding respect
Chasing dreams stack and invest
Pack to protect
Never know who after your neck
Big you up like a peon
But hate like a bitch
Swear they're soft like charm in
Nigga tough as a stick
See me?
I ain't looking for no trouble I swear
Ima lover not a fighter
Sit the chrome on the Bible
Peace be still
Gotta avoid depression, I just smoke weed
Earned a degree summer '16
Think I lost all interest
Ready for new ventures
Harder than ever, come back even better
Mama still need a benz
Think I look fly in Giuseppe's
I take my mishaps put them in raps and hope for gold
Fuck Love it ain't no good but if I relapse
Lo and behold
Two cups one bottle I need the juice
Two cups one model broad both fit in coupes
Uh
Perhaps I'm destined to be alone
Get filthy rich and hope for a Nia Long
In Love Jones
I've loved wrong
This new wave of women worse
Aiming for what's out of reach
Social media curse
Standards limited to the facade they put on
Oh my God Devil in a red dress
Still I bone
Heard It be lonely at the top lord
I'm a introvert granted that's the spot for me
Keep these bitches off my jock lord
Fuck love yes cause that's just not for me
Lonely, lonely, lonely
Shout out ms Lisa for keeping a nigga steady
Yea
I need a beeper I'm really over the celly
Yea
So Nonchalant
There's Really nothing you can tell me
Been Had a mind of my own
I'm out here minding my own
Keep my mind in a zone
Protecting my peace
Rare breed so it seems
They don't know how to take me

Ima lover not a fighter
Sit the chrome on the Bible
Peace be still

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
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."

“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
