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"
The fire dies on its own, leaving us to ourselves but not exactly alone
I think that something is out there waiting, anticipation has grown
The air as black as can be, can't even see that my hand is in front of me
I'm overhearing a whisper, "They won't escape until the blood is set free"
So turn back, the silence is deafening
Turn back, don't let them see you again
They make the rounds at the midnight hour
And on the clock it's just a minute away
So we're hours awake and our only mistake is we bleed
And the hunger for the living helps them hunt it with the greatest of ease
Now I'm finding my friends, Hanging from trees, made a bed of a barbed wire fence
I'm on the loose with my neck in the noose but hey, I enjoy the intense
So turn back, the silence is deafening
Turn back, don't let them see you again
They make the rounds at the midnight hour
And on the clock it's just a minute away
So we're hours awake and our only mistake is we bleed
When the hunger for the living helps them hunt it with the greatest of ease
No experience could ever match the sight of when is a person is through
If it's the last thing I will do, I'll be the one that will escape from Hellview
And I will
So turn back, the silence is deafening
Turn back, don't let them see you again
They make the rounds at the midnight hour
And on the clock it's just a minute away
So turn back, the silence is deafening
Turn back, don't let them see you again
They make the rounds at the midnight hour
And on the clock it's just a minute away
So we're hours awake and our only mistake is we bleed
When the hunger for the living helps them hunt it with the greatest of ease
No experience could ever match the sight of when is a person is through
If it's the last thing I will do, I'll be the one that will escape from Hellview
And I will
I think that something is out there waiting, anticipation has grown
The air as black as can be, can't even see that my hand is in front of me
I'm overhearing a whisper, "They won't escape until the blood is set free"
So turn back, the silence is deafening
Turn back, don't let them see you again
They make the rounds at the midnight hour
And on the clock it's just a minute away
So we're hours awake and our only mistake is we bleed
And the hunger for the living helps them hunt it with the greatest of ease
Now I'm finding my friends, Hanging from trees, made a bed of a barbed wire fence
I'm on the loose with my neck in the noose but hey, I enjoy the intense
So turn back, the silence is deafening
Turn back, don't let them see you again
They make the rounds at the midnight hour
And on the clock it's just a minute away
So we're hours awake and our only mistake is we bleed
When the hunger for the living helps them hunt it with the greatest of ease
No experience could ever match the sight of when is a person is through
If it's the last thing I will do, I'll be the one that will escape from Hellview
And I will
So turn back, the silence is deafening
Turn back, don't let them see you again

And on the clock it's just a minute away
So turn back, the silence is deafening
Turn back, don't let them see you again
They make the rounds at the midnight hour
And on the clock it's just a minute away
So we're hours awake and our only mistake is we bleed
When the hunger for the living helps them hunt it with the greatest of ease
No experience could ever match the sight of when is a person is through
If it's the last thing I will do, I'll be the one that will escape from Hellview
And I will

@[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
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“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.
its clearly about getting stuck in a town with the residents killing everyone he loves singing about and watching horror movies so why wouldnt it be about that? it says in 96 quite bitter beings the town of hellvie, hence its a town only way out is apparently flooded, how would that work in an amusement park and i guess the town is zombies cause it says the hunger for the living they arent vampires, vampires dont work in groups like that duh watch a horror movie its not about some shitty town that he lived/lives in, i mean i'm in a shitty town, i dont think everyone is trying to kill me and my friends at midnight the best part of the song is where he says Now I'm finding my friends Hanging from trees, made a bed of a barbed wire fence I'm on the loose with my neck in the noose but hey... I enjoy the intense best verse in any CKY song haha anyways i'm done peace out
