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"
I won't smile, I'll blow this kiss away.
No one can stop the wind
Let's stop this useless laugh of uncomfortable silence
And swallow that this is not how love's supposed to follow
Realise that thing won't be fine until we cut the line and stomp these feelings.
Come one get what's yours
"Kick me, come on kick me with fucking feeling"
You can stay with me and we'll lose our minds
Think this could last forever?
Like the summer when love fell together
We fought, you smashed three times as excuses flood the streets that night.
So you wish you could be right this time
And all the falsities would fall behind
So you paint tje picture, draw the line
But the beauty can't be cropped this time
No one can stop the wind
Let's stop this useless laugh of uncomfortable silence
And swallow that this is not how love's supposed to follow
Realise that thing won't be fine until we cut the line and stomp these feelings.
Come one get what's yours
"Kick me, come on kick me with fucking feeling"
You can stay with me and we'll lose our minds
Think this could last forever?
Like the summer when love fell together
We fought, you smashed three times as excuses flood the streets that night.
So you wish you could be right this time
And all the falsities would fall behind
So you paint tje picture, draw the line
But the beauty can't be cropped this time

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/
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.
This song/band is amazing. I wish someone could get the full lyrics posted, from what I can hear, it sounds like at the end he says
So you wish you could be right this time And all the falsities would fall behind But you lost what you won, and thats just fine. So you paint the picture, draw the line But the beauty can't be cropped this time
Then I cant tell.. :P something about coming home.. Im pretty sure at the end it says 'youre not welcome here.. welcome home.'
Awesome song. To me, it seems like this song is about an awkward/painful reunion with someone the singer once loved. Good stuff.
I can't figure out that last part. This is what I have decrypted:
And I won't smile, I'll blow this kiss away And no one stops the wind Let's stop this useless laugh of uncomfortable silence And swallow that this is not how love's supposed to follow And I know things won't be fine until we cut the line and stop these feelings
Come one get what's yours "Kick me, come on kick me with fucking feeling" We'll stay right here and will love suffice? And nothing lasts forever Like the summer when love fell together You fought, you smashed three times as excuses flood those streets that night
So you wish you could be right this time All the falsities would fall behind But you lost what you won, and thats just fine. So you paint the picture, draw the line But the beauty can't be cropped this time
And it turns your insides out and lose your mind and thought you're coming home, and you're welcome (YOU)
I think it's about a couple that fell in love, but love isn't enough to keep them together. Over time they grew apart and it's not worth being together anymore.
