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"
Oooh
I can't wait to get next to you
Oooh
I just can't leave you alone
Boy you got me doing things that I would never do
And I can't stop the way I'm feeling if I wanted to
I'm crazy 'bout the way that you could make me say your name
And if I couldn't have you I would probably go insane
'Cause only you can make me feel (only you can make me feel)
And only you can take me there (only you can take me there)
Only you can make me feel (only you, only you can make me feel)
And only you can take me there (only you can take me there)
Oooh
I can't wait to get next to you
Oooh
I just can't leave you alone
Boy you stay inside my mind, ain't no denyin' that
And only you could do them things that got me coming back
It's gotta be the realest thing that I have ever felt
And I do what I gotta do to keep you to myself
'Cause only you can make me feel (only you can make me feel)
And only you can take me there (only you can take me there)
Only you can make me feel (only you can make me feel)
And only you can take me there (only you can take me there)
Crazy 'bout the way you feel
I just gotta have you here
And I wanna let you know
I won't ever let you go
And only you can make me feel (only you can make me feel)
And only you can take me there (only you can take me there)
Only you can make me feel (you can make me feel)
And only you can take me there (only you can take me there)
Oooh
I can't wait to get next to you
Oooh
I just can't leave you alone
I can't wait to get next to you
Oooh
I just can't leave you alone
Boy you got me doing things that I would never do
And I can't stop the way I'm feeling if I wanted to
I'm crazy 'bout the way that you could make me say your name
And if I couldn't have you I would probably go insane
'Cause only you can make me feel (only you can make me feel)
And only you can take me there (only you can take me there)
Only you can make me feel (only you, only you can make me feel)
And only you can take me there (only you can take me there)
Oooh
I can't wait to get next to you
Oooh
I just can't leave you alone
Boy you stay inside my mind, ain't no denyin' that

And I do what I gotta do to keep you to myself
'Cause only you can make me feel (only you can make me feel)
And only you can take me there (only you can take me there)
Only you can make me feel (only you can make me feel)
And only you can take me there (only you can take me there)
Crazy 'bout the way you feel

Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
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."

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
This is the ONLY Ashanti song I like, and I actually LOVE this song. The guitar and the beat and it's just like... SO GOOD. And at first I thought the song was talking to her fans. But I guess it's just everything else.
this song iz the best. it's a song that will make ya get up and dance. (and stuck in ur head ALL DAY) lol. but yea, i can relate to it ~christy
who is the creepy guy playing guitar in the video he look's like taye diggs impersonating andre 3000.
dude this sogn rocks! i love this song soo much i dance to ill all the tiem the beat is gr8!
Hmmm. I also thought this song is about the fans, but I guess not. Its a great song, the guitar and the beat totally make you want to get up dance. Basically this song is just about a certain someone that you like, only one person can make you feel all these feelings and do things for them, basically she sums it up with "Only you can make me feel."
I like the song a whole lot but ummm that dance thing, you know the thing in the video where she she is pumping her hands in and out, gosh, soooo uness'.
"I'm crazy bout the way that you could make me say your name And if I couldn't have you I would drop you for each day" should be "I'm crazy 'bout the way that you could make me say your name and if I couldn't have you I would probably go insane"
