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'm walking down an empty road, and I don't know,
where it's leading to,
my heart is beating faster and I'm searching,
for the truth,
gravity keeps pulling me and time is standing still,
golden rays are shining,
on you...
The sun is shining down on me, now i feel you,
the rain is falling over me, and i feel only you..
The sun is shining down on me (the sun is shining down on me)
now i feel you (now i feel you)
the rain is falling over me (the rain is falling over me)
and i feel only you.. (and i feel only you..)
spinning round i feel the heat, rising up,
deep inside of me,
look around and soon you'll feel the very air,
that i breathe,
your mind and soul is all around,
I sense you are so near,
now golden rays are shining
on me,
The sun is shining down on me (the sun is shining down on me)
now i feel you (now i feel you)
the rain is falling over me (the rain is falling over me)
and i feel only you.. (and i feel only you..)
The sun is shining down on me (the sun is shining down on me)
now i feel you (now i feel you)
the rain is falling over me (the rain is falling over me)
and i feel only you.. (and i feel only you..)
(repeat)
where it's leading to,
my heart is beating faster and I'm searching,
for the truth,
gravity keeps pulling me and time is standing still,
golden rays are shining,
on you...
The sun is shining down on me, now i feel you,
the rain is falling over me, and i feel only you..
The sun is shining down on me (the sun is shining down on me)
now i feel you (now i feel you)
the rain is falling over me (the rain is falling over me)
and i feel only you.. (and i feel only you..)
spinning round i feel the heat, rising up,
deep inside of me,
look around and soon you'll feel the very air,
that i breathe,
your mind and soul is all around,
I sense you are so near,
now golden rays are shining
on me,
The sun is shining down on me (the sun is shining down on me)
now i feel you (now i feel you)
the rain is falling over me (the rain is falling over me)
and i feel only you.. (and i feel only you..)
The sun is shining down on me (the sun is shining down on me)
now i feel you (now i feel you)
the rain is falling over me (the rain is falling over me)
and i feel only you.. (and i feel only you..)
(repeat)

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."

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
Song seems pretty ambigious. Draws an incredible emotion though, somewhere between nostalgia and euphoria
To me this song is about dreams and how you should follow them and your heart.
1. I'm walking down an empty road, and I don't know where it's leading means he doesn't know where his life is leaving.
2. my heart is beating faster and I'm searching, for the truth, means he is searching where he should go the truth for him.
3. gravity keeps pulling me and time is standing still, golden rays are shining, means the time is standing still and he is bored with his life and is just blah but golden rays are shining on you...which means his heart is feeling like going his direction of his all-time dream, or maybe it is another dream that he feels was not as good in the past but feels it is would be better than his old dream.
4. The sun is shining down on me, now i feel you, the rain is falling over me, and i feel only you.. which means his dream is shining down on him and he feels he should go that direction, the rain which symbolizes a bunch of emotions which leads him to it. His heart feels the rode he is going to is right.
5. The sun is shining down on me (the sun is shining down on me) now i feel you (now i feel you) same thing as I said above.
6. the rain is falling over me (the rain is falling over me) and i feel only you.. (and i feel only you..) and same as above.
7. spinning round i feel the heat, rising up, deep inside of me, meaning he is nervous.
8. look around and soon you'll feel the very air, that i breathe, meaning he takes a deep breath because he is confident.
7. your mind and soul is all around, I sense you are so near, because he senses the dream is so near his mind is having happy thoughts a lot and his soul feels bliss a lot.
8. I sense you are so near, now golden rays are shining on me, meaning the dream is so near so happiness is shining on him and feels just joy for the future.
and then there are there is the sun chorus again.
So basically I think this song is about going for your dreams no matter what anybody thinks and also to follow your heart through the obstacles and pain.
Enjoy life and let this song build you up when you feel you can not complete your dreams.
Cheers, ;D:(_);D;
