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 was checking out the Ritz hotel, in the middle of a Paris afternoon
My baby nude, my baby sweet, my baby got a perfect ass
Electric lips on endless legs, chaotic fury on breathless heels
My baby goddess is the reign of high voltage queens
A kamikaze body that blows up sex in your dream
Satan's daughter kills with the perfume of her moves
As she walks through the lobby turning man's eyes into steam
The lady is nude, damn! The model is real
She turns me on, she turns you on, she turns every single fucking life form on
She doesn't care of your control, she doesn't give a fuck of your smart rock'n roll
You wanna try? Try me and die? Give me some love, yes show me what you've got
I've got it all. When nothing hides, I wanna try
And while her chest so synchronized with the flying of her mane
She keeps going her machine-gunning with her style a hurricane
Now let them shake and shake for me and shake it yes, yes shake it only
My baby nude, my baby streaks, my baby with her perfect ass
She turns me on, she turns you on, she turns every single fucking life form on
She doesn't care of your control, she doesn't give a fuck of your smart silicon
You wanna try? Try me and die? Give me some love
And then show me what you've got, You've got it all, When nothing hides
You want it all
You wanna try? You just wanna try? Try me and die? You want it all
Then show me first what you've got. Bring me your lust. Give me your sins
Forget it all. Now show me please what you've got. You are the one
That's why I whisper your name. Don't run away
Just show me now what you've got. If you are real. You've got it all
Over the night. She's watching my fall. Live on a mud lane
She's gotta make me some
My baby nude, my baby sweet, my baby got a perfect ass
Electric lips on endless legs, chaotic fury on breathless heels
My baby goddess is the reign of high voltage queens
A kamikaze body that blows up sex in your dream
Satan's daughter kills with the perfume of her moves
As she walks through the lobby turning man's eyes into steam
The lady is nude, damn! The model is real
She turns me on, she turns you on, she turns every single fucking life form on
She doesn't care of your control, she doesn't give a fuck of your smart rock'n roll
You wanna try? Try me and die? Give me some love, yes show me what you've got
I've got it all. When nothing hides, I wanna try
And while her chest so synchronized with the flying of her mane
She keeps going her machine-gunning with her style a hurricane
Now let them shake and shake for me and shake it yes, yes shake it only
My baby nude, my baby streaks, my baby with her perfect ass
She turns me on, she turns you on, she turns every single fucking life form on
She doesn't care of your control, she doesn't give a fuck of your smart silicon
You wanna try? Try me and die? Give me some love
And then show me what you've got, You've got it all, When nothing hides
You want it all
You wanna try? You just wanna try? Try me and die? You want it all
Then show me first what you've got. Bring me your lust. Give me your sins
Forget it all. Now show me please what you've got. You are the one
That's why I whisper your name. Don't run away
Just show me now what you've got. If you are real. You've got it all
Over the night. She's watching my fall. Live on a mud lane
She's gotta make me some

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
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."
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
This song is the best of the album!
This song IS sex. It's about just wanting someone so much, and I think the "try me and die" is reffering to the 'little death' cos it just works so well. It's also about idolizing someone, she doesn't give a fuck of your smart silicone - she's the easy going, rebelious type - and the model is real - the image of perfect woman he's held all his life is finally there.
