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"
Is this what I wish for those and all they know?
Could depend on how coward I should act
(From hell or does come it from within?)
If she won't give me the love I came here for
With pen, I am armed here to react
Hey now, hey now, what is it boy?
All the things that trouble you
So visit your mirror image
Of what might have once behaved
Hey now, hey now, what is it boy?
But I won't rest
Till dead, till dead do you part
This is how I feel my god from what's been dealt
The flies that flutter fight tonight
(From hell or does come it from within?)
Is it love that I'm feeling or is this hate the same?
The emotion's enough to kill the sane
Hey now, hey now, what is it boy?
All the things that trouble you
So visit your mirror image
Of what might have once behaved
Hey now, hey now, what is it boy?
Besides, I only hope you know that I love you
Oh, I hope
Feed, little maggots, off the west side of your sin
Run, little maggot, till they learn of what you did
Feed, little maggots, off the west side of your sin
Run, little maggot, till they learn of what you did
(Feliz sería a qué hora)
(Feliz sería a qué hora)
(Feliz sería a qué hora)
(Feliz sería a qué hora)
From start to finish, I've made you feel this
Uncomfort in turn, with the world you've learned
To love through this hate, to live with its weight
A burden discerned in the blood you taste
Why would you deny me answers?
If I'm just a boy on the brink of being
Horror and hell through its fires
Be brutally honest, was it better before me?
The curve of your body
How I want, how I want her with me
The truth of the story
The Vishual, I wish you all
The better end of all to come
The truth be now here, one by one
I am to you, extend to none
The memory to fuel the fire
Watching his tale with the words he unfolds
Conscience and cold, we'd never know
They scream as he laughs off the dust from his eyes
These words will now learn of the dreams in his mind
Could this be that hard for me?
To configure a new love in hate
To my new entity or banish it home to the grave
No one is safe
With the quickness strike out, for the less of us doubt
The mercy of the man who put the pen in our mouth
Word write us well signed, "Forgiveness for sale"
I'm through being full of all the might you want killed
The fiction will see the real
The answer will question still
In your body to blood as your parents once wept
You will follow their lead one by one, every step
Could this be that hard for me?
To configure a new love in hate
To my new entity or banish it home to the grave
I will not save
Your world
Your world
In the end and you
Your world
Your world
Could depend on how coward I should act
(From hell or does come it from within?)
If she won't give me the love I came here for
With pen, I am armed here to react
Hey now, hey now, what is it boy?
All the things that trouble you
So visit your mirror image
Of what might have once behaved
Hey now, hey now, what is it boy?
But I won't rest
Till dead, till dead do you part
This is how I feel my god from what's been dealt
The flies that flutter fight tonight
(From hell or does come it from within?)
Is it love that I'm feeling or is this hate the same?
The emotion's enough to kill the sane
Hey now, hey now, what is it boy?
All the things that trouble you
So visit your mirror image
Of what might have once behaved
Hey now, hey now, what is it boy?
Besides, I only hope you know that I love you
Oh, I hope
Feed, little maggots, off the west side of your sin
Run, little maggot, till they learn of what you did
Feed, little maggots, off the west side of your sin
Run, little maggot, till they learn of what you did
(Feliz sería a qué hora)
(Feliz sería a qué hora)
(Feliz sería a qué hora)
(Feliz sería a qué hora)

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."
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/
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.
"Could this be that hard for me? To configure a new love in hate? To my new entity or banish it home to the grave? No one is safe"
Brain stew is right, I also think the Crowing is telling the people that it's not safe. No one will live, theres no way to get away from their God
