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"
If i was a king all bitches would blow me
big bag piles of jewels for my homies
we would go to war and take everybodys land
no clothes alound for female citizens
titties and nedens exposed for the public
i run around gropin these hoes and the love it
give these little kids a little somthin to drink
you free all hookers and pimps out the clink
new days mutha fucka i rewrite the laws
everybody gotta get a SV tag Cuz
we run this bitch parades on daily
every criminal out there gotta pay me
fuck that five hoes lickin my ass
we sit around bonfires burnin our cash
dance for me hoe and feed me grapes before i throw that ass to the snakes
If i was a king
you mother fuckers wouldnt have to worry about a damn thing
i got this bitch
shits under control
i got this bitch
shits under control
If i was a king
you mother fuckers wouldnt have to worry about a damn thing
i got this bitch
shits under control
i got this bitch
shits under control
if i was a king there wouldnt be no generals
i call the shots pimp cups with emeralds
i piss in my own halls clean that shit up
i sleep for weeks in a time wouldent get up
i wouldent do shit but accumulate paper
lookin at the penthouse of a skyscrapper
its all mine all blew out the window
i let it blow everywhere rain on the people
fine hoes no autographs only bubble baths
nedens get blown out and thrown in the trash
the balls in my nut bag will be to big ass diamonds
you see them through my underwear shinin
step back when the king is comin down the street
with the murderest fleet rumbleing your feet
im riding on a dinosaur if i was a king with the hair on my hoes they suck my dick and everything
If i was a king
you mother fuckers wouldent have to worry about a damn thing
i got this bitch
shits under control
i got this bitch
shits under control
If i was a king
you mother fuckers wouldent have to worry about a damn thing
i got this bitch
shits under control
i got this bitch
shits under control
if i was king id shoot arrows in my city
if they hit sombody then there luck was shitty
when you meet this king do more then bow
do three summersaults and a flip some how
id send ninja assasins to kill other kings
and run around there lands settin fire to things
bendtime power this king wouldnt care
and i would sample every mother fuckin neden out there
If i was a king
you mother fuckers wouldnt have to worry about a damn thing
i got this bitch
shits under control
i got this bitch
shits under control
If i was a king
you mother fuckers wouldnt have to worry about a damn thing

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
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

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.
