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"
Chiisa na koto de daiji na

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.
Holiday

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

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."
The title of this song in English is "When Someone's Wish Comes True". It basically means that not everyone can have their wishes, but someday, things will be better for everyone if you keep on living and you keep on trying. "dareka no negai ga kanau koro ano ko ga naiteru yo" Means "When someone's wish comes true, she'll be crying". The crying can either refer to the girl getting her wish, and being happy about it, or not getting her wish, and crying because of it. You shouldn't lose faith on anything, that's what this song is meant to say, and who says it better than Hikki? -Rin
Actually, this song is about a relationship. The guy wants to become the most important person in the world to the girl, so he gets a little possessive and such. Moreover, I think the couple has problems, because the guy is really clinging to the girl and doesn't give her a lot of space ("I said, "All I need is today," but that wasn't the case "). According to me, because of practical problems, they can't stay together (if it's about teens, one of them has to move, maybe) and the girl realizes this, but the guy just won't give up.
In the end, it gets really sweet and tender as they both learn that, if they want to be happy, they have to learn to let go and hope for the best. This is very clear when you compare part of the middle of the song ("To wish for own happiness is not selfish, right? If that's so, I want to hold you as tight as I can ") with part of the last chorus ("As the small earth rotates, I learn to become more kind. I want to hug you once more, as soft as I can.")
So, I partially agree with Hanabi but I think the song is actually about two people who are in love and can't stay together and in the end, they both learn to let go (although I still think they hope that in a way, they'll end up together again).
This song is about love and relationships. In love, two women can't be happy because if a man loves one he can't love the other (thus one woman's dream comes true while the other (ano ko) woman is left crying).
"Dareka no negai ga kanau koro, ano ko ga naiteru yo" (when someone's dream comes true, the other girl (over there) is crying)
The singer of the song lost the important thing to little things (not going for what she wanted, being happy just having him for a time): "Chiisa na koto de daiji na mono ushinatta" "Ima sae areba ii" to itta kedo sou ja nakatta"
She goes on to say that although she wishes for (his) happiness she is selfish (because she wants him for her own happiness): "Anata no shiawase negau hodo wagamama ga fueteku yo"
-"Jibun no shiawase negau koto wagamama dewa nai desho?" (wishing for one's own happiness isn't selfish...right?)
"Watashi no namida ga kawaku koro ano ko ga naiteru yo" (when my tears dry the other girl will be crying). Kono mama bokura no jimen wa kawakanai (and in this way, the ground beneath us will not dry - because of falling tears)
Basically everyone's dream cannot come true..one woman gets the dream and the other gets the tears; it took me 7 years, and marrying a Japanese woman to get my Japanese good enough to understand this beautiful song. Sorry for the essay I just really love this song, and Utada should have been my wife...hehe
