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 trusted you
Yeah, that would be my first mistake
Yeah, I, I've been lied to
Your eyes are ice cold blue
A mirror of the heart inside of you
You can't walk back in my life
You had your chance to be by my side
I don't have to hear you cry to know
Just go
I gave you my word and I promised to love you
Go, it's over
You had your chance
Just go
There's nothing inside me that still feels connected
To you
To me you're already gone
I got a new love now, yeah
She's my new love now
And she loves me so
Takes me where you never took me
Although you tried too
Her eyes, they read so true
So different from the way it was with you
I don't need you in my life
Forgot what it's like to be satisfied
I don't wanna hear you cry 'cause I know
Just go
I gave you my word and I promised to love you
Go, it's over
You had your chance
Just go
There's nothing inside me that still feels connected
To you
To me you're already gone
Takin' a look at these photographs
Fightin' my tears and I try to relax
'Cause you came and you left
And it all went by so fast
Just go
I gave you my word and I promised to love you
Go
You had your chance
Just go
There's nothing inside me that still feels connected
To you
To me you're already gone
Just go
I gave you my word and I promised to love you
Go, it's over
You had your chance
Just go
There's nothing inside me that still feels connected
To you
To me you're already gone
To me you're already gone
I got a new love now, yeah, yeah
I trusted you
And that would be my first mistake
Yeah, that would be my first mistake
Yeah, I, I've been lied to
Your eyes are ice cold blue
A mirror of the heart inside of you
You can't walk back in my life
You had your chance to be by my side
I don't have to hear you cry to know
Just go
I gave you my word and I promised to love you
Go, it's over
You had your chance
Just go
There's nothing inside me that still feels connected
To you
To me you're already gone
I got a new love now, yeah
She's my new love now
And she loves me so
Takes me where you never took me
Although you tried too
Her eyes, they read so true
So different from the way it was with you
I don't need you in my life
Forgot what it's like to be satisfied
I don't wanna hear you cry 'cause I know
Just go
I gave you my word and I promised to love you
Go, it's over
You had your chance
Just go
There's nothing inside me that still feels connected
To you
To me you're already gone
Takin' a look at these photographs
Fightin' my tears and I try to relax
'Cause you came and you left
And it all went by so fast
Just go
I gave you my word and I promised to love you
Go
You had your chance
Just go
There's nothing inside me that still feels connected
To you
To me you're already gone
Just go
I gave you my word and I promised to love you
Go, it's over
You had your chance
Just go
There's nothing inside me that still feels connected
To you
To me you're already gone
To me you're already gone
I got a new love now, yeah, yeah
I trusted you
And that would be my first mistake

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."

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
Some girl mistreated him too many times, so hes through with her... just go
i think this song is about that he had a girlfriend, who, as white_stone_3 said, mistreated him, so he tries to move on, get a new girlfriend and such, he really tries to tell himself that hes over her, but hes not..
now that i listen to the song, i hink you are right. He really loved this girl, but she was using him and he tried to get over her and he has found someone better so he is telling thisother girl that it is too late, he has moved on and he has someone who treats him right.
well i thinke this song is about some one deep to him that betraded him but see in this song there is no were that it says it was a guy or girl that left him so why dose every one consume it was a girl and not a guy see u have to thinke about thies things
