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'ma buy cars, I'ma get clothes
I'ma rock jewels, I'ma fuck hoes
I'ma smoke weed, got a lot of drinks
Steppin' out gator, Coca-Cola mink
I need it in my life
I want it in my life
Come put it in my life
I'ma keep it in my life
I'ma buy cars, I'ma get clothes
I'ma rock jewels, I'ma fuck hoes
I'ma smoke weed, got a lot of drinks
Steppin' out gator, Coca-Cola mink
I need it in my life
I want it in my life
Come put it in my life
I'ma keep it in my life (come on, come on)
It's that nigga Juve (bang, bang, bang, bang)
From the Magnolia, still lockin' (bang, bang, bang, bang)
You hoes knows what's happenin' with me, bust that pussy open
Loose titties, loose booty, round down and up
If a gangsta can't touch it, what you bouncing it for?
Now give me leeway, watch how a G play
Watch how my name get caught in the he and she say
It's UTP day, we what the streets made
They represent us when we hear us at the DJs
Break bread with me, nigga, is you mad with me?
Thought we was people, ya supposed to spend ya cash with me
I mean ya last with me
Hold me down, give me a whip
Give me a bitch and let her blow me down
I'm so gutter, I'm so slick, I'm so grimy
I promise you something and I betcha you don't find me
Look I'ma eat, purchase whatever I please
CO, give me the kis, or a brick(uh-huh), I need two of these
I'ma buy cars, I'ma get clothes
I'ma rock jewels, I'ma fuck hoes
I'ma smoke weed, got a lot of drinks
Steppin' out gator, Coca-Cola mink
I need it in my life
I want it in my life
Come put it in my life
I'ma keep it in my life
I'ma buy cars, I'ma get clothes
I'ma rock jewels, I'ma fuck hoes
I'ma smoke weed, got a lot of drinks
Steppin' out gator, Coca-Cola mink
I need it in my life
I want it in my life
Come put it in my life
I'ma keep it in my life
I'ma be so courageous, and so contagious
Till fuckin' rap sheets gonna receive mo' pages
Listen to Juve 'cause this my year mon (my year mon)
Four-hundred degrees and I'ma bout to kick it in gear mon? (In gear mon)
Don't you see the soldiers and hoes when I appear mon? (Appear mon)
About bein' written on my face 'cause I don't fear none (don't fear none)
Me and my team got a scheme to go light the block up
Skip's smoothin' the work and Wacko poppin' the chopper
I scream at you 'cause I mean it
The difference is you be throwing yo'up shit when you scream it
I seen it, shit, all the obstacles that I been through
What make you think I'ma be scared of a bitch like you?
I'm yo' dog, lemme get it on consignment
"You ain't paid them last people yet"
Dog, don't even remind me
I gain knowledge, my game polished, and it's obvious
You can't block it, you can't knock it, 'cause it's profit
I'ma buy cars, I'ma get clothes
I'ma rock jewels, I'ma fuck hoes
I'ma smoke weed, got a lot of drinks
Steppin' out gator, Coca-Cola mink
I need it in my life
I want it in my life
Come put it in my life
I'ma keep it in my life
I'ma buy cars, I'ma get clothes
I'ma rock jewels, I'ma fuck hoes
I'ma smoke weed, got a lot of drinks
Steppin' out gator, Coca-Cola mink
I need it in my life
I want it in my life
Come put it in my life
I'ma keep it in my life (yo)
Can I untape the clips and chill?
Show my niggas it's real
Can my people shop in Beverly Hills?
I got a lot of work I know that's gonna be ahead of me still
But my beast mentality gon' keep me ahead in the field
Pardon me, but I got paper to chase
Now cut through the talking and bring me straight to the safe
I know where the cameras at and I'm destroying the tape
I'm not leaving no evidence for the forensics to trace
I got a problem on my hand, a few bills I ain't been payin'
I figured about a lil' bit less than seventy-five grand
And my dog Rocky, caught a nickel for a pistol
It's serious when the federales comin' to get you
Life is at a standstill, out here in this damn field
What you say, can get you and ya mans killed
This my last chance to come up, this gotta be it (bounce, bounce, bounce)
Juve comin up, the first round' lottery pick (bounce, bounce, bounce)
I'ma buy cars, I'ma get clothes
I'ma rock jewels, I'ma fuck hoes
I'ma smoke weed, got a lot of drinks
Steppin' out gator, Coca-Cola mink
I need it in my life
I want it in my life
Come put it in my life
I'ma keep it in my life
I'ma buy cars, I'ma get clothes
I'ma rock jewels, I'ma fuck hoes
I'ma smoke weed, got a lot of drinks
Steppin' out, gator, Coca-Cola mink
I need it in my life
I want it in my life
Come put it in my life
I'ma keep it in my life

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."

Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
