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"
Pinning pictures on the walls
Running when the postman calls
Eating all the chemicals that keep you under
Once you have a point of view
Situate these giant views
See the people just like you, it makes you wonder
Is your mind a prison? Is this how you exist?
A ??? to make decisions
A ??? to change the risks
Well something must be missing
And you now know what it is
Everything's so easy
But it's oh so boring
Tearing pictures off the walls
Watching all the heroes fall
Spraying new age slogans on the walls that feel it
Turning off the tv screen rob the nightmare to the dream
No one shrugs he's let her scream
Know the feeling
When they laugh at your conviction
When they say you're full of fiction
Point out all the contradictions
They live under
When they say you ??? moral definition
Say you've just escaped from prison
Watch them wonder
Get out of your prison it's only in your mind
All the things you're given are there to make you blind
Rules are to be broken and walls are to be climbed
So throw away your values and leave then all behind
Go wild (My Son)
Go wild yey!
Running when the postman calls
Eating all the chemicals that keep you under
Once you have a point of view
Situate these giant views
See the people just like you, it makes you wonder
Is your mind a prison? Is this how you exist?
A ??? to make decisions
A ??? to change the risks
Well something must be missing
And you now know what it is
Everything's so easy
But it's oh so boring
Tearing pictures off the walls
Watching all the heroes fall
Spraying new age slogans on the walls that feel it
Turning off the tv screen rob the nightmare to the dream
No one shrugs he's let her scream
Know the feeling
When they laugh at your conviction
When they say you're full of fiction
Point out all the contradictions
They live under
When they say you ??? moral definition
Say you've just escaped from prison
Watch them wonder
Get out of your prison it's only in your mind
All the things you're given are there to make you blind
Rules are to be broken and walls are to be climbed
So throw away your values and leave then all behind
Go wild (My Son)
Go wild yey!
