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 you could see me now, blended in like a ninja
You'd wonder why you bothered
How someone, somewhere is already bored of you
And all I can ask, when I get back, that you could
Leave
The light on if you're not staying out
She says it's written in the stars
But I don't look at the stars anymore
I just want someone to die for
You're as good, you're as good as anyone
The right lighting and a little less distant
How distance eroded you
Did doubt fill up your shoes with problems you could
Dance to?
You should be wary what you listen to
How every song you love will turn into one note
That echos on everything, one note
Sweaty kids on pills aren't kids anymore
You're 24 and still chewing your insides out
We don't care what your scene's about
So many shows and no one turns out
All the girls in the front row stare at your hands
All the guys at the back bar talking shit about our
Band
You should be wary what you listen to
How every song you love will turn into one note
That echos on everything, one note
Some party scenes I wish to god I never walked in on
Some unmarked cars I wish I never stepped out in front
Of
You let that guy in your house
And now your house is on fire
And now your house is on fire
Took all your strength to hold your tongue
You have to make your own mistakes to make you learn
You almost prayed for a sudden ending
One note
You'd wonder why you bothered
How someone, somewhere is already bored of you
And all I can ask, when I get back, that you could
Leave
The light on if you're not staying out
She says it's written in the stars
But I don't look at the stars anymore
I just want someone to die for
You're as good, you're as good as anyone
The right lighting and a little less distant
How distance eroded you
Did doubt fill up your shoes with problems you could
Dance to?
You should be wary what you listen to
How every song you love will turn into one note
That echos on everything, one note
Sweaty kids on pills aren't kids anymore
You're 24 and still chewing your insides out
We don't care what your scene's about
So many shows and no one turns out
All the girls in the front row stare at your hands
All the guys at the back bar talking shit about our
Band
You should be wary what you listen to
How every song you love will turn into one note
That echos on everything, one note
Some party scenes I wish to god I never walked in on
Some unmarked cars I wish I never stepped out in front
Of
You let that guy in your house
And now your house is on fire
And now your house is on fire
Took all your strength to hold your tongue
You have to make your own mistakes to make you learn
You almost prayed for a sudden ending
One note

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."
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.

Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
see, i just wish i knew what this song has to do with bipolar disorder...
anyone got any ideas?
"This songs a bit about last year’s social craze of declaring yrself bipolar (because being gay or a self harmer or an anorexic is too passé), and also a bit of a dig at the Birmingham music scene; everyone talks of starting something great but never supports anything else."<br /> <br /> From the great little track-by-track written by Alexei (drownedinsound.com/in_depth/3284105)
ah, right! thank you, that makes a little more sense now. (:
