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"
Hey there kids I see you're feelin' blue
Parents push you 'round and tell you what to do
Dad makes you clean your room and go to bed
Instead of watchin' TV you have to do homework instead
And I know it makes you angry
And you're full of rage
Well let me tell you a secret I wish I knew when I was your age
Next time you're angry and you wanna fight back
Just tell your teacher Daddy likes to play with your sack
And you can get a new daddy
Get a New Daddy
Police'll take the old one away in a caddy
You can get a new daddy
Get a New Daddy
Stay up real late
Kick back and light up a fatty
You can Get a New Daddy
Get a New Daddy
In a couple of months you'll probably get a new daddy
Get a New Daddy
Get a New Daddy
In a couple of months you'll probably get a new daddy
Now for a little while your new daddy's cool
Buys you things and tries real hard to bond with you
Lets you eat candy and play video games
But your friends at school all think that he's kind of lame
Now you can't have your buddies makin' fun of your dad
And all in all this one was really not so bad
But you think you'd might like to try once more
Take naked Polaroid’s of yourself and leave them in his sock drawer
And you can get a new daddy
Get a New Daddy
Stay up real late
Kick back and light up a fatty
You can get a new daddy
Get a New Daddy
Police'll take the old one away in a caddy
You can Get a New Daddy
Get a New Daddy
In a couple of months you'll probably get a new daddy
Get a New Daddy
Get a New Daddy
In a couple of months you'll probably get a new daddy
Now your mom's wondering what's wrong with her
And why she keeps attracting men that are dirty pervs
She has a breakdown and cries and cries
And after a while she's institutionalized
You can get a new mommy
Get a New Mommy
New brother and sister
A New house, A new mommy
Get a new mommy
Get a New Mommy
A New brother, New sister
A New house, A new mommy
Get a New Mommy
Get a New Daddy
Stay up real late
Kick back and spark up a fatty
You can get a new daddy
Get a New Daddy
Police'll take the old one away in a caddy
You can Get a New Daddy
Get a New Mommy
A New brother and sister
A New house, A New Mommy
Get a New Mommy
Get a New Daddy
Stay up real late
Kick back and spark up a fatty
You can Get a New Daddy
Get a New Daddy
In a couple of months you'll probably get a new Daddy
Parents push you 'round and tell you what to do
Dad makes you clean your room and go to bed
Instead of watchin' TV you have to do homework instead
And I know it makes you angry
And you're full of rage
Well let me tell you a secret I wish I knew when I was your age
Next time you're angry and you wanna fight back
Just tell your teacher Daddy likes to play with your sack
And you can get a new daddy
Get a New Daddy
Police'll take the old one away in a caddy
You can get a new daddy
Get a New Daddy
Stay up real late
Kick back and light up a fatty
You can Get a New Daddy
Get a New Daddy
In a couple of months you'll probably get a new daddy
Get a New Daddy
Get a New Daddy
In a couple of months you'll probably get a new daddy

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.
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."
