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"
Make sure I sound good on that,
Make sure my voice sound good!
Ight, we all good now
Born to do it
Even though my friends lookin at me like who knew it
Run to it
The goods just picked thy new nigga
Feel cats talkin like who, nigga, is he
Where did he come from -- CL
My mom prayed for me on my journey
Treat me like ane alien something like sigourney
Live through the game for the fame and the gurney
Tried to put me on the pedestal
Hoes treated me like who are you
Now I get to choose like you and her too
I just like girls not whores
But I have a chill time make smores
But if I wanna plow someone like a snowblower
I can work that ass like a workout plan
And then I holler at fam
Talkin bout yay dime c jigga man
Been representin' since I met quince
And I get style tips from my homeboy vin and
Common's the homie
Really doe is the homie
GLC is the homie
And big shawn with a blunt
I go monkeypaw on the record and they think I’m cuckoo
Niggas is sign and date it like they recorded in fubu
Most niggas will quote you, play scrabble with your words man
Till you see them at your shows its my dick that they blow man
I would sit up some nights and think about my own place
Probably cause I took so many blunts of kush
To the face
My bad thoughts I can’t erase
Or eat what’s on the devil's plate
I just tell the devil wait
Cause murder will not be the case
In london with hudson
And them girls want some cuttin
I’m with him so I’m cool
Plus my face on the teli
But I’m pissed at the moment
I got charged for some roamin
At&t is some bullshit man I wish they’d stop frontin'
But when I roll back to Brooklyn
Hit the store for a dutchie
I say homie keep rappin
I say homie its nothin
I’m
This is
Dream on
Now when I roll back to cleveland
hit the store for a phillie
niggas tell me keep rappin
Cause them young niggas feel me
Hear me
Yep yep
When I roll out to cali
Hit the store for a swisha
niggas tell me keep rappin
I say homie I get ya
Hear me
Hear me
Cudder
This shit is dope as shit.
Make sure my voice sound good!
Ight, we all good now
Born to do it
Even though my friends lookin at me like who knew it
Run to it
The goods just picked thy new nigga
Feel cats talkin like who, nigga, is he
Where did he come from -- CL
My mom prayed for me on my journey
Treat me like ane alien something like sigourney
Live through the game for the fame and the gurney
Tried to put me on the pedestal
Hoes treated me like who are you

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
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."

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.
"But if I wanna plow someone like a snowblower" I think that should be "If I wanna floss, I be like a snowblower"
