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"
Look at, lookin' at, lookin' at me
Look at that, look how they lookin' at me
Eyes all stickin' like honey on bees
Look at that, look how they lookin' at me
Yeah, DC chillin', PG chillin'
My name Wale and I came to get it
Came to get it, came to get It
My name Wale
Shiiit, this how you start off '09
Kickin' in the door, and I'm everybody problem
Stuntin' in some other Jordan Nines
I got Phil Knight talkin' about "How you got them?"
Let's talk about the cars y'all got
You say you got a lotta whips, well I got a lot
I got the right to be cocky
Get so much cut disc jockeys jock me
You niggas mad cause you not me
I remain a giant while you're Jeremy Shockey
And if you ain't heard me properly
If you speak garbage, then we no capiche
DC chillin', PG chillin', floor to the ceilin'
Stuntin' in my Billionaire gear on my
Millionaire frames, that's money on my mind, Wale
Look at, lookin' at, lookin' at me
Look at that, look how they lookin' at me
Eyes all stickin' like honey on bees
Look at that, look how they lookin' at me
DC chillin', PG chillin'
My name Wale and I came to get it
Came to get it, came to get It
My name Wale
Yeah, they keep sayin' whale, but my name Wale
Hoes call me "Mr. Never-Wear-The Same-Thing"
You redundant, you never ever change
And I'm the same way, M.I.A
And me, Cool and Dre gettin' high like planes
Your man Wale in his own damn lane
Can't control the box, you are no Mills Lane
Ain't heard DC since Sardines came
Ha! And I made y'all love it
We don't cop pleas, but y'all don't cop nothin'
Police come around don't nobody say nothin'
And you be with the cops, you niggas is McLovin
Dark liquor 'til we busted
'Til I got a buzz like that nigga Chris Mullin
District of Columbia
You Bernie Mac funny, we ain't scared of none of ya
Look at, lookin' at, lookin' at me
Look at that, look how they lookin' at me
Eyes all stickin' Like honey on bees
Look at that, look how they lookin' at me
DC chillin', PG chillin'
My name Wale and I came to get it
Came to get it, came to get It
My name Wale
Get 'em all, get 'em all, pick it all up
Stack up your funds like a million bucks
Across the pond, they all know us
International, whoa!
Driving my car to a foreign place
Lookin' at me, now they know my face
We want it all now, we got it all, yes
Look at, look at, how they looking at us
Dre, pickin' my, pick'em
I'll shut them all down
Haters in the crowd, if you see 'em, point them out
Stacks in my jeans, broads on the scene
Folarin be ballin' for all y'all to see
Ain't I something? The way I'm stuntin'
My material girls give 'em A-Rod Money!
LV on my luggage
Them Bammas goin' hate, and I love it
Fuck it
Fliest of the boys, fliest of the birds
Flying in the sky with their money and arts
We want it all now
We got it all year
Look at, look at, how they looking at us
Fliest of the boys, fliest of the birds
Flying in the sky with their money and arts
We want it all now
We got it all year
Look at, look at, how they looking at us
Look at that, look how they lookin' at me
Eyes all stickin' like honey on bees
Look at that, look how they lookin' at me
Yeah, DC chillin', PG chillin'
My name Wale and I came to get it
Came to get it, came to get It
My name Wale

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
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.
I was sure PG meant Pussy Gettin but my mistake yours makes wayyyy more sense hahaXD
