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"
A yo my lordy did 5 came home big body Benz
Curly head hoe Bobby pin
Double shotty twins
We be shooting shit like a shot of gin
Turn it into A trap give a fuck who ever spot we in
My bitch not a feminist she nuwaubian
My come up story is like the John gotti film
Told her pull up on the dolo yo low
Mari was selling dope when I would watch the romeo show
When I was fucked up and low they wouldn't loan me no dough
No money in his commissary just a bogie to blow
My shit one of one there's no canvas to prints
A bad one speaking Spanish got her on hands on my dick
You on some broke shit relying on a stimulus check
I break down a hp my youning finish the rest
My earth ask me what's the math so we can finish the test
We bout to do the grown folk put the children to rest
Fuck a pyt I'm bout to build with some vets
No disrespect
Her 2nd baby daddy tat on her neck
I love my hood hoes
West side Copley road south-west, channel wood hoes
Scamming shit and keep a wood rolled
Bmf shit if we talking hood goals
Sometimes you gotta get away before you catch a case
My bitch be stalking my gram trying to investigate
I brought some more niggas with me need some extra plates
This go around
My bitch a throw around
She tell me when I get famous I bet not hoe around
Niggas always switching on the ones who hold them down
Not me been the same since I came out the womb
Autopsy read his ass had a 1000 bullet wounds
Curly head hoe Bobby pin
Double shotty twins
We be shooting shit like a shot of gin
Turn it into A trap give a fuck who ever spot we in
My bitch not a feminist she nuwaubian
My come up story is like the John gotti film
Told her pull up on the dolo yo low
Mari was selling dope when I would watch the romeo show
When I was fucked up and low they wouldn't loan me no dough
No money in his commissary just a bogie to blow
My shit one of one there's no canvas to prints
A bad one speaking Spanish got her on hands on my dick
You on some broke shit relying on a stimulus check
I break down a hp my youning finish the rest
My earth ask me what's the math so we can finish the test
We bout to do the grown folk put the children to rest
Fuck a pyt I'm bout to build with some vets
No disrespect
Her 2nd baby daddy tat on her neck
I love my hood hoes
West side Copley road south-west, channel wood hoes
Scamming shit and keep a wood rolled
Bmf shit if we talking hood goals
Sometimes you gotta get away before you catch a case
My bitch be stalking my gram trying to investigate
I brought some more niggas with me need some extra plates
This go around
My bitch a throw around
She tell me when I get famous I bet not hoe around
Niggas always switching on the ones who hold them down
Not me been the same since I came out the womb
Autopsy read his ass had a 1000 bullet wounds

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."
