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"
I'm all choked up again
With these two hands and the rage I'm in
I think I just killed a man
I think it was my old man
I hadn't seen him in years and now he's bleedin' tears
And his head is in the palm of my hand
All choked up again
Have you ever met up a little command
That couldn't break a poor boy's chin?
And here it all is again
Went all in I got stuck in a jam
That's what you get when you're a gamblin' man
That's what you get when you're a gamblin' man
Well, every day you seem to dig a little deeper
Into nothin' that is left behind
Up all night 'til it's early in the mornin'
And the whole damn world's on fire
I close my eyes and I wanna start runnin'
But my legs are broken and tied
Everything around me starts spinnin'
And I realize I'm buried alive
This ain't no place for kids
But when you're raised in a bucket of rain
You either die or you learn to swim
You either die or you learn to swim
I just need to see my baby again
She took my hand there from where it began
Said she would love me with trouble I was in
Said she would love me with trouble I was in
And every day I seem to dig a little deeper
Into nothin' that is left behind
Up all night 'til it's early in the mornin'
And the whole damn world's on fire
I close my eyes and I wanna start runnin'
But my legs are broken and tied
And everything around me starts spinnin'
And I realize I'm buried alive
I'm all choked up again
With these two hands and the rage I'm in
I think I just killed a man
With these two hands and the rage I'm in
I think I just killed a man
I think it was my old man
I hadn't seen him in years and now he's bleedin' tears
And his head is in the palm of my hand
All choked up again
Have you ever met up a little command
That couldn't break a poor boy's chin?
And here it all is again
Went all in I got stuck in a jam
That's what you get when you're a gamblin' man
That's what you get when you're a gamblin' man
Well, every day you seem to dig a little deeper
Into nothin' that is left behind
Up all night 'til it's early in the mornin'
And the whole damn world's on fire
I close my eyes and I wanna start runnin'
But my legs are broken and tied
Everything around me starts spinnin'
And I realize I'm buried alive
This ain't no place for kids
But when you're raised in a bucket of rain
You either die or you learn to swim
You either die or you learn to swim
I just need to see my baby again
She took my hand there from where it began
Said she would love me with trouble I was in
Said she would love me with trouble I was in
And every day I seem to dig a little deeper
Into nothin' that is left behind
Up all night 'til it's early in the mornin'
And the whole damn world's on fire
I close my eyes and I wanna start runnin'
But my legs are broken and tied
And everything around me starts spinnin'
And I realize I'm buried alive
I'm all choked up again
With these two hands and the rage I'm in
I think I just killed a man

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."
