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"
Just live in love
Believe in love
In my life I have seen all the ways hatred destroys mankind
Break society's system, chase the mercy, there's no compromise
Don't mistake kindness and compassion for weakness
It takes so much more strength to be selfless and live in love
Strive to live in selflessness, and live in love
Through all your days, just live in love
Through all your pain, believe in love
Live
All that you think you know; it's just a fraction of this world
Take the time to think about your life
Live righteous
Strive to live in selflessness, and live in love
Through all your days, just live in love
Through all your pain, believe in love
The words we speak, the ones we don't say
Power you don't know you could sing
Through all your days, believe in love
Don't you see we are all one
Don't you see we are all the blood brothers and sisters
We are one (brothers and sisters)
We are one (brothers and sisters)
We are one
We are one
And I pray this is not in vain
All that you know about, all you can hide
All that you feel inside (live in love)
All that you know about, all you can hide
All that you feel inside (live in love
Through all our days, live in love
Through all our pain, believe in love
Believe in love
In my life I have seen all the ways hatred destroys mankind
Break society's system, chase the mercy, there's no compromise
Don't mistake kindness and compassion for weakness
It takes so much more strength to be selfless and live in love
Strive to live in selflessness, and live in love
Through all your days, just live in love
Through all your pain, believe in love
Live
All that you think you know; it's just a fraction of this world
Take the time to think about your life
Live righteous
Strive to live in selflessness, and live in love
Through all your days, just live in love
Through all your pain, believe in love
The words we speak, the ones we don't say
Power you don't know you could sing
Through all your days, believe in love
Don't you see we are all one
Don't you see we are all the blood brothers and sisters
We are one (brothers and sisters)
We are one (brothers and sisters)
We are one
We are one
And I pray this is not in vain
All that you know about, all you can hide
All that you feel inside (live in love)
All that you know about, all you can hide
All that you feel inside (live in love
Through all our days, live in love
Through all our pain, believe in love

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."

Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
Amazing song! I love this band already. Sounds just like AoJB KSE.
several songs songs are really awesome - Jesse is over all :)
Some of the lyrics were incorrect, this is what they are:
Just live in love. Believe in love.
In my life I have seen all the ways hatred destroys mankind. Break society's system, chase the mercy, there's no compromise.
Don't mistake kindness and compassion for weakness, It takes so much more strength to be selfless and live in love.
Chorus: Strive to live in selflessness, and live in love. Through all your days, just live in love. Through all your pain, believe in love.
Live.
All that you think you know; it's just a fraction of this world, Take the time to think about your life. Live righteous.
Chorus II: Strive to live in selflessness, and live in love. Through all your days, just live in love. Through all your pain, believe in love.
The words we speak, the ones we don't say. Power you don't know you could sing. Through all your days, believe in love.
Don't you see we are all one. Don't you see we are all the blood brothers and sisters. We are one (brothers and sisters). We are one (brothers and sisters). We are one. We are one.
And I pray this is not in vain!
Final Chorus: All that you know about, all you can hide, All that you feel inside (Live in love). All that you know about, all you can hide, All that you feel inside (Live in love). Through all our days, Live in love. Through all our pain, Believe in love.
