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"
"This is DJ EZ Dicc
And this is the Golden Shower Hour
Early in the morning
Wake your goat mouth ass up
This is 187.4 FM on your dial
And we flippin' it just like this
For all you motherfuckin' real G's out there, huh
Come with the real shit, 187.4 FM on your dial"
Until the tick-tock, ya don't stop
Until the beep-beep and you don't freak
Uh, check it out, baby bubba in the place to be
My name is Snoop (say what?)
The one they wanna see, so uh
Blaze up the bud and break out the champagne
'Cause we rollin' in the fast lane
Tryna find the right lane
Doing it just like players
Laying down laws, governors, mayors
Pay us to stay up on top of things
It's something 'bout being in that Dogg Pound Gang
That makes me wanna have some type of hustle in life
If being wrong is broke, I can't be right
Despite all the madness you hear nowadays
Stealin' rhymes from Super Duper seems to get you paid
But you played yourself, 'cause you can't play me
I see through you but you can't see me
He's been watching you (he'll be watching) (yeah)
So smooth (smooth, smooth, smooth, smooth)
Long Beach is on the move (smooth like the motion of water)
He's been watching you (he'll be watching)
So smooth (yeah, smooth, smooth, smooth)
Long Beach is on the move
Now I'm a bonafide microphone technician with styles
I came to storm on these MCs like electrical clouds
Hear me now, a born killer like Mick and Mall'
Down to trip and empty clips and permanently exile
The oppositions, competition, discrete and dismantled
Light 'em up like candlesticks with the instinct of a vandal
Vandalize, how I reprimand MCs to freeze
Movement guarantees the temperatures decrease degrees
Frozen stiff, 'cause what I'm holdin' lifts the soul
This metal automatic weapon keeps me in control
Never fold, I scald like water in order
To let these MC's know I slaughter, so time's getting shorter
It sorta limits ya, but to me the sky's the limit
Ya know I diminish ya to dust, TEC's sinister
Bust one rhyme that's like a voodoo hex
Connect complex styles, my vast high tech flex
'Cause when there's, an MC like me who's in there like swimwear
Don't despite me, 'cause all the hoes like me, mashin' in Nikes
I done seen niggas on TV, dissin' to get deals
Now I got one question, nigga, how does it feel?
Check your game, but I ain't even sayin' no names
Proclaimed lyricist dissin' us for fortune and fame
Did I do somethin' to you? Did we serve ya hoes?
'Cause you're on TV rappin' like ya knew me and know me
But you don't really know me, that motherfuckin' nigga from the DPG
The K-U-R-U-P-T, I'm too smooth, ah (motherfucker)
He's been watching you (he'll be watching) comin' in so smooth (you)
Tha Dogg Pound is on the move (is on the move)
He's been watching you (he'll be watching) comin' in so smooth (you)
Dogg Pound is on the move (is on the move)
Every, every, every, every
Everybody's got, got to hear the shit, shit
Every, everybody's got to hear the shit
I know that's right
Real smooth here on 187.4 FM on your dial
The station that's playing platinum hits, baby
That's keeping you coming
And I'm the DJ with the fattest sack, DJ E-A-Z
Look between my legs and you'll know why
On that station that's sockin' some soul to your ass
W Balls, fadin' 'em all
And now we're gonna take some calls
I wanna dedicate this one to my girl, Cheryl
Out there, man, with a fat ass, bitch
Yo, this is Barry White
Yo, Tha Dogg Pound, y'all motherfuckers sounding good
Sho' you're right
Keep doing what you're doing, you players
I'm Kevin "Slo Jammin'" James from 92.3 The Beat
Man, this shit is so smooth
I'm switching up, get me an application
I wanna work for W Balls
And this is the Golden Shower Hour
Early in the morning
Wake your goat mouth ass up

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."

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
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.
