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"
She's more than a dime, she's a dove
Damn, I'm in love, hit it from the house to the club
Keep my mind on her, spend my last dime on her
She bring me to cloud 9 when my ass climb on her
Can see she make the picture clear just like Time Warner
Treat her like the car, the way that I ride on her
She helped me focus in get my rhymes right too
And my mind right too, that's why she shine through
I gotta quit, I gotta get this chick up out my system
She's no good for me
All of my dogs wanna hit her, right after I'm with her
I eat then I fall asleep and it's gettin' costly
Lately, all I've been banging is
Them chicks that come with seeds
But shorty she's a dime, in fact that girl's a dove
And I think I'm falling in love
She gets me all choked up
I can barely catch my breath
Don't want to pass her around
I keep her to myself
You see she gives me stimulation
Ain't nobody messing up our rotation
Although I think it's big and you better believe
Nobody blazing it up but me
I need her first thing when I wake up
Call me a fiend
And I ain't talking about nicotine
Y'all know what I mean
Just call me your fiend
I'm just a addict for your love
I've got to have it all your love
I can't let it go, I'll never be clean
You can just call me a fiend
I twist her up, pull her to me real slow
Let the taste of a chocolate make my eyes get low
But she burns through my paper so fast, gotta make it last
Hate to watch them swisha sweets walk past
When my personal stash get low
Then it's back to the block tryin' find her
Shorty she's a dime in fact that girl's a dove
And I think I'm fallin' in love
She gets me all choked up
I can barely catch my breath
Don't want to pass her around
I keep her to myself
You see she gives me stimulation
Ain't nobody messing up our rotation
Although I think it's big and you better believe
Nobody blazing it up but me
I need her first thing when I wake up
Call me a fiend
And I'm not talking nicotine
Y'all know what I mean?
I'm just an addict for your love
I've got to have it, all your love
I can't let it go, I'll never be clean
You can just call me a fiend
I need her first thing when I wake up
Call me a fiend
And I ain't talking about nicotine
Y'all know what I mean?
I'm just an addict for your love
I've got to have it, all your love
I can't let it go, I'll never be clean
You can just call me a fiend
I'm a fiend for her, go to sleep wit a dream of her
Wake up, grind hard, get cream for her
Play the whip on a lean wit her
Just in case I don't make it home
I'ma leave a team with her
Me and her been down since her head was 'round
I went to every party in town and bought her around
And now she get lose with it
Her head's purple and green but she looks cute with it
And I ain't mad at her, I let the team take a stab at her
I bring her home all alone and unpack her bags for her
We can do it all night, right, wake up and do it all day
All we need's a light, right
Letting her go is gonna be a slow process
One kiss from her lips took the stress up off my chest
Riding shot gun, body tight, couldn't hold it in
Had to park and spark it up again
And I swear she left her heaven scent in the air
All in my clothes, all in my hair
She got my head in a cloud
Y'all know what I'm talking about
I need her first thing when I wake up
Call me a fiend
And I ain't talking about nicotine
Y'all know what I mean
I'm just an addict for your love
I've got to have it all your love
I can't let it go, I'll never be clean
You can just call me a fiend
I need her first thing when I wake up
Call me a fiend
And I ain't talking about nicotine
Damn, I'm in love, hit it from the house to the club
Keep my mind on her, spend my last dime on her
She bring me to cloud 9 when my ass climb on her
Can see she make the picture clear just like Time Warner
Treat her like the car, the way that I ride on her
She helped me focus in get my rhymes right too
And my mind right too, that's why she shine through

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."

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.
