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 was looking lost
It was cold outside
The whiskey rocks
How you caught my eye
My red lips painted
Dressed up in black
I needed something
To bring me back
You knew the play
And we danced all night
But something wasn't right
So I'll see you next Tuesday
If I ever get desperate
Or I'm so beyond faded
Just, I'll see you next Tuesday
Kinda nice out this morning
I won't sit around waiting
And I'm not just being cold
I'm just watching you pretend
Like your heart is on your sleeve
When I know you have a girlfriend
Oh, I'll see you next Tuesday
Oh oh, oh oh, oh,
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh
You don't call and you won't admit (won't admit)
The lies you spin for your power trip
And I just can't take you seriously
When all you send is a text to me
So I'll be gone when the morning comes
Let's not pretend it's love
So I'll see you next Tuesday
If I ever get desperate
Or I'm so beyond faded
Just, I'll see you next Tuesday
Kinda nice out this morning
I won't sit around waiting
And I'm not just being cold
I'm just watching you pretend
Like your heart is on your sleeve
When I know you have a girlfriend
I know you have a girlfriend
I'll see you next Tuesday
Oh oh, oh oh, oh
I don't want anything from this
I got your number, don't call me
I'll call you if I need a hit
I don't need no drama from this
I know you got your girl
And I don't need to do it on my ship
So I'll see you next Tuesday (I'll see you next Tuesday)
I'll see you next Tuesday (I'll see you next Tuesday)
So I'll see you next Tuesday
If I ever get desperate
Or I'm so beyond faded
Just, I'll see you next Tuesday
Kinda nice out this morning
I won't sit around waiting
And I'm not just being cold
I'm just watching you pretend
Like your heart is on your sleeve
When I know you have a girlfriend (I know you have a girlfriend)
I'll see you next Tuesday
So I'll see you next Tuesday
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh (Tuesday)
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh (Tuesday)
So I'll see you next Tuesday (I'll see you next Tuesday)
So I'll see you next Tuesday (Tuesday)
See you next Tuesday (oh, oh, oh oh)
So I'll see you next Tuesday
It was cold outside
The whiskey rocks
How you caught my eye
My red lips painted
Dressed up in black

To bring me back
You knew the play
And we danced all night
But something wasn't right
So I'll see you next Tuesday

Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
Holiday
Bee Gees

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
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/
Believe it or not, I think the song is about a girl being a booty call. The guy has a girlfriend and he's calling the girl/Ke$ha for sex. And it looks like he has feelings for her but Ke$ha knows that she's a booty call and doesn't really want a relationship.
''I'll be gone when the morning comes; Let's not pretend it's love'' - Self-explanatory. She'll be gone after they have sex, she doesn't want to pretend that it's love.
''I'm just watching you pretend like your heart is on your sleeve when I know you have a girlfriend'' - He's putting himself out for her but she feels he's pretending.
''I'll call you if I need it'' - ''It'' is simply sex in this case.
''I don't want anything from this i got your number, don't call me. i'll call you if i need a hit.'' - She doesn't want anything out of their psuedo-relationship and she'll only call him for sex.
'' I don't need no trouble from this, I know you got your girl and i don't need a dude on my shit. '' - She doesn't want to get into some complicated situation by getting involved with him and coming between him and his girlfriend. She also just wants to be free and doesn't want someone keeping her down.
''So I'll CUNxTuesday if i ever get desperate'' - She'll see him the next time he/she needs sex.
And that's what I think! Yeah it sounds weird but think about it.
I think you are halfway right, but she said in concert that he was a bootycall, but then she found out he already had a girlfriend and got pissed. She is being sarcastic when she says,<br /> <br /> ''I don't want anything from this i got your number, don't call me. i'll call you if i need a hit.''<br /> <br /> Actually I think the whole song is sarcastic, especially the title. Saying that you'll "C U Next Tuesday" is a common way of calling someone a cunt. So she is calling him a cunt for lying to her.<br />
This song is pretty good and some people might relate to it.
I think personally that this song is about being with a guy who's already taken.
C U Next Tuesday is a common saying of people who sleep with a married/taken guy and that she'll see him next tuesday so she can sleep with him.
CUN(ext)T(uesday) About a bad relationship, and she wants to call this person out with the above anagram.
I love this song. It's so BitterSweet

Damn theres no hidden meaning in this she's just calling someone a cunt...
After reading the lyrics I doubt it's that shallow but w/e.
doesnt she say " i dont need a dude on my ship" ??
C U Next Tuesday
That was pretty obvious, and the meaning is just about hating a guy who's a player
Is she calling the guy a cunt?
@jbphill84 Yes if you know Ke$ha she likes to ridicule guys by turning sexual attitudes and phrases back on them. I get the impression that when a guy wants to blow off a girl this is what he would text to her. She turns it around. Like in "Kiss and Tell" when she uses the term "slut" to refer to a guy who brags about sex. To me what is so disconcerting here is her anger, but the song itself is just beautiful. This girl is a freaking genius.
