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 just wanna touch ya, girl
The way you move (the way you move)
Oh you make me love it, yeah
'Cause lady, you cool
That's the way (that's the way)
You can move it baby (you can move it baby)

To come join our table (to come join our table)
Don't you worry (don't you worry)
Just keep movin' boobs (keep movin' boobs)
'Cause you're the star (you're the star)
Everybody looking at you (said looking at you)
Ain't no doubt about it, girl
The way you move. yeah
Ain't no doubt about it, hey girl
Baby you cool.
Game, drop top bent-a-ley (bentley)
Gucci belt buckle fresh out of italy
I'm a baller, literally
Haters are swine flu, you're killing me
I'm looking down on you from where the ceiling be
Me and my niggas swarm on you like the killer bees
My chick riding shotgun, billie jean
Half belizian half from the phillipines
Niggas energy, is like they got the heaves
Sick of me think they wanna nine milly me
But they ain't for rat tat tat-tat tat
My bullets sing like their registered to ascap
Need I say more out in singapore
Everything I do exotic I don't need to bring a broad
Mr. red carpet, I don't do awards
You want it I done it 5 million on tour, offshore.
I just wanna touch ya, girl
The way you move (the way you move)
Oh you make me love it, yeah
Cause lady, you cool!
That's the way (that's the way)
You can move it baby (you can move it baby)
Tell your girls (tell your girls)
To come join our table (to come join our table)
Don't you worry (don't you worry)
Just keep movin' boobs (keep movin' boobs)
Cuz you're the star (you're the star)
Everybody looking at you (said looking at you)
Ain't no doubt about it, girl
The way you move
Ain't no doubt about it, hey girl
Baby you cool
Yo pharrell, I'm ri-ri-diculous
So so sick with it
You can call me cancer but I don't smoke cigarettes
Come through in a 'rarri same color as licorice
If I ain't with her my b**ch like "this my nigga's s**t"
Haters beware, I can see clear
Through the lens on these black louis vs yeah
Something 'bout mary, make me wanna blow up
And b got the dizzy like for me when I show up
Whip game crazy I call it all kinda
You a big fish to swim the piranhas
Used to call me "dope game" when I came from jose
Now I play the roosevelt and I cop rose
Niggas be like yo you lease that? no way!
California slim license plate st. tropez
Eat at a table full of toupees, lobsters
Been a mobster since the two-way holla
I just wanna touch ya, girl
The way you move (the way you move)
Oh you make me love it, yeah
'Cause lady, you cool
That's the way (that's the way)
You can move it baby (you can move it baby)
Tell your girls (tell your girls)
To come join our table (to come join our table)
Don't you worry (don't you worry)

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
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."

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,
