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"
Como un globo de helio,
que se perdió en el cielo de las manos de un niño,
desapareces tú
Como un acto de magia,
vuelves y apareces robándome la calma que tanto me hace falta
Y cuando ya,
finalmente te he arrancado de mi vida regresas a cultivar
angustia en mi corazón,
aquí en mi fértil corazón
Vienes a ofrecerme la vida,
vuelves para dármelo todo,
pides el perdón convencida
Pero en el fondo sigo igual está bien claro que es fatal
Muy mal me ha ido sin ti en estos días,
sabes que no aguanto estar solo,
siempre has controlado mi vida,
pero en el fondo sigo igual está bien claro que es fatal,
si tú no estás
Casi un imposible seguir con lo nuestro,
es lo que siempre pienso pero me olvido de ello
Y cuando ya,
finalmente te he arrancado de mi vida regresas a cultivar
angustia en mi corazón,
aquí en mi fértil corazón
Vienes a ofrecerme la vida,
vuelves para dármelo todo,
pides el perdón convencida
Pero en el fondo sigo igual está bien claro que es fatal
Muy mal me ha ido sin ti en estos días,
sabes que no aguanto estar solo,
siempre has controlado mi vida,
porque en el fondo sigo igual está bien claro que es fatal,
si tú no estás
(Te vas o te quedas)
Como magia apareces y desapareces dejándome el alma
en la incertidumbre que duele y que quema
(Te vas o te quedas)
Debes decírmelo porque por fin sabré la verdad de este amor
si para ti solo es: juego, diversión o me quieres de veras
(Te vas o te quedas)
No, no puedo resolverlo y sabrás que no pienso
en ti si te vas y yo dejo de sufrir si te quedas
(Te vas o te quedas)
Confundido, desconcertado, malherido,
ilusionado y enamorado me dejas
(Dime si te quedas o dime si te vas)
Si te marchas para siempre o te quedas de verdad
(Dime si te quedas o dime si te vas)
No me mientas con un beso si esa no es la realidad
(Dime si te quedas o dime si te vas)
Dime si te vas a quedar
(Dime si te quedas o dime si te vas)
Que no, no juegues con mi cariño yo quiero tranquilidad
(Dime si te quedas o dime si te vas)
Que te quiero,que te adoro, tu no sabes si te da seguridad
(Dime si te quedas o dime si te vas)
Dime si te vas a quedar
que se perdió en el cielo de las manos de un niño,
desapareces tú
Como un acto de magia,
vuelves y apareces robándome la calma que tanto me hace falta
Y cuando ya,
finalmente te he arrancado de mi vida regresas a cultivar
angustia en mi corazón,
aquí en mi fértil corazón
Vienes a ofrecerme la vida,
vuelves para dármelo todo,
pides el perdón convencida
Pero en el fondo sigo igual está bien claro que es fatal
Muy mal me ha ido sin ti en estos días,
sabes que no aguanto estar solo,
siempre has controlado mi vida,
pero en el fondo sigo igual está bien claro que es fatal,
si tú no estás
Casi un imposible seguir con lo nuestro,
es lo que siempre pienso pero me olvido de ello
Y cuando ya,
finalmente te he arrancado de mi vida regresas a cultivar
angustia en mi corazón,
aquí en mi fértil corazón
Vienes a ofrecerme la vida,
vuelves para dármelo todo,
pides el perdón convencida
Pero en el fondo sigo igual está bien claro que es fatal
Muy mal me ha ido sin ti en estos días,
sabes que no aguanto estar solo,
siempre has controlado mi vida,
porque en el fondo sigo igual está bien claro que es fatal,
si tú no estás
(Te vas o te quedas)
Como magia apareces y desapareces dejándome el alma
en la incertidumbre que duele y que quema
(Te vas o te quedas)
Debes decírmelo porque por fin sabré la verdad de este amor
si para ti solo es: juego, diversión o me quieres de veras
(Te vas o te quedas)

(Dime si te quedas o dime si te vas)
Que te quiero,que te adoro, tu no sabes si te da seguridad
(Dime si te quedas o dime si te vas)
Dime si te vas a quedar

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."
No Surprises
Radiohead

Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
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.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
