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"
Eh, it's Dre Da Flame from the Holy Bros
(yo yo yo yo Theo Rogers production)
All glory to God I'm here at Matrix Studios
Shout out to all the Holy Bros and everyone reppin' Christ
Verse 1:
Word up, love is the greatest
Workin' for the Lord so I know the world hate us
Headed to the church, peace out to haters
I serve God, that's why the Lord made us
God is realer than real, it's serious
Read your Bible, the world got you delirious
Seek out God, I know you a little curious
Faith in Christ is how God be curin' us
I flow like the rock that gave water
I do it for the Lord so I go harder
They don't like Christian rap so I go harder
If it ain't about God then I ain't part ya
La la la love is what I got
I've been transformed like an autobot
Head in my Bible, God is my idol
I trust God, he is so reliable
Chorus:
Ey, holy fire in my bones I'm blazin'
God's good so I can't stop swingin'
Turned up, I can't stop prayin'
Prayed up, I can't stop praisin'
Holy fire in my bones I'm blazin'
God's good so I can't stop swingin'
Turned up, I can't stop prayin'
Prayed up, I can't stop praisin'
Verse 2:
The fresh prince is comin' so you gotta get it right
And it's gonna come like a thief in the night
I'm walkin' by faith, I ain't walkin' by sight
Yes, me, I got a light, fresh braids we tight
Love your neighbor like you love yourself
Bible in my backpack, never on the shelf
Lord guide me so I don't get lost
Haters on my back but I shake them off
They try to bring me down but I cling to the cross
I'm different to the world like pants or criss-cross
Lord, I need wisdom, I don't want to be deceived
I can't see God but I know he's there like a breeze
God blessed me and I ain't even gotta sneeze
God is good to my body like a pot of peas
Dre Da Flame, I got that flame
Happy that I'm saved so I do that swing
Chorus:
Ey, holy fire in my bones I'm blazin'
God's good so I can't stop swingin'
Turned up, I can't stop prayin'
Prayed up, I can't stop praisin'
Holy fire in my bones I'm blazin'
God's good so I can't stop swingin'
Turned up, I can't stop prayin'
Prayed up, I can't stop praisin'
Verse 3:
(hah, alright, okay)
Fun ain't worth being high forever
I'm aiming for heaven with no beretta
It's V for virtuous, not vendetta
Believin' in God made me much better
Amen, have faith like Abraham
Takin' people to the church, I don't need no van
I believe in God, not Peter Pan
Gassed up off Christ, no meter man
I stay with the Word, no dictionary
I produce good fruit, no strawberry
My NLT is all I carry
God is in my heart, I am never scary
Eh, God bless me so much it's crazy
I'm born again, got me feelin' like a little baby
Chorus:
Ey, holy fire in my bones I'm blazin'
God's good so I can't stop swingin'
Turned up, I can't stop prayin'
Prayed up, I can't stop praisin'
Holy fire in my bones I'm blazin'
God's good so I can't stop swingin'
Turned up, I can't stop prayin'
Prayed up, I can't stop praisin'

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”
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."

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
