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"
Ah, swamp (swamp) rat in the labyrinth hunting derriere-e
Skeletal vessel crashed where the liquid meets the prairie (Riiight)
Limper lung stability speeches bumped into infantry
Simply smile, write it, ran victory
My tenants blanket the banquet
Thank it and shank it, sank into my prayers
Let the steam roll off the lip off the kettle
My block contracts and drips in a bucket of bums
Drunk with nine planets
For the simple panic they won't even share a cup with the sun (son)
Flow commits the blaze harassment of my entrapment's fragments
Open the ??? leaf plus modest play adaption
I'M OLD
A creak and a rusty hinge notified
Every marketplace commoner marked amongst as DUSTBIN
Gotta rope and a slogan pig but can't finger their motives
Surgeons work the ??? suture broken devotions
.................... (but wha?)
A story telling casualities about magic on a rotten day
... but was?
... I'm already NOOOO
When i tell you about the fish that got away.
I walk a bridge of tin cans hold my flag within hands
Varnished the tarnished skeletal frame setting on a devil tin-man
Atoms (Atoms Family) taught me about an Iron Galaxy where I sleep
But I'm trying to find if my tin figures
Are special or obsolete
I dash the dreams with an attraction to the captions set the bottom
Here lies a tailor made slave nozzle
I can feel the reminents of your devilish smile
Offered it's playland but
Id rather play the sun and let it fade
Let it fade
Like a tale in winter
Staring in to the realm
Of a nine headed monster MC at the helm
Call it the dragon coaster
But this ain't play land
Adjust the Ray Bans
As we lay back and lax in luxury
With best laid plans (Damn!)
It's clearly my intention to rock
Each and every single time my needle drops
See I eat a lot of rhymes at real time served hot
Maybe drink em straight up or pour it on the rocks
When you're not competition for the shell shocked
The cinematic on the mic will leave it swell knots
Get up, were on a war path with the peace staff
Well if you don't get it
Well shit, at least laugh
Laugh
Definitely dedicated to the craft
Well pay attention you don't even know the half
Yo check it out
(Scratched in)... thank you and have a good night
...Have a good night

@[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."

Amazing

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.
