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"
Got no love for the Law-But I shed blood for my dog
Got no love for the Law-But I shed blood for my dog
(Krayzie:)
I've been tryin ta gather my niggaz from battle
We outta control we can't be handled
We sick of police and these scandals
44. Magnums bust'en at random at em
In the Middle of the Chaos
Tell'em we bust'en our shit at the mayor
If he get caught up there's nothing ta save ya
Gauge a spray ya break ya down to were
In front of the parkin lot
I'm murderin niggas that point to shoot it
If it ain't black owned than we loot it
Burn this bitch down, let's do it
We ain't marchin' we ain't talkin'
We keepin' an eye on the target
So as soon as the shit get started
We gone poppop papop that riot
Pumpin that Violence-ee (Violence)
POPO don't want peace
They want this robot in the streets with me and my T.H.U.G's
BITCH you freeze
You under arrest and you got the right to die
And guess who's pullin the switch
And I can't wait ta see ya fry
Got no love for the Law-But I shed blood for my dog
Got no love for the Law-But I shed blood for my dog
(Layzie:)
I never did have no love for the system man
Them laws ain't built to protect me
I'm just a nigga tryin ta live the american dream
When you wanna arrest me
And for WHAT
BeCause I'm shinning Blinging
Mad because I'm rhyming Singing
Got too much money Got too many guns
Yo pitiful life ain't got no meaning
And I know you Scheming
LIL Burna done got legit now
Bitch you sit on the ground you get on the ground
You ain't talking that shit now
Wanna spit rounds we can go there
Capo bring that regime and handle it
Capo just strapped with Tec's and nine's
For busten in the sky gotta grenade launcher
Ain't nothing to do today
So what I'm a do I'm a bust on tha cops
Shoot tha street lights out on the block dial 911 sit back and watch
I can hear them sirens comin
I'm a teach these fools not to fuck with me
And The outcome was a catastrophe
Do this once a week till my brothers free
Got no love for the Law-But I shed blood for my dog
Got no love for the Law-But I shed blood for my dog
(Bizzy:)
United we stand divided we fall
For the same bullshit like snipers on Whitehouse lawn's
On that goodshit
Niggas from Compton to Africa
On that thug shit
Reginold Deney No Comment
I lost my blood with the death of Carlos Davis Lord
I can't love shit
That's the fullest extent that's giving
I'm above this deception I know they intentions
With sworrrds made by Smith N Wesson
Pullin me weapon embracin me Lorrrd
Feel the spirtual ressurection through my porrres
When the souls of the Outlaws at war
No College Scholarships jus' Calibers and Clips
On the Blockwarrior plottin on Kingpin Licks
Flip Burgers I jus' can't see it
I'm a face mo c.r.e.a.m. with BONE THUGS in one night
No Secret
Fuck The Feds it ain't no love at all for me
They pull me over with Police Dogs
Lickin my Scrotum
Got no love for the Law-But I shed blood for my dog
Got no love for the Law-But I shed blood for my dog
(Wish:)
See Young Thug could tell me nothing
Ya Fuck up I Shed blood
Gotta leave this world with somethan
A realer nigga with more than I can handle
The Drugs was at so that's were a mack Got caught up in a scandal
Police ain't right and we ain't neither
Everybody want something equal
Listen up my people
We gotta down get down for, right Now!
Nigga fuck yo people
And this is how we all (all) dream to get paid (paid)
Got us thinkin he's one of a kind he's better than everybody destroyin dreams
But don't you listen we can rise above it above it
Nine times outta ten don't fuck that
Cause they gon love it
Quit fuckin with my people
Wonder why
We react
These strong need to be left alone
Yeaa
And that's a fact
Got no love for the Law-But I shed blood for my dog
Got no love for the Law-But I shed blood for my dog
Got no love for the Law-But I shed blood for my dog
Got no love for the Law-But I shed blood for my dog
Got no love for the Law-But I shed blood for my dog

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."
American Town

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
