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"
Red Bull in my hands, feels like I got wings
Lotta people in my face, but I can't hear a thing
It's like my heads up in the clouds, heads up in the clouds
And I ain't coming down, no
Just turn the music on, just let me get lost
I swear that I"ma lose it if somebody turns it off
What are you out your mind?
You must be out your mind
Just turn the music up, turn the music up
Turn the music up
Turn the music up
Turn the music up
Snap back on my head, I'm so motivated
Nike's on my feet, understand the situation
This is not a game, this is not a game
You ain't gon' bring me down, no
Yeah I mean what I say, and I say what I mean
You best wipe off that hater look before you make me scream
What are you out your mind?
You must be out your mind
Just turn the music, turn the music up
Turn the music up
Turn the music up
Turn the music up
Turn the music up
I got the adrenaline
Rhyme like I'm a veteran
Fine, I've been ahead of the
Game, no way I'm settlin'
Drained, but I'ma get it in
Lame this is a medicine
Hey, you get the medic kit
Beats, 'cause I don't let 'em live
Fast, better keep pedalin'
Blast you with the pen again
Laugh, but I'm ahead of them
Act, like I don't get it then
That is when I enter in
Rap until I never can
Cash, it is irrelevant
Passion is the element
Laps around these other men
Pass 'em, who you runnin' with
Facts, is what I'm coming with
Back, but I ain't never left
Swift, but I will never get
Wack, you better get a grip
Last isn't a medal it's glass and I'ma shatter it
Who do you think you battling?
Who do you think you laughing at?
I am not a comedian, man it don't even matter
If you don't know what I'm saying, you better do what the chorus says
You don't know what the chorus says?
Turn it up on the choruses
Turn the music up
You must be out your mind
Turn the music up
You must be out your mind
Turn the music up
You must be out your mind
Turn the music up
Turn the music up
Turn the music up
You must be out your mind
Turn the music up
You must be out your mind
Turn the music up
You must be out your mind
Turn the music up
Turn the music up
Turn the music
Turn the music
Up
You must be out your mind
You must be
Lotta people in my face, but I can't hear a thing
It's like my heads up in the clouds, heads up in the clouds
And I ain't coming down, no
Just turn the music on, just let me get lost
I swear that I"ma lose it if somebody turns it off
What are you out your mind?
You must be out your mind
Just turn the music up, turn the music up
Turn the music up
Turn the music up
Turn the music up
Snap back on my head, I'm so motivated
Nike's on my feet, understand the situation
This is not a game, this is not a game
You ain't gon' bring me down, no
Yeah I mean what I say, and I say what I mean
You best wipe off that hater look before you make me scream
What are you out your mind?
You must be out your mind
Just turn the music, turn the music up
Turn the music up
Turn the music up
Turn the music up
Turn the music up
I got the adrenaline

You must be out your mind
Turn the music up
Turn the music up
Turn the music
Turn the music
Up
You must be out your mind
You must be

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."
I Can't Go To Sleep

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

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.
