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"
Mello made it right
Throw that ass, go crazy (Go crazy)
Got this Glock, do 'em janky (Boom, boom, boom, boom)
Rich gang, no Baby (Rich gang)
Broke bitches, your attention don't pay me
Hellcat, powerglide, no Swae Lee
All these diamonds Roc Nation, like Jay-Z
Bitch, you know the game like I'm KE (KE)
If I drown in that pussy, don't save me
Pull up in a Bentley, it's a big body (Big body)
Speaking on the gang, you gon' get bodied (Damn)
All these diamonds on my neck, bitch, I'm drip-dropping (Drip-drop)
Think it's funny, girl that drink, watch me Chris Rock it
Big .40 and it's on me, nigga always (Nigga)
Ain't no broke niggas around me, bitch, we all paid
Getting head from a sucka bitch all day
And if you got a problem, we ain't trippin', we got all K's, nigga
If your nigga died, then we know you ain't gon' slide
Talking all that tough shit, we know you ain't that guy
Hella big booty bitches, I'm in LA with the vibes
Ass up, face down, when I hit it from behind
Throw that ass, go crazy (Go crazy)
Got this Glock, do 'em janky (Boom, boom, boom, boom)
Rich gang, no Baby (Rich gang)
Broke bitches, your attention don't pay me
Hellcat, powerglide, no Swae Lee
All these diamonds Roc Nation, like Jay-Z
Bitch, you know the game like I'm KE (KE)
If I drown in that pussy, don't save me
And when you ask about that juice, you know T.O. got it
I don't really know them niggas, but I heard about 'em
SOBxRBE, bitch we the topic
And since them niggas caught me slipping, I don't leave without it
You know I used to ride the bus, now I'm foreign driving
Bitch, I'm the shit, like a porta potty
And I don't even gotta slide, I just order bodies
Niggas talking like they balling, hit the quarter bodies
Bounce out with that mask, like I'm Marshmello
Riding in that Bumblebee, 'cause my car yellow
Smoking on that purple like I'm Donatello
I've been running up that bag, got no time to settle
Throw that ass, go crazy (Go crazy)
Got this Glock, do 'em janky (Boom, boom, boom, boom)
Rich gang, no Baby (Rich gang)
Broke bitches, your attention don't pay me
Hellcat, powerglide, no Swae Lee
All these diamonds Roc Nation, like Jay-Z
Bitch, you know the game like I'm KE (KE)
If I drown in that pussy, don't save me
If I drown in that pussy, you better not save me
I put 200 on dash, I know these cops hate me
And she gon' do what I say, but she ain't my lady
Don't put your trust up on us because the mob shady
And I'm the man with the birds, but I am not Baby
What T.O. spent on this kit, about a soft eighty
Flexing your chop on the 'Gram 'til it got raided
And all I speak is the real, boy I cannot fake it
Nigga, you ain't acting, name a great for us
And how the fuck you want the smoke, but scared to take a puff?
And I ain't feeding to the stories niggas making up
And I will not do your verse if you ain't paying up
Bitch

Little Feat
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”
Holiday
Bee Gees
Bee Gees
@[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."
