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"
Fall down
Can't pick myself up off the ground
Head down
I see catastrophe
And it's right in front of me
Mother, father, please don't me choose between you
I love both of you
Mother, please, all I want to be is just little me
Father, please, all I want to be is you're son
No fair
Trespass the tiny mind of a child
Despair
In my world surrounds me
It's immerse me
Rips right through me
Remember
The day they told me, I'm so scared
Suffer
My wounds not healing
Mother, please, all I want to be is just little me
Father, please, all I want to be is your son
Sometimes
In dark my mind will roam
To a time
I spent alone
As a child, as a small boy
As a child, as a small boy
I remember times as a child I knew
As for my love, I still see it
I remember times as a child I knew
Too many moralisists in my life
I knew times as a child I know
I looked into my father's eyes
I remember times as a child when I looked
And I screamed
I still scream, and I say
Look at what you did to me
See what you did to me
Look at what you did to me
See what you did to me
Look at what you did to me
See what you did to me
Look at what you did to me
See what you did to me
Look at what you did to me
See what you did to me
Look at what you did to me
See what you did to me
Look at what you did to me
See what you did to me
I died that day
All I want to say
Mother, please, all I want to be is a little deep inside of you
Father, please, all I want to be is a little back inside of you
What now?
Fuck you!
What now?
Fuck you!
What now?
Fuck you!
What now?
Fuck you!
What now?
Fuck!
Can't pick myself up off the ground
Head down
I see catastrophe
And it's right in front of me
Mother, father, please don't me choose between you
I love both of you
Mother, please, all I want to be is just little me
Father, please, all I want to be is you're son
No fair
Trespass the tiny mind of a child
Despair
In my world surrounds me
It's immerse me
Rips right through me
Remember
The day they told me, I'm so scared
Suffer
My wounds not healing
Mother, please, all I want to be is just little me
Father, please, all I want to be is your son
Sometimes
In dark my mind will roam
To a time
I spent alone
As a child, as a small boy
As a child, as a small boy
I remember times as a child I knew
As for my love, I still see it
I remember times as a child I knew
Too many moralisists in my life
I knew times as a child I know
I looked into my father's eyes
I remember times as a child when I looked
And I screamed
I still scream, and I say
Look at what you did to me
See what you did to me
Look at what you did to me
See what you did to me
Look at what you did to me
See what you did to me
Look at what you did to me
See what you did to me
Look at what you did to me
See what you did to me
Look at what you did to me
See what you did to me
Look at what you did to me
See what you did to me
I died that day
All I want to say
Mother, please, all I want to be is a little deep inside of you
Father, please, all I want to be is a little back inside of you
What now?
Fuck you!
What now?
Fuck you!
What now?
Fuck you!
What now?
Fuck you!
What now?
Fuck!

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."

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.

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.

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.
This is about divorce. It's from the perspective of a child who is confussed. He also wishes he was never born when he says
Mother please, all i want to be is a little deep inside of you Father please, all i want to be is a little me back inside of you .
This is a pretty cool song.
yes, these are one of my favorite mudvayne songs, and it's easy to tell it is about a divorce in a child's perspective.
yeah this song is definitely awesome...its also definitely about a divorce from a child's perspective...something a lot of people can relate to for sure
Mother father please dont make me choose between you-that line pretty much says it's obviously about divorce.
one of mudvayne's best songs in my opinion
@kurtcobain production was terrible though
They need to start playing these songs live.
yeah, this song is awesome. im suprised so few have commented on it.
actually, this is one of my favorate songs. i love the lyrics and the way there sung. my favorite part is mther please, all i want to be is a little deep inside of you Father please, all i want to be is a little me back inside of you. i bet a lot of kids could relate to that part. since a lot of younger children think its thir fault their parents split. a lot prolly wish they could die.
Brilliant song that relates almost 100% my parents were never their for me now i actually found someone they want to take her away from me rotten world
woo hoo! i'm gonna go see MuDvAyNe on March 28th...yeah...woo!
