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"
I'm not too young and I'm not too old
Listen up everybody
This ain't Aaron's party
Part two, I'm older now
Come and show me body
Girl, whatcha gonna do
Come and talk to me in the backseat
Baby backstreet
We could surf the board
Surf the net, better yet
We could make a little bet
If we get together, yo, it's gonna be da bomb
Hit me all baby, Aaron Carter dot com
See when it comes to girls
I'm not too young
Babyface back upon the scene
But when I get in trouble
Hey, I'm not so old
I put my cap way down
And say I'm thirteen-years-old
That's how we roll
Throw your hands up now
Let the music take control
This is how we roll
I'm not too young, and I'm not too old
Here we go
Throw your hands up now
Let the music take control
This is how we roll
I'm not too young, I'm not too old
It's A to the A to the are O N
I'm all growin' up now
Run and tell your friend
It's all sewn up now
Where do I begin?
Don't even playa hate
Tryin' to say I look ten
Imma tellin' you again
I'm all up in da video
Catch me in the studio
That's my life bro. It's in my blood
Hey, it ain't my fault
You want to step to me
We can take it to the asphalt
Shoot some hoops
Slam dunk the funk
Battle on the rollerblades
You're callin' me a punk
Bring on the skateboards
Or the BMX. Show me what you got
Is that all? Please, next
I'll wipe the floor with you
Where's the concentration
Don't even talk about the Sony PlayStation
I'll make it happen if it's games that you want
Aaron Carter got you open
Don't front, don't front
Let's roll
Throw your hands up now
Let the music take control
This is how we roll
I'm not too young, and I'm not too old
Here we go
Throw your hands up now
Let the music take control
This is how we roll
I'm not too young, I'm not too old
He's steppin' out with the older boys
Cover up your ears 'cause we're makin that noise
He's steppin' out with the younger girls
Cover up your eyes 'cause we rock the world
He's steppin' out with the older boys
Cover up your ears 'cause we're makin that noise
He's steppin out with the younger girls
Cover up your eyes 'cause we rock the world
See, when it comes to takin'
All the girls for a cruise in my ride
All I need is pillows
Hello. I'm not too young
My cellular rung
Switch it off, yo
Hit me on the pager
A real teenager, with a fake beard
Battin' in the majors
That's how we roll
And when it suits me
I'm anywhere between 12 and 18-years-old
Here we go
Throw your hands up now
Let the music take control
This is how we roll
I'm not too young, and I'm not too old
Here we go
Throw your hands up now
Let the music take control
This is how we roll
I'm not too young, I'm not too old
Here we go
Throw your hands up now
Let the music take control
This is how we roll
I'm not too young, and I'm not too old
Here we go
Throw your hands up now
Let the music take control
This is how we roll
I'm not too young, I'm not too old
Listen up everybody
This ain't Aaron's party
Part two, I'm older now

Come and talk to me in the backseat

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”
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 was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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.
Remind me a lot about my high school days....
I love this song, personally...I've seen him perform it in concert numerous times and even once with Nick. I have to admit, I'm biased towards the Carter boys, but Aaron's got a lot of talent...and as soon as puberty hits, he's gonna be a force to reckon with. Trust me, the boy will go places.
um yeah. and ur messed up re-fuck.
hey if you don't like aaron carter why are you looking at his lyrics?????¿
kids who haven't reached puberty trying to rap... and they have fans. The world has gone to hell.
And I'm only looking up his lyrics because I want to put my opinion on it. That's what Songmeanings is for. Yeah, I'm done, now insult me, thats what you people always do.
