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"
Isabelle a les yeux bleus
Isabelle a les yeux bleus
Isabelle a les yeux bleus
Bleus les yeux Isabelle a
Soudain quand elle est partie
J'ai vu qu'elle n'était plus là
Et comme elle n'était plus là
Je m'suis dit "elle est partie"
Dans la nuit noire
Dans la nuit noire et obscure
Obscure et sombre
Qu'Isabelle s'est cognée contre les murs (les murs)
Isabelle a les yeux bleus
Isabelle a les yeux bleus
Isabelle a les yeux bleus
Bleus les yeux Isabelle a
Y a plus d'espoir
Dans la nuit noire
Sur le quai de la gare
Dans le brouillard
Il faisait un froid de canard
Heu les mecs j'ai plus de rimes en ar
C'est pas grave on continue la chanson (chanson)
Isabelle a les yeux bleus
Isabelle a les yeux bleus
Bleus les yeux Isabelle a
Isa bleus belle a les yeux
Oh, le solo de guitare
Oh, monstrueux
Oh, merde, merde, attends j'comprends pas là
Eh, les mecs si on faisait un plan en anglais
On va conquir l'Europe
Isabelle has the blue eyes
Isabelle has the blue eyes
Isabelle eyes blue
Blue eyes Isabelle est naze
C'était trop tard quand j'ai su qu'elle me quittait
Qu'elle nous quittait je l'ai su oui
Que oui que très très tard (tard tard)
Isabelle a les yeux bleus
Isabelle a les yeux bleus
Isabelle a les yeux bleus
Bleus les yeux Isabelle a
Isabelle lorsque je t'ai rencontrée pour la première fois
Tu avais les yeux bleus
Et lorsque tu m'as quitté
Tu avais toujours les yeux bleus
Heu, c'est normal
Sur le quai de la gare
J'ai voulu la rattraper
C'était trop tard
Son avion venait juste de décoller ('coller)
Oh, les mecs, je viens de trouver un accord à la guitare complètement monstrueux
Vas-y, vas-y
Ecoutez
Monstrueux, monstrueux
Tu vois c'est pas compliqué
Tu vois tu mets le doigt là, tu vois
Et après tu fais comme ça, regarde
c'est monstrueux
Ouais, ouais, ouais, ouais
Oh, la la, c'est complètement d'enfer
L'éclate totale tu vois
Ah, je vais vous dire les mecs
Ça va être monstrueux
Isabelle a les yeux bleus
Isabelle a les yeux bleus
Bleus les yeux Isabelle a
Soudain quand elle est partie
J'ai vu qu'elle n'était plus là
Et comme elle n'était plus là
Je m'suis dit "elle est partie"
Dans la nuit noire
Dans la nuit noire et obscure

@[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.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
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."
