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"
The face I'm beating with my fist
Is pulverized and turned to shit
So all that's left when he is gone
Is skin and blood and pulp and bone
This fucker thought that he could try
And fuck with me, no reason why,
So now he got what he deserved
A coffin with his grave reserved
Where has all the common sense gone?
Can't these fuckers leave the shit alone?
Always trying to start some stupid shit
The obituary page is full of it
No death's on my conscience
['Cause] they challenged and they lost
No final resistance,
Fuck it, it's not my loss
Gonna fuck it up
Fuckin' bring it down
The motherfuckers dead
Don't ask me why they had to die
I try to live my fucking life
They are the ones that fucked with me
They paid the price with agony
As the force from anger erupts
Out from deep inside of me
Not a fucking chance to live
Just you bleeding
Cause of death can not be found
Corpses layed out on the floor
Hyper-violent chaos rush
All-out fucking total war
Your [=you're] dead,
Adrenaline rush,
Unleashed pain feed,
You fucking bleed
I kill once
So then I kill twice,
Revenge, your death,
The final ending released
The face I'm beating with my fist
Is pulverized and turned to shit
So all that's left when he is gone
Is skin and blood and pulp and bone
This fucker thought that he could try
And fuck with me, no reason why,
So now he got what he deserved
A coffin with his grave reserved
Where has all the common sense gone?
Can't these fuckers leave the shit alone?
Always trying to start some stupid shit
The obituary page is full of it
No death's on my conscience
['Cause] they challenged and they lost
No final resistance,
Fuck it, it's not my loss
I will bring you fucking down
Beating on the face of broken trust
All I want is a chance to fuck your life up
You had to turn your back on everything we did
And I won't stop until your [=you're] dead
Now I take it back to '93
When the shit went down between you and me
Just like a bitch you had to run away
But revenge finally has paid
Now I bring you back for all to see
In case another fucker wants to take a shot at me
And kill the mother fuckers before they try to run
No remorse when I am done
Gonna fuck it up
Fuckin' bring it down
The motherfuckers dead
Don't ask me why they had to die
I try to live my fucking life
They are the ones that fucked with me
They paid the price with agony
Is pulverized and turned to shit
So all that's left when he is gone
Is skin and blood and pulp and bone
This fucker thought that he could try
And fuck with me, no reason why,
So now he got what he deserved
A coffin with his grave reserved
Where has all the common sense gone?
Can't these fuckers leave the shit alone?
Always trying to start some stupid shit
The obituary page is full of it
No death's on my conscience
['Cause] they challenged and they lost
No final resistance,
Fuck it, it's not my loss
Gonna fuck it up
Fuckin' bring it down
The motherfuckers dead
Don't ask me why they had to die
I try to live my fucking life
They are the ones that fucked with me
They paid the price with agony
As the force from anger erupts
Out from deep inside of me
Not a fucking chance to live
Just you bleeding
Cause of death can not be found
Corpses layed out on the floor
Hyper-violent chaos rush
All-out fucking total war
Your [=you're] dead,
Adrenaline rush,

They paid the price with agony

@[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."
Magical

Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
ADRENILINE IS MY FUEL
you sound like a killer lordgore........... dying fetus is just awesome, what else can I say.
DYING FETUS IS the shit
dying fetus is so fuckin badass.. this whole album just blows me away. this song is the song that basically introduced me to/got me hooked on death metal
i love this song. my favorite part is "corpses layed out on the floor,hyper-violent chaos rush, all-out fucking total war...." this is my favorite song by them. i think its about people being dumb and pissing him off. hes obviously not going to take it.
This song has some of the best breakdown riffs ever!
