Like a lot of the other comments are saying, I think this mainly about voyeurism. If the song was about his girlfriend, then why would he use the word spy. If you are a spy it means you shouldn't be caught, that is kind of the whole point, and if you are a voyeur, the whole point of the pleasure you get from it, is the fact that the other people don't know you are watching them. See a bit of a connection there?
It still feels like our first night together
Feels like the first kiss
It's getting better baby
No one can better this
Still holding on
You're still the one
First time our eyes met
Same feeling I get
Only feels much stronger
I want to love you longer
Do you still turn the fire on?
So if you're feeling lonely, don't
You're the only one I'll ever want
I only want to make it good
So if I love you, a little more than I should
Please forgive me, I know not what I do
Please forgive me, I can't stop loving you
Don't deny me, this pain I'm going through
Please forgive me, if I need you like I do
Please believe me, every word I say is true
Please forgive me, I can't stop loving you
Still feels like our best times are together
Feels like the first touch
We're still getting closer baby
Can't get closer enough
Still holding on
You're still number one

I remember you yeah
I remember the nights, you know I still do

This song is def a twin to "Unfair" (a song she has been quoted as saying is about falling in love with someone who is already in a relationship) so it is presumably about the same person. Given the references to buying an apartment and not being able to see her love interest "after tonight," it's most likely that she's moving away and she'll "wait a day to break the bad news" (i.e. notifying him that she's leaving once she's already gone).
And, of course, the fact that she sees in him a fellow "idealist" and "dreamer" (terms commonly given to people with the INFP personality on the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)) portends that she'll always be left wondering if they would've been perfect together.
The Night We Met
Lord Huron
Lord Huron
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 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."
Have you ever loved somebody so much that you're overwhelmed by it and thus push the other person away because you can't handle what you feel for them?
I think this is what our Bryan is trying to convey.
I have.<br /> I did.<br /> :(
I think this songs has two sides of a meaning...one is that he wants her bacc because he regrets what he's done and...2...is someone who is still in love w/ and old lover...who cant seem to let go..and is asking for forgiveness...because they cant do it... Well, to me i think its #2 rite now...i love this song... i think its great...it gets me really emotional... :'( I wish i could let this pain pass, but it wont go away...i'm sorrie Grouch...i cant stop loving you...your my first, my last, my only...please forgive me...
I really think this song is amazing. I think he is in love with someone so much that he is saying forgive me if its like overwhelming, he only wants to be with this one person. the line that means the most to me is, "Still holdin' on, you're still the one First time our eyes met - same feelin' I get
it reminds me of my boyfriend. :)
For me, this song is about a man who is deeply in love with his girlfriend or a girl who he has a relationship with. It's not that he did anything to hurt her, its not that he left her, I think it just that he has never had a relationship that has meant this much. And this relationship is everything to him, it is his life, this girl, his girl is his life.
I think he hurts when he can't be with her/when she's gone ("this pain i'm going through"), every moment to him is amazing/something new/the most meaningful to him because he loves her so much ("still feels like our first night together"), and that no matter what, he is trying to tell her he will always be there and he will only ever want her.
He wants everything to be perfect for her. But because this type of relationship is new to him, he worries that maybe he will overwhelm her but no matter what, he cant stop loving her and he just wants her to know that, that he will always love her, he remembers every moment they've ever shared (and will never forget them), he wants them to always be together and he is just trying to tell her that "I'm sorry, I cant change the way I feel, it will never change, please, forgive me for loving you as much as I do"...
...Yeah... I know all may thoughts on this song are muddled and mixed and heard to read... I love this song... My fiance played it for me when we were at the coast one weekend and he sang it for me... It just has more meaning then almost any other song. I love it.
It is definitely one of those flashback songs which get us all thinking about that special someone, or simply desiring that special someone, For me, it gets me all nostalgic, since i keep relating it to a girl whom i know, who always has this sad look plastered on her face, just dreaming of the day i could go "So if your feeling lonely doonnnnnttt, your the only one, i ever waaannnnntt!" and she'll just fall into my arms..wow
This song has a double meaning and was purposely left for interpretation. This song means 1) This person made a bad mistake in the past, which has now made him realize that he wants and needs her even more than before, or 2) This person is apologizing to her because his love for her may overwhelm her at times so he is in advance apologizing for it, he doesn't want her to be overwhelmed, yet only wants her to realize that the love he has is true and that he would only be happy with her... I personally believe it is number 2, but like I said it can be left up to interpretation...Nonetheless it is an amazing song and always makes me think about my ex girlfriend Robin, I Love You...
This is one of the best love songs of all time. It always moves me to tears. To me, it means that he is just so head-over-heels in love with her and he's asking her to forgive him if he loves her too much, if it's overwhelming, too intense. I sometimes wonder if this intense passion exists much anymore?? Hmm. This would be an incredible song for a couple who've been together for so many years. Kind of like the song "you're still the one"
quite possibly the most beautiful song ever written .. a situation with a person in my life matches the lyrics perfectly as we are right now going through a difficult time. the "first time our eyes met", i fell in love with him, and I still get the same feeling even to this day. I will never forget our first kiss or any of our other firsts together. I love this man more than I have loved anyone or anything and the "one thing i'm sure of" is that I need him in my life. I think the song is about loving someone too much, and almost pushing them away. sometimes if this happens we need to stop and remind them that we are doing it uninentionally, and not to hurt or smother them..
this song hits me close to home, right now.. i hope he can someday forgive me.. he's so amazing in every little way. his arms were my home of the strongest stone. but even the strongest stone, when knicked in the wrong place.. can shatter a thousand pieces, and one big lovable heart. and to me, he was perfect in every way. i just want him to know most of all, he is strong. unfathomably strong. no matter anybody says. i loved him so much, i got scared.. my insecurities from my past relationship got passed into our own.. it's not what i want.. that's never what i wanted at all. i never meant to take those things out on you.. we were a team. we were supposed to tackle these things together. i regret that sometimes i forgot.. that you are the one on my side.. you saved me in the first place. you are my hero. and my best friend. we've been through so much.. i've learned truly, my snugglesoldier. i've learned.. you are on my side. and you weren't going to go anywhere. i believe it with all my heart. i feel it, everywhere. no more pain. just unconditional love. i'm here for you, no matter what happens to us. i miss your gentle touch, honey.. and i'd give it all for a second chance to be the one to feel safe in your loving embrace, and to be the one to kiss away all your tears.
"Please forgive me... I know not what I do. Please forgive me... I can't stop lovin' you.. Don't deny me... This pain I'm going through... Please forgive me... If I need you like I do. Please believe me... Every word I say is true. Please forgive me... I can't stop lovin' you..."
please.. one more fight to rid Do Has of that evil thunder cloud.. and bring out that brightest sun that lights up our hearts, and draws our spirits together, as one.
eternally yours, Laura.
You brought tears to my eyes...
I remember the smell of your skin, I remember everything. I remember all your moves - I remember you, yeah So simple, yet so explicit. Great song. Great arrangement as well
