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"
Ever wonder how one days so blessed and the next is cursed
Cause what you do in a day effects the whole universe
It�s mysterious but here it is energy swells
From lands full of sand to the liberty bell
From advanced organisms to single cells
From those living in heaven to those dwelling in hell
Yesterday talking bout something don�t prevail
The power of 24 hours can change and compel
Mr. closely, we still just strangers still
One day a child�s born with its brains of bill
One first at a time, I live mine through music
One day a teacher but always a student
Don�t wanna be free baby, ill make it one day
Don�t wanna be free baby, ill make it one day
Some days go quicker than Amtrak
Momentum got me thinking so stand back
He stands back to his benzyl baby
Never let a stiff religion make me crazy
It aint worth it (no)
Picture it to make it perfect
It can build to protect measurements like my verses
Has me verses the world and all its curses
Has me working the evil I�m not a servant
I�m murdered by the fact I�m on my own track
Phone back �cause I�m busy it can really get worn down
Despite my family in group I�m out the loop
But we superior and ready to count as loop
Don�t wanna be free baby, ill make it one day
Don�t wanna be free baby, ill make it one day
Don�t wanna be free baby, ill make it one day
Don�t wanna be free baby, that�s all I got to say
One love, one sun
Wanna know where your time is going when you�re under a gun
I got one fight, one breath
I think ill breath a little deeper until I got outta left
I run away from death every time that I speak
I gotta keep my breathing in tune to when I�m a leave
I think its seasoning to the reasoning to when I have a beautiful talk
I am the rotten a and confiding in your dreaming
You see you�ll never be yourself in this
Don�t forget all if that and get selfish
I�m a gift from the sky in the FBI
I ain�t nothing anything until the day I die
One day I�ll want that you�ll have some trouble with
In one day cause the next day I�ll want to double it
Then triple it, I�m sitting here tripping wake
Keeping this ridiculous vigorous akon jay
I want to take away but I don�t want to be forgotten
So I�m plotting a scheme of screaming demons
Going through my mind in nightmares and day dreaming
That�s a close comparison I was drunk during most of the moments of trash
And at least I can�t remember all the shit that I was passing
Swing swings, extreme highs and lows
One day we�ll see that we�ve got miles to go
Don�t wanna be free baby, ill make it one day
Don�t wanna be free baby, ill make it one day
Don�t wanna be free baby, ill make it one day
Don�t wanna be free baby, that�s all I got to say
I�ll make it one day, catch my on the runway,
Saturday Sunday, find me in the sunrays
That�s all I got to say, Sometimes its funnay
That I can feel this way, I�ll make it one day ooo
Cause what you do in a day effects the whole universe
It�s mysterious but here it is energy swells
From lands full of sand to the liberty bell
From advanced organisms to single cells
From those living in heaven to those dwelling in hell
Yesterday talking bout something don�t prevail
The power of 24 hours can change and compel
Mr. closely, we still just strangers still
One day a child�s born with its brains of bill
One first at a time, I live mine through music
One day a teacher but always a student
Don�t wanna be free baby, ill make it one day
Don�t wanna be free baby, ill make it one day

@[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.

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.
