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"
Let's plan a robbery (a robbery, let's go)
Let's plan a robbery (a robbery)
Let's plan a robbery (a robbery, let's go)
Let's plan a robbery (a robbery)
See I was on the North, North side in the projects Cutterfield
And that where the the dope dealer nigga really live
See they sold crack, and they sold weed too
They specialize in cooking up the dope, fool
To get it out, so the junkies can smoke too
But me my nigga, I been smoking out you
And you, and you, 'cause y'all been cutting up, dude
I think I'mma gonna have to touch your ass with the tool
It's easy come, easy go, y'all know the rule
HCP motherfucker, you know I'll cut loose
And if you got it, I'mma have to touch you
Like knocking on your door and holler, "Trick-or-treat, fool"
It's hard here, motherfucker, don't let the side choose
A robbery to a murdery, that's cool
So any way that you want it, I got you
It's one the hard way, nigga, so fuck you
Let's plan a robbery (a robbery, let's go)
Let's plan a robbery (a robbery)
Let's plan a robbery (a robbery, let's go)
Let's plan a robbery (a robbery)
You see good with this yay, but I'm better with these guns
I'm at your door to collect these funds
I'm good with this yay, but I'm better with these guns
I'm at your door to collect these funds
I ran up in his spot with the Glock, his jaw dropped
He knew I came for money and the weight I heard he got
I cracked him in the middle of his face with the tone
Tied his ass up and ransacked his home
I had to rape his bitch 'cause the ho was stacked
I fucked her from the back with my gun to her back
I left up out his crib with dollar and purple hat
But eventually got caught because of a dick hair, fuck
Don't let me find out that you got that dope
Don't let me find out that you snitching on folks
Don't let me find out that you tryna get rich
Riding 'round the fuckin' hood and make fun of niggas' shit
Don't let me find out, feds tap a nigga phone
Don't let me find out, 'cause if I find out it's on
Don't let me find out that niggas sellin' purple drank
'Cause I'mma rob all them fools like I robbed twenty banks (yeah)
Let's plan a robbery (a robbery, let's go)
Let's plan a robbery (a robbery)
Let's plan a robbery (a robbery, let's go)
Let's plan a robbery (a robbery)
You see good with this yay, but I'm better with these guns
I'm at your door to collect these funds
I'm good with this yay, but I'm better with these guns
I'm at your door to collect these funds

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.

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.
Page

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
