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"
(Gahndi Accent)
Don't player hate me, player hate somebody else
Yo, yo yo I'm a gangster
Where my dogs at?
Bark with me if your my dog
Yo yo yo, I'm gonna give a shout out to all the player haters
(I don't like player haters)
If your a player hater don't player hate on me
(player hate somebody else)
I'm a gangster, I'm straight up
(straight up gangster, dude)
Gr I'm steaming mad, grr
I'm a gangster, I'm a straight up G
The gangster life is the life for me
Shooting people by day, selling drugs by night
Being a gangster is hella tight
I walk around town with a stark erection, then gave your mom a yeast infection
I saw the police man and I punched him in the eye
To serve and protect, what a lie!
I also don't like white people, you shouldn't too
And don't get me started about the jews
I'm a gangster
Grr I'm mad
I'm a gangster
My rhymes are bad
I'm a gangster
I'm iced out like a freezer
I'm a gangster
I don't listen to Weezer
I dropped out of school at the age of 3
(Why?)
Cuz all the teachers tried to player hate on me
(oh)
My rhymes are cool just like doing cocaine
My rhymes are hot like a burning flame
Sisqo is my homie, he's a gangster too
Me and Sisqo are the leaders of the gangster crew
I like to be in jail and he likes to sing and dance
Some say we're the perfect match
(Step off, step back, step away, step back, don't step forward, back, don't step forwards, step backwards, forwards don't step to me, do not step to me!)
I'm giving a shout out to my homies in Cell Block 8
Being in jail sucks cuz you always have to masturbate
Except when a Jewish person goes to jail all my homies cheer
They will make mince meat out of his rear
Ben Petty helped me make the gangster beat to this song
I shot him in the face cuz he looked at me wrong
I'm a gangster
I drop bombs like Heroshima
I'm a gangster
Bitch, suck on my wiener
I'm a gangster
I drive a cool car
I'm a gangster
I smoke weed in a cigar
Yo, my gangster flow
Yo, yo yo yo
I'm rolling on dubs iced out like hockey
My friend got kicked out of Japan for drinking all the saki
What a bitch
Gimmie head, ho
What's up to my dawgs
Yo yo yo
They play my song on the radio all day long
So everyone can hear my gangster song
Nobody thought I'd blow up like a firestone tire
Oh there's no beat left
(shooting)
Die, Die evil Santa Clause
no i don't wanna do accapello
i like to slap bitches
i like to slap hoes...
Don't player hate me, player hate somebody else
Yo, yo yo I'm a gangster
Where my dogs at?
Bark with me if your my dog
Yo yo yo, I'm gonna give a shout out to all the player haters
(I don't like player haters)
If your a player hater don't player hate on me
(player hate somebody else)
I'm a gangster, I'm straight up
(straight up gangster, dude)
Gr I'm steaming mad, grr
I'm a gangster, I'm a straight up G

Being a gangster is hella tight

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,
This song is about how the government is importing drugs from countries and getting poor familys to bring up their children to be abusive and violent so the government can trick them into selling drugs so they can fill up their prisons and make them pay fines so the government can pay for research to build super-atomic bombs to destroy the moon causing the debris to fall from the sky and destroy cuba. IF YOU ARE LISTENING TO RAP MUSIC THEN YOU ARE SUPPORTING THE DEATH OF THOUSANDS OF CUBANS!!!
Damn straight.
what? this song is about making fun of stupid gangsters.
