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"
(Oo, yeah)
No more lonely nights to hurt me
No more tears left to spare
No more reasons to be unhappy
You threw them all up in the air
And I don't know how you did it but you made me a believer
I never thought that love could turn someone into a dreamer
For the first time in my life I don't feel like I need a breather
'Cause everywhere I go I wanna know you're gonna be there
I'd give it all up for you (I'd give it all up for you)
Do anything you ask me to (anything you ask me to)
You're like a pillow I can hold on to
'Cause we got each other
We got each other
My loneliness has gone away
It left me here without a trace
And now I'm in a brand new place
'Cause we got each other
We got each other, yeah
Had some times in past almost pull us under
But we got through all that and it made us stronger
Through the good through the bad that you stayed another
You're the best thing I have and we got each other
When the hard times confront me
You always show me that you care
And I believe you are my rescue
When I see you right there (when I see you right there)
And I don't know how you did it but you made me a believer (believer)
I never thought that love could turn someone into a dreamer (dreamer)
For the first time in my life I don't need a breather
'Cause everywhere I go I wanna know you're gonna be there
I'd give it all up for you
Do anything you ask me to (anything you ask me to)
You're like a pillow I can hold on to
'Cause we got each other
Baby we got each other
My loneliness has gone away (my loneliness has gone away)
It left me here without a trace (it left me here without a trace)
And now I'm in a brand new place
'Cause we got each other
We got each other, yeah
You are the hand that I reach for
When I don't wanna be alone
You are the voice I hear at night
That lets me know I'll be alright (that let's me know that I'll be)
When I need a real good friend
Don't have to look far, you're the best
I'm safe here in your arms
And I know this is where I belong
'Cause I'll give it all up for you
Do anything you ask me to (anything you ask me to)
You're like a pillow I can hold on to
'Cause we got each other
Baby we got each other
My loneliness has gone away (it's gone away, away)
It left me here without a trace (trace)
And now I'm in a brand new place (I'm in a brand new place)
'Cause we got each other
Baby we got each other, yeah
No matter what happens we got each other
Had some times in the past but we got each other
Through the good through the bad we still got each other
We may be happy or sad but we got each other
I'd give it all up for you
Do anything you ask me to
You're like a pillow I can hold on to
'Cause we got each other
We got each other
My loneliness has gone away
It left me here without a trace
And now I'm in a brand new place
'Cause we got each other
Baby we got each other, yeah
Had some times in past almost pull us under
But we got through all that and it made us stronger
Through the good through the bad that you stayed another
You're the best thing I have and we got each other
No more lonely nights to hurt me
No more tears left to spare
No more reasons to be unhappy
You threw them all up in the air
And I don't know how you did it but you made me a believer

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 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.

Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
This song is very slow and sweet She singing to guy and saying beacuse of you, I learnt to believe in love again, Since you walked into my life, Everything's different, You healed my broken heart... Very sweet song.
