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"

Narcotic this window meth merchant
Shippin' and handlin' your life supply
Time to get up and wipe the eye boogers out my eye
What y'all tryna buy pimpin', why'know it's kinda dry
Yeah, I only gotta couple of pies left
That'll last me through the year
Doula, ice cream candy
Man, that shit be comin' in handy
It's real walkie talkie
I got that from the DB's, my cousin, work dirty
If you want 'em, I got 'em, you up to cop it
You better be about your grit
Devour any cowards, sours slippery at the lip
Beast up, suck up to none, don't be no sucker
Be a block monster, be a reputable motherfucka
Real mash with my Spanish
If ain't about no gouda, partner, you can vanish
Don't get put up in your place
Give me 40 feet and an ounce of space
You want 'em? I got 'em drippin' like water
You want 'em? I got 'em drippin' like water
You want 'em? I got 'em drippin' like water
You want 'em? I got 'em drippin' like water

Now-A-Later's, Gum Drops, Jelly Beans
Lollipops and triple beams
Blue Carpet, yeah, that's Tha Treatment
Candy so sweet, got everybody eatin' it
Bigg Snoop Dogg, I'm the star of this
So go on and get yourself a bar of this
No change, man, gimme the bucks
The kinda candy I sell, they call it 'Deez Nutz'
I'm almond with the caramel insides
You appear frontin' with the French fries
How it feel, man? What it look like?
I'm in your neighborhood, pullin' on some Bud Light
Sweet and sticky, take it out the wrapper
Now put it in your mouth
To the beat of the drum, it'll be fun
And I bet you can't just eat one, candy
You want 'em? I got 'em drippin' like water
You want 'em? I got 'em drippin' like water
You want 'em? I got 'em drippin' like water
You want 'em? I got 'em drippin' like water

You want 'em? I got 'em drippin' like water
You want 'em? I got 'em drippin' like water
You want 'em? I got 'em drippin' like water
I'm in the hood with the six-trey candy paint
Lil' somethin' to chunk, make the *** all faint
If you know when to beep, jump my baby rate
When I grip round her butt, I hold her steady
Yeah, she my one and only
Quick to keep back haters who don't know me
I feel good about candy
My gangstas understand me
Shake it, baby, don't break it baby
Now can you make it clap?
Tryna fit this work in your gap
Drop it like it water pagoda, get my hustle on
I get it from you, then I step on it to bubble on
It's gettin' sweeter than a sugar cane
Here come that sugar daddy, black, rollin' on gold thangs
Fo'shigiddy, he turned it into somethin', boy
'Cause I can't leave this filthy game without my Almond Joy
You want 'em? I got 'em drippin' like water
You want 'em? I got 'em drippin' like water
You want 'em? I got 'em drippin' like water
You want 'em? I got 'em drippin' like water
You want 'em? I got 'em drippin' like water
You want 'em? I got 'em drippin' like water
You want 'em? I got 'em drippin' like water
You want 'em? I got 'em drippin' like water
It's like candy, candy
Get it how you want it
Whip it, twist it, pop your whip up on the corner
While I tadaa check out this bizarre
The D A T, the N I double G, the D A Z
Again, it's up in the wind, feel the breeze for s***
Goddamn, you already know who I am
Chrome on chrome, blue on blue, frost colors switches
Hit the gas, hit the brake, y'all really burn rubber?
Dip, drop, drop, dip
Stop, dip, ghost ride the whip
Yeah, *** shot caller
It's America's number one baller
Man, I don't give a *** like, "*** it"
High riders, slide in the bucket
Little momma all up on a *** like a coat
I got the perfect thang that'll coat her throat
You want 'em? I got 'em drippin' like water
You want 'em? I got 'em drippin' like water
You want 'em? I got 'em drippin' like water
You want 'em? I got 'em drippin' like water

You want 'em? I got 'em drippin' like water
You want 'em? I got 'em drippin' like water
You want 'em? I got 'em drippin' like water
You want 'em? I got 'em drippin' like water
Three thousand **** pieces, you understand me?
I wish a *** would come in this ***
If I see Suge right now, I'd tell him, "Hey, how you doin', Suge?"
I didn't even know you were standin' there, *** my bad
You want 'em? I got 'em drippin' like water

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.
Amazing

Ed Sheeran
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.

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.
AHH whattt? I love this song :D
