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"
Suck my cockiness
Lick my persuasion
Eat my words and then
Swallow your pride down, down
Place my wants and needs
Over your resistance
And then you come around
You come around
You come around (yeah)
I want you to be my sex slave
Anything that I desire
Be one with my feminine
Set my whole body on fire
Fair maiden Rihanna gate
Taking over your empire
She may be the queen of hearts
But I'ma be the queen of your body parts

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.

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.
sex.
This sex-infused ode finds Rihanna relaying everything she wants her man to do when they get it on. The flagrantly provocative urban track was produced by Shondrae "Bangladesh" Crawford, who is famed for his filthy beats on Lil Wayne's "A Milli" and Ke$ha's "Sleazy."
Bangladesh told MTV News the song originated a long time before Rihanna recorded it. " 'Cockiness,' it's layers of things I had sampled for a long time, never really messed with it too much," he said. "I was in L.A., and I had just pulled it out, chopped it up, made it a beat. My artist Candice Pillay, my other writers, Dem Jointz, they wrote the song."
"It wasn't 'Cockiness' at first, it was something else," he added. "They had the 'I love it' part. ... [They] came up with that part first, and that wasn't even on that track: It was just an idea. I was going to make a whole new beat out of it, what they wrote to it that day, it wasn't really all the way done. A couple days later, they revisited it and came up with the 'Cockiness.'"
Given its sexual innuendo and swagger, there was one person who immediately came to mind to record the track. "I was like, 'That's dope. That's Rihanna all day,' " Bangladesh said. "They sent the song back, and I finished producing it. I put the 'I love it' on it that they had already had. She loved it, and that's what it was."
Rihanna recruited rapper A$AP Rocky for the song's official remix, which was premiered at the 2012 MTV Video Music Awards on September 6, 2012. The remixed track was released on iTunes the same day
