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"
When the moment's right
Only moments rise
For a lesser blessed
It'd all promises
When the donors rise
From their comas rise
For a lesser blessed
It seems honest here
Celebrate, give love and praise
Celebrate, for our lesser days
Obsessions in your eyes
The peril of my life
Where others fall
You came back again
With no grace in mind
See them make him blind
For a lesser god
We seem honest here
Bridge and you turn
You find new highways
And you'll turn
The lady you'll burn
This moment's all
You have it there
This moment hangs
Like your ragged hair
Celebrate, give love and praise
Celebrate, for our lesser days
When the moment's right
Only moments rise
You turn a sea mood silence
The shadows of mankind
And you'll turn
You find new highways
And you'll turn
You find new highways
Celebrate here
Celebrate yeah, please, for all you changed me
Celebrate yeah
Celebrate yeah
Celebrate for our lesser days
Love under will taken from the watchman)
I need to be alone tonight
Smother me or suffer
Lay down I'll die tonight
Smother me or suffer
When I'm gone, wait here
Discover all of life's surprises
When I'm gone wait here
I'll send my child my last good smile
If you pass through my soul tonight
Gather all his troubles
Tomorrow's long eternal night
Gather for tomorrow
When I'm gone wait here
Discovers all of earth's surprises
When I'm gone wait here
I'll send my child my last good smile
[Chorus:]
Between the cracks and hollows
The earth is good,the earth is good
Between the cracks and hollows
The earth is good,the earth is good
Lay down, lay down, lay down for me
Lay down, lay down, lay down with me
When I'm gone wait here
Discover all of life's surprises
When I'm gone wait here
I'll send my child my last good bye
Hey embrace me, someone's gonna suffer
Lay lay lay it on lay lay lay it on me
Someone
Hey embrace me someone's gonna suffer
Sweet dreams my angel
At last good bye
Sweet dreams
Last exit for the lost (straight from album cover)
Would you pay life's pleasures to see me?
Does it hurt, for I want you to remain?
I run your hair through, in another decade
Summer land holds me, in Sumerian haze
Pain in places, where the lovers mourn
Arranging the play things, up and down the hall
Forever remain, for every day
My honour remains, forever remain
Between the spaces along the wall
Appearing faces that disappear at dawn
We're getting closer, I can see the door
Closer and closer, kthulhu calls
Forever remain, forever remain
You'll seek it, it'll take a while
You'll seek this, if it's a thousand miles
Take what fate brings, eternal and desire
I'll change those faces, then I take their smile
We're getting close to you, I can see the door
Closer and closer, or is it there at all
Forever remain, forever remain
This could be my last regress, last exit for the lost
This could be my last regress, last exit for the lost
This could be my last regress, precious for the lost
Only moments rise
For a lesser blessed
It'd all promises
When the donors rise
From their comas rise
For a lesser blessed
It seems honest here
Celebrate, give love and praise
Celebrate, for our lesser days
Obsessions in your eyes
The peril of my life
Where others fall
You came back again
With no grace in mind
See them make him blind
For a lesser god
We seem honest here
Bridge and you turn
You find new highways
And you'll turn
The lady you'll burn
This moment's all
You have it there
This moment hangs
Like your ragged hair
Celebrate, give love and praise
Celebrate, for our lesser days
When the moment's right
Only moments rise
You turn a sea mood silence
The shadows of mankind
And you'll turn
You find new highways
And you'll turn
You find new highways
Celebrate here
Celebrate yeah, please, for all you changed me

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.
