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"
Gigi in Paradisco
Gigi in Paradisco
Gigi, Gigi entra au paradis (Gigi)
Déconcerté, pas sûr de lui (Gigi)
Fallait-il seulement qu'il sourit (Gigi)
Les anges étaient fous de Gigi (ouh ouh ouh)
Il donna des galas gratuits (Gigi, ouh ouh ouh)
Les saints ont chanté toute la nuit (Gigi, ouh ouh ouh)
Il leur parla de ses amis qui
Un jour allaient rejoindre
Gigi in Paradisco
Gigi in Paradisco
Va Gigi, fais-nous un coin au paradis (Gigi Paradisco)
Une petite place qui resemble à l'Italie (Gigi Paradisco)
Oh oh oh-hoo
Sing a song of long ago
Tu peux chanter en anglais comme tu l'as toujours rêvé
It's now or never
Va Gigi, fais-nous un coin au paradis (Gigi Paradisco)
Une petite place qui resemble à l'Italie
Gigi visita toutes les planètes (Gigi)
Fît de Vénus sa discothèque (Gigi)
Prît les étoiles comme projecteurs (Gigi)
Chaque soir c'était le malheur (Gigi, ouh ouh ouh)
Il chante, il danse jusqu'au matin (Gigi, ouh ouh ouh)
Du disco à ses vieux refrains (Gigi, ouh ouh ouh)
Il est enfin devenu star (Gigi)
Il nous attends tous les soirs

It's now or never
Va Gigi, fais-nous un coin au paradis (Gigi Paradisco)
Une petite place qui resemble à l'Italie
Et voila que Georges reviens
Et remplace la guitare par une guitare électrique
Sandre ne joue plus de la mandoline
Il joue le synthétiseur et la Tumba
Et moi, moi j'apprends à danser

Pour nous Gigi est toujours vivant et il nous attend
Au soleil, vivant

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.

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.
