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"
Throw it to me baby, I'ma run it back
Through the hole now, can yo boy touchdown?
Throw it to me baby, I'ma run it back
Through the hole now, can yo boy touchdown?

(Shake it twist it)(Twist it shake it)
Hat cocked hard headed from the bad block
Reds flocked I'm star studded like my shamrock
Off top when I drop them bras need to pop
I told her don't stop man have you seen her pop?
God damn she hit the fan cant catch her dirty
I can, cause I'm the man, I am
I don't slow dance I 2 step
Tryin' to chill and post up but that Grey Goose crept
Up on me now lil' mama lookin' like she want this
Once I am up to bat when I hit I don't miss
And maybe you can leave wit me
And don't worry about nothin' a couple of gs wit me
(Now let me see you)
Throw it to me baby, I'ma run it back
Through the hole now, can yo boy touchdown?
Throw it to me baby, I'ma run it back

Soon as I come through the door
Them heffers pullin' on my clothes
White T, crispy Nike's wit some red and blue Girbauds
Hustle a piece of game and don't be mad cause she chose (who?)
Ching a ling, stay on the scene
Ring diamonds in my pinky ring
You know they mean
Brush my shoulders off I stay clean, look how I gleam
Keep a gang of chickens on my team, ya know na mean na mean?
You a jazzy girl, its your world
I'm just trying to catch a nut, so maybe call me a squirrel
Better yet I tell ya what, I'ma give yo ass a referral
Come to my office in the back and goin' get it girl
Throw it to me baby, I'ma run it back
Through the hole now, can yo boy touchdown?

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.

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

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.
