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"
[Chorus: x2]
Ooh la la la la la la la
Ooh la la la la la la la
Ooh la la la la la la la
El Capitan!
I've been rockin' since the 1900s
A microphone and two 1200's
So back in the day we use to fuck with Alize
Now we kick it with the liquid from Kingston J.A.
In the morning you be crudo make you eat menudo
Pissin' out your culo got to act the foolo
I like it on ice with Coca~Cola
I sip it from L.A. to Capitola
Watch out for the rollas pull over to the shoulder
Shoulda started drinkin' when I was much older
Some like gin, some like tonic
I like the Captain with a half-ounce of chronic
[Chorus]
One night in the summer about two months back
I went out on the town without a plan of attack
Heineken, shots of 151
And a bottle of what we call El Capitan
What happened that night you can't quite recall
The fact is, boy, you can't remember it all
You woke up in the morning with a spinnin' head
And a teenage girl lyin' next to you in bed
You kicked her out and then you slammed the door
Trying to forget about the night before
A month goes by you can't remember the date
Girls at the door says "Boy I'm late!"
That's what you get for outplayin' the ho
And now you got a kid with a girl you don't know
And the first thing you thought when she dropped the bomb
Shouldn't have been fucking with El Capitan
[Chorus]
Now drop the chalupa pick up the mic
And let the party people know just what ya like
Well it comes from Puerto Rico
So you know that I be diggin' it
And if the bottle's empty then you know that I been swiggin' it
Hittin it now the Party' legit
Hynas getting lit shakin' tha booties and tits
We the OPM clique and that's how we roll
So get some education from the man shakin' low
Now Captain Morgan was a pirate dude
He used to jag motherfuckers and act real rude
As a real live person he wasn't much fun
But he sure made a good ass bottle of rum
[Chorus]
Ooh la la la la la la la
Ooh la la la la la la la
Ooh la la la la la la la
