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"

Once again
We're back
It's the big bad Cypress Hill
You know what time it is
[Beat fades in]
[5x] Whoop
Legalize it,
Cypress Hill will ever die at the end?
Legalize it, (Yeah, Yeah, Yeah)
Cypress Hill never dies
Never dies, never dies
[Chorus: B Real and Sen Dog]
Once Upon,
[B-Real singing]
Bugaboo L.I.F.E (Now Here it is )
Why, Why, Why (Bo Bo Bo Bo)
Cypress is still here
We're of those glad MCees
Still Puffin Weed, Weed
Why Diddely Why
Why, Why, Why
[B Real]
Never fucked like this
But I smoke blunts like this
People ask: Why you pull stunts like this?
Cuz I believe in doing what I got' a
A lot' a people don't understand nada
The Mic burns
You was at
It turn's to a slaughter
You wanna think about chilling the fuck out,
You all gonna Top Allah, Pop collar,
Niggas, Latin Thungs
All my family love barillas
Beginners get pushed to back of the pack
Invented and lend out, without not a tech
You're on the top of the game
But you work on a name till one day
To put us in the walk of fame
Don't call a name to recall the fame
Eventually Dru is in the Hall of Fame
You know what the deal is,
You know what the heal is,
You know who the Real is,
You know what my skill is,
[Chorus: B Real and Sen Dog]
[Humming, Sen Dog: Sighing]
[Sen Dog]
I get mental
This ain't no pad and a pencil
Throw the microphone,
My homey get tensed up
I tag the cheque, like I got nothing to lose (That's right)
I test myself, just shut up and proof
That C-Y-P-R-E-S-S
Got you funky, while I'm real deaf
Put it to the sess, and you will confess
Soul Assassins is the best
Check it homeboy, got to spot cracking (crackin)
Six LP, from that ThugDogLatin
Turn the heat up, and keep it hot
Always give ya mo', and then thank
We got to freak the Hip Hop and the hot ride
I'm on to make shows and can't hide
Had first 'self titled', became an Idol
*Spanish* in a Sub town barrio
[Chorus: B Real and Sen Dog]
[Sen Dog]
Now Here it is
Bo Bo Bo Bo
Once again
We're back
It's the big bad Cypress Hill
You know what time it is

Never dies, never dies

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
Blue

Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
Page

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.
I don't know who wrote these lyrics, but there are a lot of mistakes!
The "never dies" bit at the start is wrong and should read "Cypress Hill advertise it" because a lot of their lyric are about cannabis, which they want legalised. They advertise the fact that they enjoy smoking the drug.
The chorus I'm not sure of but sounds like "so I stay away from those bombaclat MC's" (apparently a Jamaican slang insult, like 'asswipe') "still they puffin' me weed"
"Top Allah" - should be "Top Dollar"
"Invented and lend out, without not a tech" What?! It should be "abandoned and left out without no attack"
"Eventually Dru is in the Hall of Fame" - who is Dru? I think it should be "Eventually threw us in the Hall of Fame"
"You know what my skill is" - It sounds like "You know where my steel is" to me - referring to his gun, probably tucked in his belt!
"Throw the microphone, My homey get tensed up" - should be "chrome microphone, my only utensil" (this means he doesn't write down his rap lyrics, they just flow from his brain, out his mouth and into his shiney chrome microphone)
"Put it to the sess" - "Put it to the test" makes more sense, don'tcha think?
"and then thank" - "everything we got"
"Spanish in a Sub town barrio" - "Back when the scene something sub-divided" (not sure about this one though)
Hope someone actually pays attention to these corrections!
