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"
Junto a la fuente de un bosque se oye llorar
A un joven pastor que un día perdió su único amor
Cuando anochece se acerca hasta el lugar
Se sienta a esperar por si ella regresa a verle en la oscuridad
Y ella le ve, se sienta con él
Todas las noches hasta el amanecer
Le habla al oído, le roza la piel
Y cuando se va le pide en silencio que vuelva otra vez
Junto a la fuente en la que un día yo jure
Que jamás querría tanto a una mujer
Rezo en silencio por tenerte otra vez
Yo no sé si me ves
Solo sé que jamás te olvidare
Fue una noche de invierno cuando él se durmió
Que ella le habló y en sueño profundo su voz escuchó
Sé que mi muerte te ha roto el corazón
Pero has de vivir pues viéndote así mi amor, sufro por ti
Y él comprendió que debía ser
Su ultima noche hasta el amanecer
Pues al despertar tenia con él
Sus ropas, su anillo y el fino olor de su piel
Junto a la fuente en la que un día juré
Que jamás querría tanto a una mujer
Rezo en silencio por tenerte otra vez
Yo no sé si me ves
Solo sé que jamás te olvidare
Junto a la fuente en la que un día yo jure
Que jamás querría tanto a una mujer
Rezo en silencio por tenerte otra vez
Hoy logre comprender
Que al final de mi vida, mi amor, te encontraré
A un joven pastor que un día perdió su único amor
Cuando anochece se acerca hasta el lugar
Se sienta a esperar por si ella regresa a verle en la oscuridad
Y ella le ve, se sienta con él
Todas las noches hasta el amanecer
Le habla al oído, le roza la piel
Y cuando se va le pide en silencio que vuelva otra vez
Junto a la fuente en la que un día yo jure
Que jamás querría tanto a una mujer
Rezo en silencio por tenerte otra vez
Yo no sé si me ves
Solo sé que jamás te olvidare
Fue una noche de invierno cuando él se durmió
Que ella le habló y en sueño profundo su voz escuchó
Sé que mi muerte te ha roto el corazón
Pero has de vivir pues viéndote así mi amor, sufro por ti
Y él comprendió que debía ser
Su ultima noche hasta el amanecer
Pues al despertar tenia con él
Sus ropas, su anillo y el fino olor de su piel
Junto a la fuente en la que un día juré
Que jamás querría tanto a una mujer
Rezo en silencio por tenerte otra vez
Yo no sé si me ves
Solo sé que jamás te olvidare
Junto a la fuente en la que un día yo jure
Que jamás querría tanto a una mujer
Rezo en silencio por tenerte otra vez
Hoy logre comprender
Que al final de mi vida, mi amor, te encontraré

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.
