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"
Yeah (yeah, yeah), there's a lot of fuck niggaz in the club tonight
(Fuck 'em, fuck 'em, fuck 'em) but it's gonna be 'aight (yeah, yeah, yeah)
'Cause me and my clique we don't give a fuck nigga (we don't give a fuck nigga)
Trick Daddy, Jim Johnson, Big D, Lil' Jon
Let's go, let's go
If you want it you can get it let me know (let me know)
I'm 'bout to fuck a nigga up
Let's go, let's go (let's go)
If you want it you can get it let me know (let me know)
I'm 'bout to fuck a nigga up, let's go
If you want some, come get some
'Cause where I'm from we tote big guns
And everybody know somebody that know somebody that know somethin' bout it
And I want answers now
Who, what, where, when and why?
See, a lot of dudes like to act a fool
And all get all loud but that ain't my style (what?)
Now, he who he gonna get and what he gonna do
Run up on me if he want to
Out there impressin' his homies
But he stood up in front of his momma
I mop up the flo' with him
And I kick in the door and let the .44 get him
I got fools that'll go get him
This for him, his crew and the dudes that run with him
Let's go, let's go
If you want it you can get it let me know (let me know)
I'm 'bout to fuck a nigga up
Let's go, let's go (let's go)
If you want it you can get it let me know (let me know)
I'm 'bout to fuck a nigga up, let's go
Gotta spit it for the murderers and the killers and the thugsters
That be fuckin' up the ballers and the dealers and the hustlers
Got me comin' at you bogus in the V.I.
While they bumpin' Lil' Jon, I'ma brush ya
It's the psycho nigga Twista from Chicago
Rollin' with the Miami nigga, that'll crush ya
We already been lookin' for drama
If a nigga try to get into with us then we gotta get him
Feelin' fury from my tough shit, that can't never be true and no Penicillin
I'm tellin' you Trick, I'm fit to steal him
Got me swingin' Crissy and Hennessy bottles in the club
With my thug homies goin' for ya scrilla
Don't get it twisted with that, "Overnight Celebrity"
You better be scared of me, in my city I'm a killer
Let's go, let's go
If you want it you can get it let me know (let me know)
I'm 'bout to fuck a nigga up
Let's go, let's go (let's go)
If you want it you can get it let me know (let me know)
I'm 'bout to fuck a nigga up, let's go
I ain't that rappin' type alright
And I that actin' type alright
That soft ain't in my script
I'm a playa, you, you just a square
See, once that Hennessy into me
The whole industry is my enemy
If you ain't no kin to me or friend to me
Bitch, don't pretend to be (what?)
Yeah, I'm strictly for the thugs
I'm part of the streets and straight out the hood
Got moments ghetto
And I don't even needs the gats for you weasly cats
I'm straight out the county of Dade
3-0-5, nigga M-I-A
Never gone south of the border
America's most wanted, you gon' get slaughtered
Let's go, let's go
If you want it you can get it let me know (let me know)
I'm 'bout to fuck a nigga up
Let's go, let's go (let's go)
If you want it you can get it let me know (let me know)
I'm 'bout to fuck a nigga up
Let's go, let's go
If you want it you can get it let me know (let me know)
I'm 'bout to fuck a nigga up
Let's go, let's go (let's go)
If you want it you can get it let me know (let me know)
I'm 'bout to fuck a nigga up, let's go

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
Wu-Tang Clan
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.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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.
My school dance team does a dance for this song! This so is so hott!
