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, Its 50 cent, Young Buck
G-g-g-g-g-g-unit!
We get the club jumpin' from beginning to the end
Go shawty, we back up in this bitch again
We party, harder than you can imagine
You can run wit losers, or run wit winners and win
I feel attention when I walk in the club
G-unit to the socks, bitches all on a thug
Gimme a Henny on the rocks, and a bottle of bub
I don't need security, this Gorilla enough
I came to ball wit ya'll, pop the bar and all
So bitches call ya hoes, and niggas call ya dogs
If you love ya wife keep her at home tonight
She might never come home again nigga, aight!
Teeth, neck, wrists all lights my lifes like
Ridin' in Ca$hville runnin' all stop lights
Homie is that real, I pray I keep livin
My momma just had a dream of seein me in prison
My daddy's a dope fiend,and I don't really miss him
Ain't seen him in 10 years and a nigga still livin'
The same old 2 step we move to a rhythm
50 holla get em' Buck, you know I'm gonna get em'
I know you gonna let me shine and get mine
I know you gonna let me in with this nine
I know you gonna let me smoke on my weed
I know you gonna let me drink with no I.D
I know you gonna let me shine and get mine
I know you gonna let me in with this nine
I know you gonna let me smoke on my weed
I know you gonna let me drink with no I.D
I know I'm sinnin' but I'm winnin' at the same time
Took a couple shots from a nigga tryin' ta take mine
I'm back on the block, wit a choppa and a tech nine
Niggas shootin' cops and the hood runnin' stop signs
G-unit, The Game! Bitches doin' what the thugs do
G's, D's, Vice, Lords, Crips and the Bloods too
Move lemme come through
It ain't a pair of handcuffs, can hold me
I'm ridin' in the ol' school listenin' to some oldies
My goals keep shinin', them hoes keep cryin'
The handle of my 45 outlined in diamonds
Just left Ca$hville, bout to fly to Miami
Hopin' Yayo watchin' Eminem, perform at the Grammys
Niggas like Eric Benet, prolly can't stand me, 'cause
I know money will make Halle Berry come out them panties
Bitch!
Ya'll niggas in trouble they should have never let me in (in)
I know you gonna let me shine and get mine
I know you gonna let me in with this nine
I know you gonna let me smoke on my weed
I know you gonna let me drink with no I.D
I know you gonna let me shine and get mine
I know you gonna let me in with this nine
I know you gonna let me smoke on my weed
I know you gonna let me drink with no I.D
Bet ya I can make them bounce back
Teach em' how to stunt, teach em' how to count stacks (yeah)
Now where ya hood at? Buck
If you want to, we 50 deep up in here what you gonna do
Who want beef, I ain't come for no name callin'
Don't be mad 'cause we is and you ain't ballin'
Gettin' money is my motto for you broke folks
Can't spend ya whole life payin' on ya car notes
It's alright if you still on the block boy
See I'mma cold young thug, not a hot boy
You know I do this for the streets, and my peeps that's behind bars
As soon as they come home, I'll go and buy them all cars
Young Buck!
I know you gonna let me shine and get mine
I know you gonna let me in with this nine
I know you gonna let me smoke on my weed
I know you gonna let me drink with no I.D
I know you gonna let me shine and get mine
I know you gonna let me in with this nine
I know you gonna let me smoke on my weed
I know you gonna let me drink with no I.D

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,
Blue
Ed Sheeran
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.
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.
I recently saw the video on tv. Cringe-worthy.
