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"
Hello darkness
Hello sunshine
Hello not at all
Hello all the time
Hello nowhere
Hello oblivions
Hello goodbye
Hello darkness
Hello sunshine
Hello not at all
Hello all the time
Hello nowhere
Hello oblivions
Hello goodbye
Hello darkness
You, you, you, you, you
All in together the weather is better then ever
I hope it never ends I hope it lasts forever
But when it does we can all pretend that its been better than its ever been
Lie to our selves like sky to a bell
And its well and its fine and its fine if we fell
And you can refined the story line if you survive to a tell
We are targets
Hello darkness
Hello sunshine
Hello not at all
Hello all the time
Hello nowhere
Hello oblivions
Hello goodbye
You said everythings gunna be fine
You said everythings gunna be OK
You said just don't breathe the air
He just sits and waits for them to kick in the door
He once was a hero they don't love him no more
There was a blast
Everytime a tear hits the floor
His gift for not fighting an other mans war
And if, they can get they hands on the mask that he wore
On his face they can put somebody else in his place or restore
To state the illusion that its safe, the faith
That being a slave is so great
As gas fill the room and rockets destroy everything around him
He stands to find himself surrounded
By thousands of soldiers that he once trained
And never miss they targets heartless=

@[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.
I Can't Go To Sleep

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.
