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"
Listen in right 'cause my jam be the joint
Press play on the track till it hits ya boiling point
When the crowd no longer sit aside and just simmer
'Cause we up in the spot as the lights grow dimmer
Street anthem sound from your local DJ mix master
Play that shizzle on your speakers don't delay
Equipped to make you bounce with the beat mechanism
We up in the Fale with the vinyl cipher system
Friday night is the scene
Party people everywhere
Check your frequencies
Let me see you getting down onto the dance floor
Nesian's are you with me
Are you with me
Friday night is the scene
Party people everywhere
Check your frequencies
Let the music take control of your mind body and soul
Get up and get ready
All night all night
Everybody want to be trying to be showing individual mooli technique
Every second of the party
M-U-L-L-E-T prolifically lacking in the constant movement your consuming
Initialise them verbal styles to mystify your mind
Demonstrate essential element fundamental rhythms we provide
Essential apparatus
Necessary for these fella's
Broken English is apparent
Upon sense begins to shatter
It be the tropical siva movement for your action
Ain't no excuses like Cube said, "put your back in"
Laxed out atmosphere be getting fatter by the minute the beat filling up the room
Nobody getting timid
Brothers gotta keep there lines tight tonight
'Cause the sisters are looking fly as the place starts to ignite
Friday night is the scene
Party people everywhere
Check your frequencies
Let me see you getting down onto the dance floor
Nesian's are you with me
Are you with me
Friday night is the scene
Party people everywhere
Check your frequencies
Let the music take control of your mind body and soul
Get up and get ready
All night all night
Vinyl distracts focus mental concentration
Instant stutter becomes a hazard to regulation
Not to mention adapt to situation
Materialize upon destination
Stand up get up no more dancing with your eyes
Status uncompromised villager identify
Tonight is the night to let your body unwind
So let loose and eventually let ya mind initialize
Progression of navigation is encapsulated
In that you waited so long
All of ya fantasies become reality when they collide
'Cause you can't get by the fact that tonight is Friday night
Let the music catch you off guard/ be venerable to the beat lady
My style stay cryptic from crossed words out of adverbs
Disturbed from your reverb in case you never heard
When we rock mics we tend to rock right
'Cause when we rock mics we rock the mic, "Right"
Ignite ya light and throw ya hands high
'Cause it's carcken on a Friday when we roll right
Layin' pipe AK taking it worldwide
Say it with me now M double O L I
Friday night is the scene
Party people everywhere
Check your frequencies
Let me see you getting down onto the dance floor
Nesian's are you with me
Are you with me
Friday night is the scene
Party people everywhere
Check your frequencies
Let the music take control of your mind body and soul

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
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.
Magical

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
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.
Ha! this is such an old song, it's amazing this song hadn't been added already.
This song just makes me think of summer. It reminds me of that old coke ad that used to be on tv here where there's heaps of people on the beach on that ice ramp and they're sliding down it on surfboard and stuff and flipping into the water.
