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"

Kool A.D.:
It's like, put me on dude
Someone discover me
Give me some money b
I'll be your money tree
Took a lot of samples out, you don't gotta clear those
Made a lot of weird raps, you don't want to hear those
Label's like, 'Maybe we can cake off the weirdos'
Ok - plug your nose, here goes
Caveman porn star riding on a unicorn
Undercover cop, and I'm wearing a uniform
Plus I wrote all of my rhymes in cuneiform
Hella years ago, B.C., you better be informed
If you don't get it, get a computer and Google it
If you find out all the reasons we the shit, then you the shit
Yeah poopin' on the track, call me doo-doo Vic
Kool-Kool-Kool A.D., nothing new to the kid
What can you do the kid, totally stupid and sick
No scruples, cool man, ice cream scoopin' it
You can sell anything
You can sell anything
You can sell anything
You can really sell anything
Heems:
Awwwww dip
It's Heems once again, back again
With the caravan of mans that from Pakistan
Kirachi posses, ozzies, papi
Unh, red octagons couldn't stop me
I burn headband, my eyes all droopy
I've gooey footies, zoobies in my poopy
They all like, 'Well Heems you too proud'
I'm like, 'You would be too, if you had the juice now!'
(Ohhhh!)
Ey yo the government is lies, son
United States are Google, Verizon
They all spies son, I'm Pisces, risin'
And you ain't Hoover, you suck like James Dyson
Google the devil but I feel lucky
Extreme Home Make-Over couldn't touch me
Backyards, kittens, puppies, 401k's, libels, yuppies
Yeeah, I'm talkin' bout wine drinkers
Bald-head men, Klux Klan swine-dinkers
What motivates you? Let's go around the room
'I wanna own a boat one day'
They got my dreams and they playing salugi
I'm bound to be found like a brown John Belushi
Kuffi, Fallujah, Kulfi, Falooda
Truthie, Coolie, more flows than Luda
What good is all your money if your styles is still tasteless?
I celebrate the fact I moved into my momma's basement
I don't pay rent, I sell old books for new ones
New fives, two jives, so live, olive
At the Spin Show, beats by Diplo
Stack bundles, rest in peace
Della Reese's nieces rest with me
Next to me is a table with empties, don't tempt me
I burn hemp leaves, more style than ten Fonzie Bentleys
I'm Ray Liotta from Goodfellas
I'm complex - I'm Shiv Kumar Batalvi
I'm complex - I'm Sahir Ludhianvi
I'm complex - I'm Abrar Alvi
I'm complex

I'm 5 out of 8 computers on a scale of computers

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
I Can't Go To Sleep
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.

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.
