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"
I've got this feeling
Deep down inside
And it makes me feel so good
I just can't disguise
If you'll allow me to take your hand
Gonna do my best oh
To make you understand
I've got this feeling
And I know you'll agree
There's a lot of love between us
That came so naturally
There's not a moment
That passes by
That I don't think of you
And here's the reason why (I've got this feeling)
I've got this feeling ('bout you and I)
Boy we can make it if we try
Oh we let our loves pass
Like two ships in the night
And I know that this love is so right
Oh oh
Let's walk together baby hand in hand
We'll turn our backs to see
One footprint in the sand
That's just to say that
We're together in love
Just a symbol that shows
That we are one (look in my eyes)
Look into my eyes (surely you'll find)
Surely you'll find (our souls combine)
Our souls combine
And we will be together in love
(I've got this feeling)
(That our love can survive)
And we're gonna make it last
Through the test of time
Let's stick together
Just you and I ('Cause I know that this love)
(Is so right)
It's so right
I've got this feeling
That our love can survive
And we're gonna make it last
Through the test of time
Let's stick together just you and I
('Cause I know that this love)
(Is so right)
Oh oh oh (look in my eyes)
Look into my eyes (surely you'll find)
Surely you will find (our souls combine)
Our souls combine
And we will be together in love (I've got this feeling)
(That our love can survive)
And we're gonna make it last
Through the test of time
Let's stick together just you and I
'Cause I know
I know I know
That it feels so right (I've got this feeling)
('Bout you and I)
(Boy we can make it if we try)
We let our love pass (We let our love pass)
Like to ships in the night
And I know (and I know that this love)
(Is so right)
(I've got this feeling)
I've got this feeling (that our love can survive)
(And we're gonna make it last)
(Through the test of time
Let's stick together
Just you and I ('Cause I know that this love)
(Is so right)
I've got this feeling (I've got this feeling)
(I've got this feeling)
Oh oh
Deep down inside
And it makes me feel so good
I just can't disguise
If you'll allow me to take your hand
Gonna do my best oh
To make you understand

This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
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.
No Surprises

Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
