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"
Ride wit me, yeah yeah
Ride wit me (Def Squad)
Roll down your windows and ride wit me (uptown)
Ride wit us
Bitch ride wit us
Ride wit us
Roll up your windows and ride wit us
Lets smoke this Oakland indoe
Don't roll down the window
Start the car
We ain't going too far
You know that big 'bootied' girl you always fuckin' wit
She got a sister I really wanna get
Some Georgia girls from college park
You already fucked when we get that started off
Park in the driveway, it won't take long
Do it like that, it goes on and on
You know this the kind of shit, I know you want
E made the beat let me show you somethin'
Quite a few haters want to see us played out
But we got the formula to get payed now
You can't stand in the way of success
We got the same job but you make much less
I remember how it used to be, before we had crack
If you had a few hundred in your pocket that was fat
[Chorus]
If you feel like smokin' then ride wit us
Hop the train with no token then ride wit us
And if you don't give a fuck then ride wit us
Roll down your windows and ride wit us
And if you got five on it then ride wit us
And if you ain't fake niggas then ride wit us
And if your crew pull trigges then ride wit us
Roll up your windows and ride wit us
Ah-yo, I lick two shots that's heard all around the world
Check how a forty and a blunt can take a nigga girl
Like E.F. hunting, don't say nothin', I'm haunting
On the microphone, its the eve of destruction
As the world goes around like Passion
You get flattened in an orderly fashion
You was warned like a coming attraction
I got playa hated, felt liberated
Put him on the burner cause the nigga violated
We scamper like guard dogs through the fog
If you feel like you wanna hop, leap like a frog
The sergeant general get busy chief
The fastest way to spell rhyme relief is Keith
I leave you assed out like a cocaine drought
Hey yo can I get a witness like Andre Krouch
Niggas need to stop frontin'
Bitches need to stop stuntin'
Cause they know fuck well they can't stop my production
[Chorus]
I got the forty acres without the fuckin' mule
Doc Ike Turner givin' mics audio abuse
I smack a big mouth bitch, and her babysitter
And her lesbian friend, and that nigga wit her
I don't give a fuck, I smack blood out a midget
My tactics make evil D say come on kick it
A black five wit rims, what you can spot me in
Wanna die, I snatch you like Doc Kevorkian
So turn the beat up
While NARCs got me on sweep up
I'm lucky, I usually tote more Guns than Peter
I fuck you up to where your forehead will cut meat up
You wanna box, I square more than Matt Asenerina
Backstabbing bitches and niggas eat a dick
Cause you never heard the Doc do (nothin' like this)
Backstabbing bitches and niggas eat a dick
Cause you never heard the Doc do (nothin' like this0
[Chorus]
Ride wit me (Def Squad)
Roll down your windows and ride wit me (uptown)
Ride wit us
Bitch ride wit us
Ride wit us
Roll up your windows and ride wit us
Lets smoke this Oakland indoe
Don't roll down the window
Start the car
We ain't going too far
You know that big 'bootied' girl you always fuckin' wit
She got a sister I really wanna get
Some Georgia girls from college park
You already fucked when we get that started off

Do it like that, it goes on and on
You know this the kind of shit, I know you want

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”
Holiday
Bee Gees
Bee Gees
@[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.
