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"
(Intro)
Code Of Honor
You know I told my niggas I'mma ride for life
I'mma Stick with 'em for life, my close ones, I got you
Shit, I'm riding till the death (Yessss)
It's your boy Lil Boss
(Verse 1)
In case I'm gone tonight, I told 'em I'mma ride for life
X me out the game, I leave they frame with the dynamite
Expertise in homicide, with my crew it's tamper with
You riding in the snow with Lugz boots and the hammers
Mr. MC with long bananas
Clips will leave you grindin'
Eat em up, no Aunt Jemima
Ridin' with the pump inside 'em
Garbage let me dump inside 'em
Fightin' when I'm ridin tenant
Ridin' for my closest niggas
Talkin' like it's motion sickness
Eat em with the quickness
(Yeah, I'm ridin' for my niggas
It's your boy Lil B
Shit I'm ridin' for my niggas
6 Kiss, you know what I mean
6 Kiss, you ridin' for your niggas cousin
I'm ridin' for my niggas
Better ride for my niggas
I love y'all niggas man)
(Verse 2)
Thinking like survivors
Before we enter hell, have to mentally prepare
Had to dig beneath myself
And make no angels in this hell
When you ridin' to the death
It's a secret code of honor
Only shared with a few close
Closer than mustache with top lip
I must stash the pump six
The clip like a drum stick
Batter of my left fist
Is Leftwich, pumped in, pump fake, pump breaks
The hospital was looking like a clear lake
A lotta preying/praying invertebrate
Nasty when you in the haze
I demonstrate, then orchestrate
My weaponry is auto-tuned, autobahn the automatic
Leave the shots off, leave em in a hot dog
I'm ridin for my niggas bruh
(Ridin for my niggas man
I'm ridin' for my niggas, 6 Kiss
Shit is so crazy man, 6 times though
You know what I mean
Shit, Lil B, 6 Kiss, I'm ridin' for my niggas

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.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
Plastic Bag

“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
