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 meditate on the end of days 'til I get it straight
We ran the case trying to medicate 'til we end the pain
We was laying in the whip
We was lightin' up a hit
We was tryna get it lit
Like
Or was our minds gettin' blunted
Was our growing gettin' stunted
Did we really keep it hundred like
Whatchu alive for
What you'll die for
Think this is a game
I ain't worried 'bout my high score
When I'm gone I ain't slipping out no side door
They got no vision, I just stick out like an eyesore
Yeah
I know that death is certain
Your show will catch a curtain
This goes for every person
I'm the devil to the drama
Don't sweat it like a sauna
I'm steady out
My mantra saying
Nobody give me nuttin
I take what I want
I'm the, I'm the only one I got my money on
Ain't nobody give me nuttin
I take what I want
Everyday I'm born at dusk
And I die at dawn
Fuck it
Die everyday, die every day
We come and
Die everyday, die every day
Just fly everyday, fly everyday
Motherfucker, I die every day, die every day
Ooh for them I'd have died
For them I'd have died man
My man and my homies
My city my life
But that's when you learn
That's when you learn
Who will show up when its time for their turn
People will not have your back in return
So leverage is burn--
Leverage is burnin'
Yeah
Burn all your sorrows
Look to myself there's no one to follow
We may not have tomorrow
Lost generation these minutes are borrowed
Some bands in my hands that I get to hold but I never own
Got me a house with rooms upon rooms but I'm never home
And every day I die
And every day I ride
On the road in a red sky
Fuck all these niggas that's bye-bye
Ain't nobody give me nuttin
I take what I want
I'm the, I'm the only one I got my money on
Ain't nobody give me nuttin
I take what I want
Every day I'm born at dusk
And I die at dawn
Fuck it
Die every day, die every day
We come and
Die every day, die every day
Just fly every day, fly every day
Motherfucker I die every day, die every day
Die every day
We ran the case trying to medicate 'til we end the pain
We was laying in the whip
We was lightin' up a hit
We was tryna get it lit
Like
Or was our minds gettin' blunted
Was our growing gettin' stunted
Did we really keep it hundred like
Whatchu alive for
What you'll die for
Think this is a game
I ain't worried 'bout my high score
When I'm gone I ain't slipping out no side door
They got no vision, I just stick out like an eyesore
Yeah
I know that death is certain
Your show will catch a curtain
This goes for every person
I'm the devil to the drama
Don't sweat it like a sauna
I'm steady out
My mantra saying
Nobody give me nuttin
I take what I want
I'm the, I'm the only one I got my money on
Ain't nobody give me nuttin
I take what I want
Everyday I'm born at dusk
And I die at dawn
Fuck it
Die everyday, die every day
We come and
Die everyday, die every day
Just fly everyday, fly everyday
Motherfucker, I die every day, die every day
Ooh for them I'd have died
For them I'd have died man
My man and my homies

Motherfucker I die every day, die every day
Die every day

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”
