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"
You tell me that I'm complicated
And that might be an understatement
Anything else? (Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha)
You tell me that I'm indecisive
Fickle, but I try to hide it
Anything else? (Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha)
You tell me that I overthink
'Til I ruin a good thing
Anything else? (Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha)
You tell me that you'd rather fight
Than spend a single peaceful night
With somebody else (ha-ha-ha-ha)
You really, really know me
The future and the old me
All of the mazes and the madness in my mind
You really, really love me
You know me and you love me
And it's the kind of thing I always hoped I'd find (yeah)
Always thought I was hard to love
'Til you made it seem so easy, seem so easy
Always thought I was hard to love
'Til you made it seem so easy, seem so easy
Touch me 'til I find myself, in a feeling
Tell me with your hands that you're never leaving (no)
Always thought I was hard to love
'Til you made it seem so easy (seem so easy)
I never liked my crooked teeth
You tell me they're your favorite thing (mm-hmm)
Anything else? (Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha)
The stretch marks all around my thighs
Kiss 'em 'til I change my mind
About everything else (ha-ha-ha-ha)
You really, really know me
The future and the old me
All of the mazes and the madness in my mind
You really, really love me
You know me and you love me (uh, huh)
And it's the kind of thing I always hoped I'd find
Always thought I was hard to love
'Til you made it seem so easy, seem so easy (so easy, yeah)
Always thought I was hard to love (to love)
'Til you made it seem so easy, seem so easy (so easy, yeah)
Touch me 'til I find myself, in a feeling (oh)
Tell me with your hands that you're never leaving (oh, never)
Always thought I was hard to love (to love)
'Til you made it seem so easy, seem so easy (oh)
All I know is you, heal me when I'm broken
Heal me when I'm broken, oh
All I know is you, saved me and you know it
Saved me and you know it (saved me and you know it)
Always thought I was hard to love
'Til you made it seem so easy, seem so easy (ah)
I always thought I was hard to love
'Til you made it seem so easy, seem so easy ('til you made it, 'til you made it)
Touch me 'til I find myself, in a feeling (a feeling)
Tell me with your hands that you're never leaving (tell me with your hands that you're-)
Always thought I was hard to love
'Til you made it seem so easy, seem so easy
And that might be an understatement
Anything else? (Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha)
You tell me that I'm indecisive
Fickle, but I try to hide it
Anything else? (Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha)
You tell me that I overthink
'Til I ruin a good thing
Anything else? (Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha)
You tell me that you'd rather fight
Than spend a single peaceful night
With somebody else (ha-ha-ha-ha)
You really, really know me
The future and the old me
All of the mazes and the madness in my mind
You really, really love me
You know me and you love me
And it's the kind of thing I always hoped I'd find (yeah)
Always thought I was hard to love
'Til you made it seem so easy, seem so easy
Always thought I was hard to love
'Til you made it seem so easy, seem so easy
Touch me 'til I find myself, in a feeling
Tell me with your hands that you're never leaving (no)
Always thought I was hard to love
'Til you made it seem so easy (seem so easy)
I never liked my crooked teeth
You tell me they're your favorite thing (mm-hmm)
Anything else? (Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha)

Heal me when I'm broken, oh
All I know is you, saved me and you know it
Saved me and you know it (saved me and you know it)
Always thought I was hard to love
'Til you made it seem so easy, seem so easy (ah)
I always thought I was hard to love
'Til you made it seem so easy, seem so easy ('til you made it, 'til you made it)
Touch me 'til I find myself, in a feeling (a feeling)
Tell me with your hands that you're never leaving (tell me with your hands that you're-)
Always thought I was hard to love
'Til you made it seem so easy, seem so easy

Hayalperest
Hayalperest
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
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.

This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
