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"
Love is easy, whichever way you start
Take a diamond, slice it through your heart
And watch what color bleeds
Tasked which sweetness, decimation stings
For inamorata and swan-like sway
For valentine and twinning flame
On whiff of pain and cross
Your cedar burns, aflame
I'm down for bewitching trains and cursed hour
Masts blacked as windswept, horizons ever sour
If it takes more to find you
Than setting out a faded sun
Can you feel the same?
Do the stars inked on my face state what's changed?
With a distance I can't make
From a distance I can't make
For tango-smith and cantor camoused
For anguished scrive and maelstrom mouse
On scent of pain and cross
Your cedar burns, aflame at loss
Can you feel the same?
Do the stars inked on my face state what's changed?
With a distance I can't make
From a distance I can't make
I'm down for bewitching trains and cursed hour
Masts blacked as windswept, horizons ever sour
If it takes more to find you
Than setting out a faded sun
Love is easy, whichever way you start
Take a diamond, slice it through your heart
Can you feel the same?
Do the stars inked on my face state what's changed?
With a distance I can't make
From a distance I can't make
Take a diamond, slice it through your heart
And watch what color bleeds
Tasked which sweetness, decimation stings
For inamorata and swan-like sway
For valentine and twinning flame
On whiff of pain and cross
Your cedar burns, aflame
I'm down for bewitching trains and cursed hour
Masts blacked as windswept, horizons ever sour
If it takes more to find you
Than setting out a faded sun
Can you feel the same?
Do the stars inked on my face state what's changed?
With a distance I can't make
From a distance I can't make
For tango-smith and cantor camoused
For anguished scrive and maelstrom mouse
On scent of pain and cross
Your cedar burns, aflame at loss
Can you feel the same?
Do the stars inked on my face state what's changed?
With a distance I can't make
From a distance I can't make
I'm down for bewitching trains and cursed hour
Masts blacked as windswept, horizons ever sour
If it takes more to find you
Than setting out a faded sun
Love is easy, whichever way you start
Take a diamond, slice it through your heart
Can you feel the same?
Do the stars inked on my face state what's changed?
With a distance I can't make
From a distance I can't make

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 is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.

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.
Nobody listens to this band anymore. At least, not crucially. Not the way we used to. It's the signs of the times. I come here as an old fan jaded by this creepy, disgusting, new SP that has no relation to the old band.
All popular music now has to bow down and sell out to the satanic order, that is, freemasons. You'll see it a lot in rap music, a bit less in rock music but rock is making a more popular comeback, thus you'll see it more in rock too. All seeing eyes, pyramids, snakes, artists making diamond shapes, diamond and pyramid light shows, etc etc.
It's well known among people who have studied Billy's history that he is now a freemason and has sold his band to satan. Thus, the records for the last 10 years that have been draped in odd cryptic meanderings are actually 100% crystal clear once you view it in the lens of freemasonry. That being said, this one's kinda mild.
Let's start with the 2nd single off the newest record.
"Love is easy, whichever way you start Take a diamond, slice it through your heart And watch what color bleeds Tasked which sweetness, decimation stings For inamorata and swan-like sway For valentine and twinning flame On whiff of pain and cross Your cedar burns, aflame"
Nothing too odd here, just romance and some odd symbolism I'll reflect on. "Diamond through your heart" is an obvious FM reference; and many freemason fire rituals happen with elites in forests of cedar. The flag of Lebanon is also symbolized with a cedar tree.
"Can you feel the same? Do the stars inked on my face state what's changed?"
---- what has changed, Billy? I think you know. It's more than the symbolism on your face, but that's part of it.
"For tango-smith and cantor camoused For anguished scrive and maelstrom mouse On scent of pain and cross Your cedar burns, aflame at loss" --- there's your cedar reference, again
