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"
If it hurts kiss it better. You wear skirts I write nice letters. Never said nothin but "flowers", though we always talk for hours. And I know it gets much colder when I cry on my own shoulder. But we know the show will go on. Guess I know I guess I'll throw on. Jefferson airplane I'm trapped and I am enclosed. But I won't complain or open all the windows. Jefferson airplane I'm trapped and I am enclosed. But I won't complain or open all the windows. 'Cause when it's colder I feel much better when I cry on my own should. Just thow on a sweater and go. And I'll go to where the weather's nice and warm. And I'll go to where I am reborn. And I'll go 'cause in my dreams I can't complain. And I'll fly on my Jefferson Airplane. You make the calls I cover my ears. Niagra Falls still flows on New Year's. I will save your plugging neckline. Kiss your face, you try to deck mine. If I behave it's gonna cost him. Skip the rave in downtown Boston. We all know the show will go on. Guess I know I guess I'll throw on. Jefferson airplane I'm trapped and I am enclosed. But I won't complain or open all the windows. Jefferson airplane I'm trapped and I am enclosed. But I won't complain or open all the windows. 'Cause when it's colder I feel much better when I cry on my own should. Just thow on a sweater and go. And I'll go to where the weather's nice and warm. And I'll go to where I am reborn. And I'll go 'cause in my dreams I can't complain. And I'll fly on my Jefferson Airplane. Jefferson airplane I'm trapped and I am enclosed. But I won't complain or open all the windows. Jefferson airplane I'm trapped and I am enclosed. But I won't complain or open all the windows. 'Cause when it's colder I feel much better when I cry on my own should. Just thow on a sweater and go.

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.

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.
I guess someone got on and changed the lyrics for some reason. The lyrics to the demo of Jefferson Airplane that I have are this:
These are the lyrics for Pressing On! The lyrics for the Jefferson Airplane (demo) are this:
If it hurts, Kiss it better You wear skirts, I write nice letters Never said nothing with flowers Though we always talked for hours And it seems to get much colder When you cry on your own shoulder And we know the show Must go on Guess I know I guess I'll throw on
Some Jefferson Airplane I'm trapped and I am enclosed But I won't complain I'll open all the windows Jefferson airplane I'm trapped and I am enclosed But I won't complain I'll open all the windows
'Cause when it's colder I feel much better When I cry on my own shoulder I'll just throw on a sweater and go
And I'll go to where the weather's nice and warm And I'll go to where I am reborn And I'll go, cause in my dreams I can't complain And I'll go on my Jefferson Airplane
You make the calls I'll cover my ears Niagra falls Still flows on New Year's I will save Your plunging neckline Kiss your face You try to deck mine If I behave it's going to cost him Skip the rave in downtown boston And we know the show Must go on Guess I know I guess I'll throw on
Some Jefferson Airplane I'm trapped and I am enclosed But I won't complain I'll open all the windows Jefferson airplane I'm trapped and I am enclosed But I won't complain I'll open all the windows
'Cause when it's colder I feel much better When I cry on my own shoulder I'll just throw on a sweater and go
And I'll go to where the weather's nice and warm And I'll go to where in a sense, I am reborn And I'll go, cause in my dreams I can't complain And I'll fly on my Jefferson Airplane
Jefferson Airplane I'm trapped and I am enclosed But I won't complain I'll open all the windows Jefferson airplane I'm trapped and I am enclosed But I won't complain I'll open all the windows
'Cause when it's colder I feel much better When I cry on my own shoulder I'll just throw on a sweater and go
