MosDef my favorite Massive Attack song. I just adore it.

I agree with dougievile. It's basically about a man who's in this circular relationship with someone. Maybe they've been together for a while, but she's changing. He spends time remembering the way things used to be -- "where have all those flowers gone? long time passing."

Being in the club with her is pretty much the turning point, and proves to him that it needs to end. "I found a reason" to end it with her. And then she'll "fade into the background" with the rest of the people there.
