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 think we're assholes you don't know shit
Never even met us you hateful little prick
We never were a straight edge band
You're thinking of DC
We drink, We smoke, We fuck, We fight
We're no PC fantasy
So if we're assholes just let us be
Do what you want with your life, but don't judge me
We drink, We smoke, We fuck, We fight, We fuck...
Never even met us you hateful little prick
We never were a straight edge band
You're thinking of DC
We drink, We smoke, We fuck, We fight
We're no PC fantasy
So if we're assholes just let us be
Do what you want with your life, but don't judge me
We drink, We smoke, We fuck, We fight, We fuck...

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.

Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

Pure Awesomeness
Minor Threat kicks these guys ass's.
ASS, I mean... Minor Threat would kick their ASS. I understand some people can have problems with the whole straight edge movement, but I think this song is just being disrespectful to Minor Threat.
This song is stupid, it just shows how ignorant people can be. I feel sorry for their fans and the band memebers as well
Hey ShyboyswinXO....you dont know shit.
Now it's you who've wiped out the few who impose their rules on all of you.
What have you changed is it a game? and death is all you get.
Can you tell me what will the revolution change?
Uh...this song has nothing to do with Minor Threat. It's not an attack on them - they were friends back in the day. The line "you're thinking of DC" refers, specifically, to the band DC Youth Brigade, who were edge. Also, straight edge people need to dissociate itself from Minor Threat. They never preached, it was just Ian's take on life - get over it, he sure did.
