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"
Oh my love oh my love
I can't hear you my love
tell me where have you gone
oh my love oh my love
I can't taste you my love
tell me what have I done?
Plug it in now
So I can digest you
I will taste you
Far away far away
I can't feel you today
I need healing my love
Appetite running fast, following my gut
Turning up every rock
You're disappearing my love
I need louder that this
Please fill me up
Good tidings I bring to you and your sin
I'll forgive
Come to me plug it in
So I can digest you
I will taste you
My appetite in that whole
tempt you with it now
I will taste you
Please shake me and tug
I need shaking my love
Can't you be the one
I can't fake it my love
I need filling come on
I need it louder than bombs
Come to me plug it in
So I can digest you
I will taste you
My appetite in that whole
tempt you with it now
I will taste you
If you remember my love
Going up from above
Are you listening love?
Throw your tears away
This tempting
Game from my gut
I will taste you
I will taste you (I've got a big mouth)
I've got a big mouth
I will taste you
I've got a big mouth I will taste you
I will taste you
Oh my love oh my love
I can't hear you my love
Tell em where have you gone
Far away far away
I can't feel you today
I need healing, love Oh my love
Oh my love
Oh my love
I can't hear you my love
tell me where have you gone
oh my love oh my love
I can't taste you my love
tell me what have I done?
Plug it in now
So I can digest you
I will taste you
Far away far away
I can't feel you today
I need healing my love
Appetite running fast, following my gut
Turning up every rock
You're disappearing my love
I need louder that this
Please fill me up
Good tidings I bring to you and your sin
I'll forgive
Come to me plug it in
So I can digest you
I will taste you
My appetite in that whole
tempt you with it now
I will taste you
Please shake me and tug
I need shaking my love
Can't you be the one
I can't fake it my love
I need filling come on
I need it louder than bombs
Come to me plug it in
So I can digest you
I will taste you
My appetite in that whole
tempt you with it now
I will taste you
If you remember my love
Going up from above
Are you listening love?
Throw your tears away
This tempting
Game from my gut
I will taste you
I will taste you (I've got a big mouth)
I've got a big mouth
I will taste you
I've got a big mouth I will taste you
I will taste you
Oh my love oh my love
I can't hear you my love
Tell em where have you gone
Far away far away
I can't feel you today
I need healing, love Oh my love
Oh my love
Oh my love

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

I agree about the "I’ve got a big mouth"-part... she definitely should have skipped it. Yet, I wonder how many people would be able to make a song about oral sex sound beautiful and not just tacky. She's one of those people who can, and this song proves it.
