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"
I'm David Makalaster
Your ten o'clock newscaster
And the shit has
Just hit the fan
I'm David Makalaster
Your ten o'clock newscaster
There's a scrouge
Trampin' cross our land
The film I'm about to show you
Will fill and overflow you
With a rage that's
Beyond command
I'm David Makalaster
Your ten o'clock newscaster
Good evening and
Here's what's new
Wouldn't it be so nice
To live in a world
Where everything's exactly
How it seems
But we live in a world
Where bastards come along
And piss on your dreams
About the things that make ya happy
The things that make ya smile
Get off your ass
Vengeance is back in style
I'm David Makalaster
Your ten o'clock newscaster
And perhaps you didn't
Hear me right
I'm David Makalaster
Your ten o'clock newscaster
Every man Jack of you
Should volunteer to fight
If I were only ten years younger
I'd slake this vengeful hunges
And rest assured we'd all
Sleep safe tonight
This is David Makalaster
Your ten o'clock newscaster
Good evening and God bless you
Wouldn't it be so nice
To live in a world
Where everything's exactly
How it seems
But we live in a world
Where bastards come along
And piss on your dreams
About the things that make ya happy
The things that make ya smile
Get off your ass
Vengeance is back in style
Your ten o'clock newscaster
And the shit has
Just hit the fan
I'm David Makalaster
Your ten o'clock newscaster
There's a scrouge
Trampin' cross our land
The film I'm about to show you
Will fill and overflow you
With a rage that's
Beyond command
I'm David Makalaster
Your ten o'clock newscaster
Good evening and
Here's what's new
Wouldn't it be so nice
To live in a world
Where everything's exactly
How it seems
But we live in a world
Where bastards come along
And piss on your dreams
About the things that make ya happy
The things that make ya smile
Get off your ass
Vengeance is back in style
I'm David Makalaster
Your ten o'clock newscaster
And perhaps you didn't
Hear me right
I'm David Makalaster
Your ten o'clock newscaster
Every man Jack of you
Should volunteer to fight
If I were only ten years younger
I'd slake this vengeful hunges
And rest assured we'd all
Sleep safe tonight
This is David Makalaster
Your ten o'clock newscaster
Good evening and God bless you
Wouldn't it be so nice
To live in a world
Where everything's exactly
How it seems
But we live in a world
Where bastards come along
And piss on your dreams
About the things that make ya happy
The things that make ya smile
Get off your ass
Vengeance is back in style

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
about the reality of the world
this seems to be a counterpoint to the first david makalaster song. pretty much a straightforward song. stand up and fight
To me, it's about being controlled by the media. Some guy telling you that you should be enraged and you should go out and fight, but you're not really enraged and maybe you shouldn't go out and fight.
Its a about media influence in both direction, one direction is candy coat, in a way i think it's more about conversative media ex: Fox News. Whereas the other song, DMII, is more geared to liberal media ex: MSNBC. So I guess I basically agree with 408 haight and Polaris589, yes it's a counter point, but... Well, Polaris fills in from there. My take on the song anyways. Remeber this is a concept album, compare the duo to Whamola. After all the song title is DMII, that's significant.
