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"
And God said let us make man in our image (Tech)
According to our likeness (N9ne)
Let them have dominion over the fish of the sea
over birds of the air, over the cattle, and over all the earth
[Tech N9ne]
Projected image across my soul saying can't (Die)
Many death situations but that ain't (Why)
I got the spirit of an angel mixed with demoniac ways of livin
So this means I'll beat the evil out of a non-believer until praise is given
(But I know)
Torcher is evil though it says in the (Bible)
You got to be righteous spirited for the (Arrival)
I'm righteous and wicked but I wonder (Can I go)
If there's a heaven but on earth it's (Survival)
Connected with angels but to demons (I'm vital)
Approachin with hate oh yes it's (Homocidal)
Like denouncing Selena at (Cinco de Mayo)
Certain death (Oh no) Oh no
I'm on the road to heaven and hell
Don't even bother me ever since eleven and twelve
I've been that prodigy though life has never been swell
Somewhere there's gotta be where a good samaratin prevails
But they get straight sodomy
So I learned the ways of man
Grands
Fillin my pants
Gun in my hand
For the demons on the land
On the other hand I really am
An-ghellic
I ain't got to stress if you can't tell it
Look into my eyes
No surprise
I'm half cupid half relic (Cha cha)
He who treads the path of the best is also he who sins are repentable
But if you ever, ever ever ever hurt a God then we gotta do away with the
genitals
Don't ever do somethin you'll regret
Do away with all these goody goody law abiding mothafuckas and let there be
Tech nigga
[Hook 1]
If anybody say "Fuck me"
Everybody say "Fuck you"
Cause they know my shit's pure
Soul serving and plus true
If anybody say "Fuck me"
Everybody say "Fuck you"
Odd one Tech got that God Complex
[Hook 2] - 2x
Get on your knees and pray
If you step in our way
Cause we spray til they decay
The ones who hate everyday
But how long? (Must we flash and pop)
How long? (Must we show demons we can't be stopped)
[Tech N9ne]
(Can they fuck wit chu?) No
(Their brain frames are too) Slow
(The villain will kill em with new) Flow
(If ya hatin me this is for you) Blow
I've been too humble wit y'all niggas
Time to rumble wit y'all niggas
Me and Don Juan forever we gettin figures
Me and the Rouge Dawgs are kickin it gettin richer
All these fools thinkin they gonna stop me
I'm about to make us a million just watch me
Everybody thinkin they heated but they sloppy
Nigga, that's why you never be sellin copies
(I will) Rise above all of you regardless of (My skrill)
That ain't got shit to do with Tecca the (N9ne skill)
Bust on you rapper cats and proceed to (Make mill 5-6 Vill)
I be seein em down at Mardi Gras gettin flows off
Everything gettin showed off
Not me, tryin to mock me on record head gettin blowed off
Freestyle I admire
But every week you givin away fire
Your rappers license expired
Leavin nothin to be desired
Oh God Bless this particular rapper in K.C
No matter how hard you try, you can't fuck with me
First, learn how to do choruses then try to get people to trust you
If anybody say "Fuck me" everybody say "Fuck you"
[Hook 2] - 2x
Get on your knees and pray
If you step in our way
Cause we spray til they decay
The ones who hate everyday
But how long? (Must we flash and pop)
How long? (Must we show demons we can't be stopped)
[Tech N9ne]
If I offended you in any way (Maybe the shoe fits)
Either that or you just plenty gay (If you're like me)
You don't give a damn you're just enjoyin the flow
To all the people who were offended
I'm about to offend you some mo'
Is God
White, brown, green, red, or even blue?
Is he American, Arabic, Mexican, or even Jew?
Everybody want to be the special and want to be the chosen few
Everybody want to be but they gonna be through
Til you do right by me, everything that you do is gonna be wack
Eveything you built is bout to crack
Everything you did to me is comin back
No where to scat
And I say that
Cause I know Jesus Christ and God is black
And they comin back nigga!
Jeah! Nigga
Like I said, me and Don Juan
Best motherfuckin rapper, best motherfuckin producer
Globally, in Kansas City wherever nigga
And all y'all haters, remember this!

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.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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.
Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
I think that Tech is kind of confused here, he wants to do good and end up in heaven, but ends up being brutal and malefic (1st verse).
The last verse is my favorite one. It's pretty obvious, we can't really know anything for sure, so "hey. maybe I too am God"
There's a constant confrontation of conflicting thoughts on this song, I cant quite figure it out 100%.
