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 always said we'd meet again
You always said you'd be here
You touch the deepest part of me
The places I could not save
Just tell me why I'm so dark inside
Somewhere, I will find
All the pieces torn apart, you just left behind
In your mystery
Somewhere I will see
All you taken from me
All you kept deep inside
In the mystery of you!
The mystery of you!
It's obvious you understand the blood that on my hands
I'm paralyzed, I can't escape
Until I see your face
You're all I know
Somewhere, I will find
All the pieces torn apart, you just left behind
In your mystery
Somewhere I will see
All you taken from me
All you kept deep inside
In the mystery of you!
The mystery of you!
You're all I know
You're all I know oh, oh, oh
Don't go oh, oh, oh
Don't go oh, oh, oh
Somewhere, I will find
All the pieces torn apart, you filled me deep inside
The mystery of you
Somewhere
Somewhere
They mysteries of you
Somewhere
You always said you'd be here
You touch the deepest part of me
The places I could not save
Just tell me why I'm so dark inside
Somewhere, I will find
All the pieces torn apart, you just left behind
In your mystery
Somewhere I will see
All you taken from me
All you kept deep inside
In the mystery of you!
The mystery of you!
It's obvious you understand the blood that on my hands
I'm paralyzed, I can't escape
Until I see your face
You're all I know
Somewhere, I will find
All the pieces torn apart, you just left behind
In your mystery
Somewhere I will see
All you taken from me
All you kept deep inside
In the mystery of you!
The mystery of you!
You're all I know
You're all I know oh, oh, oh
Don't go oh, oh, oh
Don't go oh, oh, oh
Somewhere, I will find
All the pieces torn apart, you filled me deep inside
The mystery of you
Somewhere
Somewhere
They mysteries of you
Somewhere

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.

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

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.
Plums sorry it most definitely not is about a girl, you can interpret it that way go ahead, but I'm sure Red would sing about more important things about this especially on this album.
Anyway I absolutely like this song! It's so amazing because, I don't think, it's talking about God leaving us. I believe it's talking about the mystery of Him. How amazing is that? If we had a God whom we would know everything about why worship Him? If we could figure God out there honestly wouldn't be any point to listening to Him because we, essentially, would know everything God knows.
"Somewhere I will find all the pieces torn apart You just left behind in your mystery"
Look at it this way: why do we study Scripture? To know God better, and through that to have a more intimate and deep relationship with Christ. As for the "torn apart" bit I'm not entirely sure why the singer would say that. Maybe he's referring to the mystery as pieces, like a puzzle possibly, that are torn apart. I say this because the next line("You just left behind in your mystery") I always think of when Jesus ascended into Heaven. He left us behind, and so He gave us the Councillor (the Holy Spirit) to guide us, and the Holy Spirit is such a mystery.
In this book called "The Shack" the author refers to the Holy Spirit as "working in mysterious ways". It's a great book, it is a work of fiction, but I believe some things in it can be linked to Scripture. It's an amazing read, and it is quick as well!
Forgiven123, it is true that He makes himself distant and mysterious. He seems that way because all of His actions He has done in your life are beyond our understanding.
