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 will design a town in the image of your face.
Round the wrinkles of your eyes my footsteps you can trace.
We could promenade down infra-nasel depression.
The streets of your hands will never feel a recession.
It's a secular day and it will be even better tomorrow.
It's the first day of the integrated transport hub,
Let us celebrate this monumental progress.
We have reduced emissions by 75%

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
Page

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
Fantastic song, not German myself, but I know a bit, that verse goes
Null Null Null Halt die Stelle, Halt die Stelle (Stop/stay put) Ein Zehn Ralf will was von ihm (Ralf wants that from him) Ein Zwei Drei Vergessen Sie ihren Hut heute nicht (Don't forget your hat today) Drei Vier Funf Und fahren Sie mit uns in ihre Zukunft (Ride/Drive with us into the future) Jetzt, Sechs Zieben Acht Wer hattet das gedacht? (Who thought of that?) Neun Zehn
(After this it's a little hard to understand) Koch, Tante Ute aus den Revue (Cook, Aunt Ute from the revue) Looking at at another site it said Oh Kurt hatte Uta aus der Revue (oh, Kurt had Uta from the revue)
Then (something) kleiner Hund mit keinen Nerz (Small dog with no fur) Null Null Null Halte die Stelle (Stop) Hallo Bonbon (Hello, candy)
Confusing, though its not really supposed to make sense
Not a native German either, but the line is "Oh, guck Tante! Ute aus der Revue," which means "Oh, look auntie! Ute from the Revue!". Easy to miss it, since that 'g' is pronounced as a 'k'.
kraftwerk.
Nice one Bruckley :)
Why is this the only song from Dark Days/Light Years on here?
The "By the speed of light their [something unintelligible]" is "By the speed of light commuters will get home at night."
