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 that dope up in your brain with syringes
Comin through kickin doors off the fuckin hinges
I'm in this like forty fiends on seven day ventures
Comin with my family offend the great beginners
The slender of a never ending back bender
My agenda be the legal tender blue fox in the winter
Say it with me yes mad style in the streets
Bitches that be blowin up my hip with mad reaps
Murder me? You musta never fuckin heard of me
I get thank you letters for my mind, you see, I'm fillin vacancies
And don't even mention surgery, because they awarded me
For bein a man who do the most to boost the industry
Injure me, see the evil spirits enter me
Now it's singletary, now imagine me, an entity (uuhhhh!)
If I cut you through, you not bleed
If I bust up in a guts, douching out ?????
I hear the silent dope fiends scream
It's gotta mean somebody's scheme, on the stash again
I'm spittin hollow points like phlegm
I'd probably bring a friend but he'd say
ease, I'm driftin off in the galaxies
Feel the sea freeze throughout vicinities, eeaaaww!!
While prophecies that kick the sky splits
Omigod, droppin clips is this the end?
Forever I'll be never injured, why because the devil had me shook
I'm shakin, this evil spirits takin flesh is bakin in
Here's a, special delivery, of the pain and misery
Can you maintain it? The degrees of temperature can be caused
I'm the guy that pulls the wool over your eyes, and move
I watch streets, the 45s in the skies, and be
Whatever y'all call that, that bridges the gap
And in suspended animation and reality rap
Picture like Kodak, and wax floors clean, is Kojak
Engine Novak, or front row wigs get blow back
Deacon, comin up the reel with the wicked
Two felony convicted, college ?verbisin?
Murderin, open up your guts kid, what?
I'm diesel like three fifty, woke up with mad cuts
and don't give a fuck
I snatch the soul out your back, so how you figure
You could hold your fuckin own, you're a clone
Alone in the world know ?I Gender be ?
Once a friend of me, now we're known as bitter enemies
Check it, check it
We charge up like a nine volt, drama beef
You better hold I pack a 45 Colt with a mad kick
Cause when I lit, the ho's got snitch
You better duck quick before you get your shirls knicked split
I blaze knock this one, it's on it's on, for reals
Steel pull out, call my bluff, a nigga fade to sear
In a second or a minute I reckon I be in it
Put all rings for high beams tanks ?????????
Enough of this S and M
Them leather wearin bitches whippin men
>From a corner of a dead end, I can't forget my dead friends
And that's what makes my brain sporadic
Plus I got a bad habit, of mixin alcohol with automatics
Who got static? I came to set it off and get this party started
Those who provoke, is gettin choked, I ain't no fuckin joke
My friends won't go anywhere with me, anyone in the vicinitiy
Charged with conspiracy get death by electricity
Niggas get confused, not knowin what I'ma do
I sit and wait for niggas to make an ill-advised move
I save the way that could be from here to there
Bustin shots, some secluded spots you don't know where
So where art thou, where art thou
Talkin about your dead family members, pal, don't fuck around
Or for cryin out loud, tellin' you now from Jump Street
Whoever steps up I'm leavin them bleedin' profusely
I'm that dope up in your brain with syringes
Comin through kickin doors off the fuckin hinges
I'm in this like forty fiends on seven day ventures
Comin with my family offend the great beginners
The slender of a never ending back bender
My agenda be the legal tender blue fox in the winter
Say it with me yes mad style in the streets
Bitches that be blowin up my hip with mad reaps
Murder me? You musta never fuckin heard of me

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”
