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"
There's something natural in the way you touch me
Yeah yeah
It's a feeling that I can't describe
Yeah Yeah
There's something mystic in the soul connection
Yeah Yeah
There's something magic in your misty eyes
Yeah Yeah
Don't you say that it's all the same
Yeah Yeah
Don't you say that it's all the same
No, cause there's something that I can't explain
About this
There's something that I can't explain
Yeah I can't explain
oh no
yeah yeah
Before the matters over
I want to shape the question
I want to leave it for now without another mention
I should have let you go
Instead of holding on
Inside the eye of my mind
The mystery has formed
No use in looking for 'em
You know it isn't there
And you can stare all you want
The answers wont appear
I try to find it but I lose myself
I lose myself in you
Said I lose myself in you
Yes, I lose myself in you
And you know you're only wasting time
Breathe easy
The question and the sweetening line
Breathe easy
The feeling know no name
It is what it is
It is what it is and there is no explaining what it is
What it is
There's something natural in the way you touch me
Yeah yeah
It's a feeling that I can't describe
Yeah Yeah
There's something mystic in the soul connection
Yeah Yeah
There's something magic in your misty eyes
Yeah Yeah
Don't you say that it's all the same
Yeah Yeah
Don't you say that it's all the same
No, cause there's something that I can't explain
About this
There's something that I can't explain
Yeah yeah
It's a feeling that I can't describe
Yeah Yeah
There's something mystic in the soul connection
Yeah Yeah
There's something magic in your misty eyes
Yeah Yeah
Don't you say that it's all the same
Yeah Yeah
Don't you say that it's all the same
No, cause there's something that I can't explain
About this
There's something that I can't explain
Yeah I can't explain
oh no
yeah yeah
Before the matters over
I want to shape the question
I want to leave it for now without another mention
I should have let you go
Instead of holding on
Inside the eye of my mind
The mystery has formed
No use in looking for 'em
You know it isn't there
And you can stare all you want
The answers wont appear
I try to find it but I lose myself
I lose myself in you
Said I lose myself in you
Yes, I lose myself in you
And you know you're only wasting time
Breathe easy
The question and the sweetening line
Breathe easy
The feeling know no name
It is what it is
It is what it is and there is no explaining what it is

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.
