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"
Yo
I'm a hot and bothered astronaut
Crashing while jacking off
To buffering vids of Asher Roth
Eattin' apple sauce
Sent to Earth to poke Catholics in the ass with saws
And knock blunt ashes into their caskets
And laugh it off
Twisted sicker than mad cattle
In fact I'm off
Six different liquors
With a Prince wig plastered on
Stop screamin', bitch, you shouldn't be that alarmed
When Big Lips is in the Attic Arms with an addicts arm
Earl puts the 'ass' in "assassin."
Puts the pieces of decomposing bodies in plastic
Puts 'em in a pan and mixes it up with scat
Then gobbles it like fat black bitches and catfish
It so happens that I'm so haphazardous
I'll puke a piece and put it on a hook
And fucking cast the shit
I'm asking that you faggot rap actors take action
And get a hall pass from this class-act shit
How the fuck I fit a axe in a satchel?
Slip capsules in the glass, you dizzy rascal
Party staff baffled, asking where her ass go
In my room redefining the meaning of black holes
Before I suck it up. But hurry
I got nuts to bust, and butts to fuck, and ups to shut
And sluts to fucking uppercut
It's OF, buttercup, go ahead, fuck with us
Without a doubt
A sure-fire way to get your mother fucked
Asked for a couple bucks
Shove a trumpet up her butt
Play a song, invade her thong
My dick is having guts for lunch
As well as supper, then I rummage through her ruptured cunt
Found the mustard
Fuckin' nosey neighbors notice something's up
"Whatcha doin'?"
Nothin' much
Would shout some other stuff
Gotta fucking bounce
Guess the bouncers had enough of us
"Fuck you doin'? Eat my dick! I'll eat your ass!"
"Fuck T in the ass, man"
"Ay, fuck you!"
"Fuck that nigga, man!"
Get 'em off the pavement
Whipe the dirt and vomit off
DopeBoyz hatin' but them faggots is a lot of talk
Cotton soft, pussy
Them Odd niggas is molotov
Cocktails fuckin' toss 'em into your apartment, dog
Wolf Gang, we ain't barkin', nawh
Try talkin' on a blog with your fuckin' arms cut off
Put 'em in carpet and watch 'em get auctioned off to Ace
Tell Shakes daughter we're sorry but poppa's gone, bitch
Odd Future Wolf Gang, nigga
Fuck them 2DopeBoyz, niggas
Odd Future Wolf Gang Kill Them All,
Don't give a fuck, nigga
Stay pop, nigga
Earl, whaddup nigga?
Fuck Steve Harvey
I'm a hot and bothered astronaut
Crashing while jacking off
To buffering vids of Asher Roth
Eattin' apple sauce
Sent to Earth to poke Catholics in the ass with saws
And knock blunt ashes into their caskets
And laugh it off
Twisted sicker than mad cattle
In fact I'm off
Six different liquors
With a Prince wig plastered on
Stop screamin', bitch, you shouldn't be that alarmed
When Big Lips is in the Attic Arms with an addicts arm
Earl puts the 'ass' in "assassin."
Puts the pieces of decomposing bodies in plastic

@[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.

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” 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.
definitely ups to chuck... not ups to shut.
