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"
Castin' my fears into the fire
The blue smoke arose
Time to get it movin' I suppose
Why the enchantment responds to Minister Earth
Plain existence
Follow these sentence structures
Fine art
In clothes his majesty stepped into the summit
My point has registered
One-thousand-nine-hundred-and-ninety-seven Legend Earth years to present
Passed beyond the heavens too many
Of a caliber emcees who rock well, tell it
Intelligence while we skip the hate
Trailin' off into the sunset
To test 'coherentness'
But comin' hell a fresh
While the rest seem effortless
Attempts imagine this
No wish, no storm, no wand, no spell
Magical times without a hail enhancin' the bliss
That you hear while you keepin' this in fear
[Chorus: x 2]
Magical times, we movin' on enchantment
Of musical minds, we be the strong lastin'
Everlastin'
Tell me, can you feel the magic?
We have it bottled and stored
Movin' forward with our swords made of tongue
All aboard, time to hear the ocean's roar
Collect the potion for the sky through which we soar
Has no walls
No boundaries
We fall through the atmosphere freely
See me with a tape in hand made from nothing really
But it includes my soul and my whole take on life
You can nod your head and make the magic shine bright
You don't need X-ray vision or a super power to be
The initial fee is seven, but after that it's free
It's like a tree, and I go deeper than what you see on the surface
Servicin' all; relax, quit feelin' nervous
Stand up tall, face the music
Take advantage, go 'head and use it
Profusion with the rest, and I feel the (unknown) just stupid
I have trooped with many groups through this land of the enchanted
Waiting for my turn to have my wishes granted
[Chorus: x 2]
At the beginning of this weakness was the foolish and the ultimate hope lost
Wanting to turn iron into gold to roll the Earth off
Of the same axis, to rotate throughout the gate
Causin' ripples of tide
And distortion of space-time continuum
I'm doin' somethin' also would hurt
So prepare for the work of a king
Minus perk I'm a jerk
Your far thought two and two upset to just rest on the pillow of death
And just rest
[Chorus]
Eclipse 427 beats plus magical speech
I hope you reach
The top
And Murs, you better not stop
When Mystikal freestyles, then everyone drops (watch)
Side-O.P., cast some spells lyrically
Big Shotz, it appears to me you have the magic
Arata and Asop, yeah, they have it
Eligh, makin' fools careers look tragic
Gonna bag it up and take it home
We got that shit sewn fit-formed to my palms
So everyone just sit calm
And it'll be over in a few
Mystic Journeymen, that's fam
I thought you knew
We all magic
Brad, Jeff, Leslie and my momma
We all magic
Even Bizarro's magic
[Chorus: x 4]
Strong lastin'
Everlastin'
Everlastin'
Everlastin'
Magical times, we movin' on enchantment
Of musical minds, we be the strong lastin'
Everlastin'
Peace
The blue smoke arose
Time to get it movin' I suppose

Holiday

@[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.
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
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.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
