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"
Why dream?
We're breaking out of this machine
Lets bathe the walls in gasoline
and watch the fires go
We'll burn this house
We'll raze the fence that keeps us in
The cabinets and the medicine
Beds like box cars in a row
And when the wave comes sweeping
The cold blood sleeping in your veins
Your veins
After the fire
The sun comes crashing
Through a could so black and full of rain
Of rain
After the fire
I swear one day
You will forget them locking us away
Away
After the fire
Locked in
The days will end as the begin
With yellow moonlight on your skin
This madhouse, it's no home
Let's go home
Get the matches
Cut the phone
And when the wave comes sweeping
The cold blood sleeping in your veins
Your veins
After the fire
The sun comes crashing
Through a could so black and full of rain
Of rain
After the fire
I swear one day
You will forget them locking us away
Away
After the fire
We were dancing with the ashes falling
We were singing by the open flame
Let it burn
Tomorrow is another day
We were dancing with the ashes falling
We were singing by the open flame
Let it burn
Tomorrow is another day
When the wave comes sweeping
The cold blood sleeping in your veins
Your veins
After the fire
The sun came crashing
Through a could so black and full of rain
Of rain
After the fire
I swear one day
We will forget them locking us away
Away
After the fire
We will forget them locking us away
Away
After the fire
We're breaking out of this machine
Lets bathe the walls in gasoline
and watch the fires go
We'll burn this house
We'll raze the fence that keeps us in
The cabinets and the medicine
Beds like box cars in a row
And when the wave comes sweeping
The cold blood sleeping in your veins
Your veins
After the fire
The sun comes crashing
Through a could so black and full of rain
Of rain
After the fire
I swear one day
You will forget them locking us away
Away
After the fire
Locked in
The days will end as the begin
With yellow moonlight on your skin
This madhouse, it's no home
Let's go home
Get the matches
Cut the phone
And when the wave comes sweeping
The cold blood sleeping in your veins
Your veins
After the fire
The sun comes crashing
Through a could so black and full of rain
Of rain
After the fire
I swear one day
You will forget them locking us away
Away
After the fire
We were dancing with the ashes falling
We were singing by the open flame
Let it burn
Tomorrow is another day
We were dancing with the ashes falling
We were singing by the open flame
Let it burn
Tomorrow is another day
When the wave comes sweeping
The cold blood sleeping in your veins
Your veins
After the fire
The sun came crashing
Through a could so black and full of rain
Of rain
After the fire
I swear one day
We will forget them locking us away
Away
After the fire
We will forget them locking us away
Away
After the fire

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.
Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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.
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.
