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"
Deep in my sleep (give it up, give it up now)
Deep in my sleep (give it up, give it up now)
I don't, I don't, I don't know why, I don't know why
I don't know why but I can see you far away
As you grow and change and I stay the same but
But I, I'm just like you
I've got, got no name at all
The whole world against you
You give everything
Sometimes I think of doing terrible things
I know I shouldn't think it but I do anyway, oh oh
Maybe I'm just crazy like I got a disease
Feels like I got things that go deep in my sleep
I'm doing terrible things
Give it up, give it up now
T-t-t-terrible things
Give it up, give it up now
In the sky, in my mind, between my eyes
Within my eyes, I don't know why
But can you feel me melt away
As the colors seem to fade and save the day but
Well I, I'm just like you
I've got, got no name at all
The whole world against you
You did everything (deep in my sleep)
Sometimes I think of doing terrible things
I know I shouldn't think it but I do anyway, oh oh
Maybe I'm just crazy like I got a disease
Feels like I got things that go deep in my sleep
I'm doing terrible things
T-t-t-terrible things
Everything you need, everything you need
Give it up, give it up now
It's bigger than your dreams
Bigger than your dreams
Give it up, give it up now
I had a dream so far away
It hit me in a different way (give it up, give it up now)
I had a dream so far away
I had a dream though, I had a dream though (give it up, give it up now)
Sometimes I think of doing terrible things (give it up, give it up now)
I know I shouldn't think it but I do anyway, oh oh (give it up, give it up now)
Maybe I'm just crazy like I got a disease (give it up, give it up now)
Feels like I got things that go deep in my sleep
I'm doing terrible things (give it up, give it up now)
T-t-t-terrible things (give it up, give it up now)
T-t-t-terrible things
Give it up, give it up now
Deep in my sleep (give it up, give it up now)
I don't, I don't, I don't know why, I don't know why
I don't know why but I can see you far away
As you grow and change and I stay the same but
But I, I'm just like you
I've got, got no name at all
The whole world against you
You give everything
Sometimes I think of doing terrible things
I know I shouldn't think it but I do anyway, oh oh
Maybe I'm just crazy like I got a disease
Feels like I got things that go deep in my sleep
I'm doing terrible things
Give it up, give it up now
T-t-t-terrible things
Give it up, give it up now
In the sky, in my mind, between my eyes
Within my eyes, I don't know why
But can you feel me melt away
As the colors seem to fade and save the day but
Well I, I'm just like you
I've got, got no name at all
The whole world against you
You did everything (deep in my sleep)
Sometimes I think of doing terrible things
I know I shouldn't think it but I do anyway, oh oh
Maybe I'm just crazy like I got a disease
Feels like I got things that go deep in my sleep
I'm doing terrible things
T-t-t-terrible things
Everything you need, everything you need
Give it up, give it up now
It's bigger than your dreams
Bigger than your dreams
Give it up, give it up now
I had a dream so far away
It hit me in a different way (give it up, give it up now)
I had a dream so far away
I had a dream though, I had a dream though (give it up, give it up now)
Sometimes I think of doing terrible things (give it up, give it up now)
I know I shouldn't think it but I do anyway, oh oh (give it up, give it up now)
Maybe I'm just crazy like I got a disease (give it up, give it up now)
Feels like I got things that go deep in my sleep
I'm doing terrible things (give it up, give it up now)
T-t-t-terrible things (give it up, give it up now)
T-t-t-terrible things
Give it up, give it up now

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.
