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"
Last night I turned on my TV and I couldn't believe what was on
Some fucking rich kid crying cause her, her boyfriend left her cold
Well why the fuck is this shit playing over air?
To make us feel sorry for some fucking millionaire?
Well I was getting pissed and I was getting mad,
I took a chair and smashed it right into the set
Some fucking businessman is crying "Boo-fucking-hoo.."
As he stops and thinks of all the "poor suckers" he screwed
Well I said, Fuck this propaganda, fuck the news, it just
Controls your minds it fills your, head with crap!
You'll scream tonight, so throw it away
You'll scream tonight, so stay away, stay away
It's a commercial about some Barbie type clone blonde
She's six foot four and only weighs one hundred pounds
She looks so natural like a fucking starving child
They sell her body and her self esteem out loud
Some old man sits there drooling at this fucking smut
"If she'd take off her shirt, well that would be good luck!"
"What was she advertising for anyways?"
He can't remember, "But she sure had killer legs..."
Degrading women well it's, nothing new
He's got a hard on now and that's just, fucking, "Great news"
You'll scream tonight, so throw it away
You'll scream tonight, so stay away, stay away
You'll scream tonight, so throw it away
You'll scream tonight, so stay away, stay away
Some fucking rich kid crying cause her, her boyfriend left her cold
Well why the fuck is this shit playing over air?
To make us feel sorry for some fucking millionaire?
Well I was getting pissed and I was getting mad,
I took a chair and smashed it right into the set
Some fucking businessman is crying "Boo-fucking-hoo.."
As he stops and thinks of all the "poor suckers" he screwed
Well I said, Fuck this propaganda, fuck the news, it just
Controls your minds it fills your, head with crap!
You'll scream tonight, so throw it away
You'll scream tonight, so stay away, stay away
It's a commercial about some Barbie type clone blonde
She's six foot four and only weighs one hundred pounds
She looks so natural like a fucking starving child
They sell her body and her self esteem out loud
Some old man sits there drooling at this fucking smut
"If she'd take off her shirt, well that would be good luck!"
"What was she advertising for anyways?"
He can't remember, "But she sure had killer legs..."
Degrading women well it's, nothing new
He's got a hard on now and that's just, fucking, "Great news"
You'll scream tonight, so throw it away
You'll scream tonight, so stay away, stay away
You'll scream tonight, so throw it away
You'll scream tonight, so stay away, stay away

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
