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"

Microphone Techniques
Please check it out
Get up everybody, it's time to sway, okay
Greg Nice is on the mic with no delay
Get up everybody, it's time to sway, okay
Greg Nice is on the mic with no delay
She, said, her name was Lola
I, said, yo Lola, swolla
Suave bola, Ayatollah
Saudi Arabia, Coca-Cola
My Rolex watch is ran by solar
Get down, peep my mic technique
Let's freak, let's freak, let's freak to the beat
Cheques get cashed at the end of the week
C'mon, deck the halls with skins and party
Gainin' weight 'cause I do eat hearty
When I wanna get tipsy I drink Bacardi
Greg Nice, I'm outta here, ghost!
"I'm on the microphone"
"I'm on the microphone"
"I'm on the microphone"
"I'm on the microphone"
"I'm on the microphone"
Uncle Fester, the bald head jester
Not me, the minister, the mic molester
Five-oh arrest a G, doin' ill deeds
Took a ho to pull out the weeds
Droppin' G, the case court is to hobos
Kickin' the bobo, chewin' on a Rolo
Ain't a Volvo with no paid promos
Sippin' cocoa and rollin' up momos
Fee fie foe fum I need awake drums
The buns ain't mack 'cause your breath hums
No Funky Drummer loser pass summons
But you can't stop the "humrush" hummings
Like Roto-Rooter layin' pipes like a plumber
Nice and smooth 'cause three's a prime number
I go brick church buildin' when I'm sleepin'
So flip off my tip, I rip the mic techniquein'
"I'm on the microphone"
"I'm on the microphone"
"I'm on the microphone"
"I'm on the microphone"
"I'm on the microphone"
"I'm on the microphone"
"I'm on the microphone"
I praise the Lord that I'm no longer a vandal
Kiss my daughter goodnight, then I light a white candle
And sit back and meditate
Evaluate, appreciate
'Cause I didn't have to be here, on wax
Unveiling a truth with proof of all facts
'Cause in my life I see the life of many others
Various shades of colors, sisters brothers
And once my soul leaves my bodily shell
I believe to receive a new vale
Of some conscious subconscious abode
Chose by few on the positive road
A man is judged by the goodness of his heart
So who's to say who's dumb and who's smart?
Aiyyo Serch (what up?) I came to hear you speak
Get on the mic and flaunt your microphone technique
"I'm on the microphone"
"I'm on the microphone"
"I'm on the microphone"
"I'm on the microphone"
"I'm on the microphone"
"I'm on the microphone"
"I'm on the microphone"
Watch me shine til it's time for sundown
I had a scuffle with a kid, it only went one round
I got a girl so there's no need to sex a ho
But I gas 'em up just like they're at Texaco
Ring goes my phone, so I pick it up and say, "what up?"
Somebody's flippin', so I tell him to shut up
We'd use a F-word, but Ice Cube got the copyright
So I'll make it "Funky For You" with Greg Nice
And his partner Smooth B
Watch the Superbowl, just for Bud Bowl III
Then I watch Living Color, 'cause "homey don't play dat"
Money like my honey in my crib and it'll stay that way
The equality variety
You don't like it then you're gonna join the Dead Poet's Society
Try to flip on what this quartet speaks
And Serch will disperse, the microphone techniques

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.
Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
Blue

Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
