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"
Now the skies could fall
Not even if my boss should call
The world it seems so very small
'Cause nothin' even matters, at all
See nothin' even matters
See nothin' even matters at all
Nothin' even matters
Nothin' even matters at all
See, I don't need no alcohol
Your love makes me feel ten feet tall
Without it, I'd go through withdrawal
'Cause nothin' even matters at all
Nothin' even matters
Nothin' even matters at all
Nothin' even matters
Nothin' even matters at all
These buildings could drift out to sea
Some natural catastrophe
Still there's no place I'd rather be
'Cause nothin' even matters to me
See nothin' even matters
See nothin' even matters to me
Nothin' even matters
Nothin' even matters to me
You're part of my identity
I sometimes have the tendency
To look at you religiously, baby
'Cause nothin' even matters to me
Nothin' even matters
Nothin' even matters to me
Said I don't, my baby, baby
Now you won't find me at no store
I have no time for manicures
With you it's never either or
'Cause nothin' even matters no more
See nothin', it don't matters
See nothin' even matters no more
Nothin' even matters
Nothin' even matters no more
Now my team could score
And make it to the final four
Just repossess my 4 x 4
'Cause nothin' even matters no more
Nothin' even matters
Nothin' even matters no more
Nothin' even matters, oh oh oh
To me, to me, to me, to me, to me
To me, to me, to me, to me, to me
Nothing even matters
Nothing even matters no more
Nothing even matters
Nothing even matters
Nothing but you
Nothing but you
Nothing but you
Not even if my boss should call
The world it seems so very small
'Cause nothin' even matters, at all
See nothin' even matters
See nothin' even matters at all
Nothin' even matters
Nothin' even matters at all
See, I don't need no alcohol
Your love makes me feel ten feet tall
Without it, I'd go through withdrawal
'Cause nothin' even matters at all
Nothin' even matters
Nothin' even matters at all
Nothin' even matters
Nothin' even matters at all
These buildings could drift out to sea
Some natural catastrophe
Still there's no place I'd rather be
'Cause nothin' even matters to me
See nothin' even matters
See nothin' even matters to me
Nothin' even matters
Nothin' even matters to me
You're part of my identity
I sometimes have the tendency
To look at you religiously, baby
'Cause nothin' even matters to me
Nothin' even matters
Nothin' even matters to me
Said I don't, my baby, baby
Now you won't find me at no store
I have no time for manicures
With you it's never either or
'Cause nothin' even matters no more
See nothin', it don't matters
See nothin' even matters no more
Nothin' even matters
Nothin' even matters no more
Now my team could score
And make it to the final four
Just repossess my 4 x 4
'Cause nothin' even matters no more
Nothin' even matters
Nothin' even matters no more
Nothin' even matters, oh oh oh
To me, to me, to me, to me, to me
To me, to me, to me, to me, to me
Nothing even matters
Nothing even matters no more
Nothing even matters
Nothing even matters
Nothing but you
Nothing but you
Nothing but you

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.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
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.
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.
This is the best song I've ever heard from her.
