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"
You fear change and all that is new
Stand in the way of progress
Like primitive man afraid of fire
Till the explored it's many uses
The power of the atom at our disposal
Yet it called unsafe
Nuclear energy so clean and pure
Your ignorance is a disgrace
Do not resist
It is your destiny
Have wr not all became
The children of technology
Holding fate in a magnetic grip
Of all your irrational fears
The shadow of machinery cast upon the flesh
Blood swent and gears
The robots of dawn offsprings of industry
Stop you in the cobalt blue light
One fell swoop and you've become a memory
Away with your intrusive life
Into the reactor!
You worship a deadman hung with nails
Only a fool would die for the sins of humanity
On your knees before electronics
Lets replace this religious insanity
Tear down the chures instead of thetrounds
Build there the holy reactors
Give us the children science and math
In place of bibles and pastors
You bleeding heart liberals
Who oppose the nuclear regulatory commission
Must be completed to retire
You serve only as obstacles and should be used
To fuel the nuclear pyre
Stand in the way of progress
Like primitive man afraid of fire
Till the explored it's many uses
The power of the atom at our disposal
Yet it called unsafe
Nuclear energy so clean and pure
Your ignorance is a disgrace
Do not resist
It is your destiny
Have wr not all became
The children of technology
Holding fate in a magnetic grip
Of all your irrational fears
The shadow of machinery cast upon the flesh
Blood swent and gears
The robots of dawn offsprings of industry
Stop you in the cobalt blue light
One fell swoop and you've become a memory
Away with your intrusive life
Into the reactor!
You worship a deadman hung with nails
Only a fool would die for the sins of humanity
On your knees before electronics
Lets replace this religious insanity
Tear down the chures instead of thetrounds
Build there the holy reactors
Give us the children science and math
In place of bibles and pastors
You bleeding heart liberals
Who oppose the nuclear regulatory commission
Must be completed to retire
You serve only as obstacles and should be used
To fuel the nuclear pyre

Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
Blue

“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.
Technophobia is the fear or dislike of advanced technology or complex devices, especially computers. The term is generally used in the sense of an irrational fear, but others contend fears are justified. It is the opposite of technophilia. First receiving widespread notice during the Industrial Revolution, technophobia has been observed to affect various demographics throughout the world. This has caused some groups to take stances against some modern technological developments in order to preserve their ideologies. In some of these cases, the new technologies conflict with established beliefs, such as personal values in simplicity and modest lifestyles. A number of examples of technophobic ideas can be found in multiple forms of art, ranging from literary works such as Frankenstein to classic films like "Metropolis". Many of these works portray the darker side of technology as seen by the technophobic. As technologies become increasingly complex and difficult to understand, people are more likely to harbor anxieties relating to their use of modern technologies

Instead of an apply to jump forward into technological evolution, in which way this song can be readd, I think Peter Steele was warning tht human will be completely put aside for the advance of technology.
