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"
The cold concrete cuts against her back
And her spirit spills with blood onto the pavement
Hands tied so tight behind her neck
And a silence falls, and everything changes
And everything dies, to you nothing's alive, to you anymore
I guess you've gotten more than you might have wanted
If I could take your pain away
I would scream for you
I would bleed for you
So you'll never feel this way
Again when you're in my arms
I would scream for you
I will bleed for you
She drowns herself until the images erase
But the skin is bruised all along her thighs
Nightmares repeat refrain the memories remain
In mental photographs haunting all the time so
She shuts her eyes, to you she tries to hide
From you, she falls asleep into dreams where she is safe
If I could take your pain away
I would scream for you
And I'll bleed for you
So you'll never feel this way
Again when you're in my arms
I would scream for you
I will bleed for you
Put the weight on my shoulders
And the pain in my heart
Tie the knots in my stomach and you'll let it tear me apart.
So tear me apart.
So I could be everything you need
And this silence strips me bare,
and your body pins me down.
I've never been so scared to breathe,
afraid to make a sound.
And all I know is you'll never let me go..
Just kick and scream, bite and bleed,
and make believe it's all a dream.
And her spirit spills with blood onto the pavement
Hands tied so tight behind her neck
And a silence falls, and everything changes
And everything dies, to you nothing's alive, to you anymore
I guess you've gotten more than you might have wanted
If I could take your pain away
I would scream for you
I would bleed for you
So you'll never feel this way
Again when you're in my arms
I would scream for you
I will bleed for you
She drowns herself until the images erase
But the skin is bruised all along her thighs
Nightmares repeat refrain the memories remain
In mental photographs haunting all the time so
She shuts her eyes, to you she tries to hide
From you, she falls asleep into dreams where she is safe
If I could take your pain away
I would scream for you
And I'll bleed for you
So you'll never feel this way
Again when you're in my arms
I would scream for you
I will bleed for you
Put the weight on my shoulders
And the pain in my heart
Tie the knots in my stomach and you'll let it tear me apart.
So tear me apart.
So I could be everything you need
And this silence strips me bare,
and your body pins me down.
I've never been so scared to breathe,
afraid to make a sound.
And all I know is you'll never let me go..
Just kick and scream, bite and bleed,
and make believe it's all a dream.

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.
Magical

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
It's "So you'll NEVER feel this way again". Otherwise, nice work on the lyrics.
