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"
Beats! Bass!
The sound sinister
Administer ways to set the world ablaze
Tracks flamed
Untamed bass raps unchained
Overseer saw the skys turn grey
Doomsday tidal waves from the US to the UK
Back against the wall
I stand tall
Face the grim
Blow decibels way past known levels
My method of madness is this
Sadness, gladness
All emotions evoked
Thoughts provoked
Beats come cloaked and daggered
Torn and tattered
Sleep the dreams
Dreams get shattered
Witness sound transformed to matter
Bone, flesh and plasma
Bone, flesh and plasma
It's ironic
Beats! Bass!
Bass raps unchained
Overseer saw the skies turn grey
Doomsday tidal waves
Doomsday tidal waves
Attack tracks rap phantasm
Kicks and snares hit
Inflict back spasms
Necks cracked detached from spines
Vertebrates and backs
I paint with language
Place my verse on canvass
Sip the spirits
Lyrics cause wayward shifts to crash like the sirens
I stalk concrete jungles and prides like lions
Standing top Mount Zion
Trying to reach heaven without dying
I'm riding sound waves like Posiden
I clutch tight the trident
Bugles blare announcing his arrival
Overseer, overseeing
Carpe dium seize the day
Drum track echos twenty thousand leagues away
I fly Concorde cross Atlantic
Beats, bass chords cause panic
Horns forewarn the swarm
Melodies freeze planets
Hemispheres severed
Seas, trees shattered
Birds, bees scattered
Earth knocked off its axis
Forty-five degree slanted
Arcane old spells
Wizadry repells
Lock, stock two barrels and a handful of shells
Rebellions quelled
Oceans swell
Thoughts prevail
Heaven or Hell
Bass raps unchained
Overseer saw the skies turn grey
Doomsday tidal waves
Doomsday tidal waves
The sound sinister
Administer ways to set the world ablaze
Tracks flamed
Untamed bass raps unchained
Overseer saw the skys turn grey
Doomsday tidal waves from the US to the UK
Back against the wall
I stand tall
Face the grim
Blow decibels way past known levels
My method of madness is this
Sadness, gladness
All emotions evoked
Thoughts provoked
Beats come cloaked and daggered
Torn and tattered
Sleep the dreams
Dreams get shattered
Witness sound transformed to matter
Bone, flesh and plasma
Bone, flesh and plasma
It's ironic
Beats! Bass!
Bass raps unchained
Overseer saw the skies turn grey
Doomsday tidal waves
Doomsday tidal waves
Attack tracks rap phantasm

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.

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,

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.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
It's the end of the world as we know it! This song truely represents what my view of the end of the world is! Probably if John Kerry is elected!
