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"
Empty a clip to ease my pain.
I have this hate for everything.
I’ll clinch my fist if you insist.
Show you every reason I exist.
So what, so what the fuck you want?
Apologies up front?
Yeah right we fight to let it out, blow.
I want it right now revengence is a must.
I’m about to bust well that’s fucking tough.
I see you blow me off I’ve had e-fucking-nough
Of this pain and this bullshit
Cuz that’s just what it is
I’m getting fucking pissed
Nothin ever seems to go my way never, ever, ever, ever
I’d rather sit and suffer than accept these games you play
Stuck I feel as though I’m fucked
Shit out of fucking luck
But I guess I’ll deal with it fine whatever, nevermind
You must be fucking blind if you can’t see it’s killing me!
Everybody from the front to back
Get in the pit and show me where you’re at
Where the fuck you at?
Right here right here
WHERE THE FUCK YOU AT?!?
Everybody come and follow me.
To a place inside that sets you free.
Our chance to escape from reality
Fantasy now come and bleed with me.
Please just shut your fucking face
It’s just a fucking phase.
Go away give me some space.
Go you need to go home
Leave me the fuck alone
I can’t deal with your shit!
Whatever, nevermind!
You must be fucking blind if you can’t see it’s killing me!
Chorus
Is there any place that’s fit for me?
Anywhere that we can go?
It seems that they have taken everything
Sacrifice the ones who stood alone.
We can’t let them get away with this
No we can’t let this go.
Cuz right now it’s time for punishment.
And I know I’m not alone
You got my back!
Chorus
I have this hate for everything.
I’ll clinch my fist if you insist.
Show you every reason I exist.
So what, so what the fuck you want?
Apologies up front?
Yeah right we fight to let it out, blow.

I’m about to bust well that’s fucking tough.
I see you blow me off I’ve had e-fucking-nough

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.

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.
Awesome song. I love how fast it is =]
