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"
Ni skrattar oss rakt i ansiktet
Ni hånar det vi säger
Ni ser ner på våra idéer
Ni försöker förtränga oss
Ni är så jävla rädda
För ni lever på en lögn
Och vi har tänkt och tagit ställning
Det ni aldrig vågat göra
Ni lever på en lögn
För er är det så hemskt att inse
Att sådana som vi har något att säga
Jag tror nog att jag skrämde er
När jag öppnade min mun
Fy fan för eran amerikaniserade livssyn
Fy fan för era perverterade, fromma leénden
Fy fan för er borerliga moral
Fy fan för era kärnfamiljer och patriarkat
Fy fan för era villor, bilar och båtar
Fy fan för erat ja till EU
Fy fan för McDonalds, Coca Cola och Levi's
Fy fan för reklam, droger och marknadsekonomi
Ni hånar det vi säger
Ni ser ner på våra idéer
Ni försöker förtränga oss
Ni är så jävla rädda
För ni lever på en lögn
Och vi har tänkt och tagit ställning
Det ni aldrig vågat göra
Ni lever på en lögn
För er är det så hemskt att inse
Att sådana som vi har något att säga
Jag tror nog att jag skrämde er
När jag öppnade min mun
Fy fan för eran amerikaniserade livssyn
Fy fan för era perverterade, fromma leénden
Fy fan för er borerliga moral
Fy fan för era kärnfamiljer och patriarkat
Fy fan för era villor, bilar och båtar
Fy fan för erat ja till EU
Fy fan för McDonalds, Coca Cola och Levi's
Fy fan för reklam, droger och marknadsekonomi

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.

Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
This is what the band say about this song on their webpage:
If you are not economically well off, super educated, right-wing extremist or just plain stupid you have no rights to have an opinion about anything. You are supposed to shut up and shop till you drop, and let the professionals take care about politics and economical debate. There is really a monopoly of opinions out there. As soon as someone in the left is speaking up about something it is an ”opinion”, and when someone from the right wing speaks it is a ”fact”. As soon as ordinary people start to speak their mind, the people in power call on the police to meet them with batons and tear gas. This system is relying on co-operation from our side, but as soon as we start to say what we really think about it their walls will b to crack. Speak your mind!
