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"
Peeping Tom Celebrity Death Match Lyrics
Waking up without you
it's all in my head
I roll over to touch you, and see a horses head
How did I arouse you with kianos face
How well did I endow you at a rediculous pace
How do you entice me beyond six face?
And when you slice and dice me
It's like will and grace
If I keep doing it my way
And you keep doing it your way
If I keep doing it my way
And you keep doing it your way
If I keep singing it my way
And you keep screaming it your way
We end up taking the highway
So let's try doing it my way and we'll be fine
Go to sleep without me
It's all in your head
Four glasses of niquill
Well burn up your bed
you keep on doing it your way
you keep on doing it your way
I keep on doing it my way
I keep on doing it my way
You keep on doing it your way
You keep on doing it your way
I keep on doing it my way
I keep on drinking the hard way
How do you despise me in a micropotent way
I guess I won't despise you like???
And how I defied you like ????
And how you victimzed me like R Kelly's face
I keep on doing it my way
I keep on doing it my way
You keep on doing it your way
You keep on doing it your way
If I keep singing it my way
And you keep screaming it your way
We end up taking the highway
So let's try doing it my way and we'll be fine
Watch the credits rolling
Can we be friends or is this the end?
Waking up without you
it's all in my head
I roll over to touch you, and see a horses head
How did I arouse you with kianos face
How well did I endow you at a rediculous pace
How do you entice me beyond six face?
And when you slice and dice me
It's like will and grace
If I keep doing it my way
And you keep doing it your way
If I keep doing it my way
And you keep doing it your way
If I keep singing it my way
And you keep screaming it your way
We end up taking the highway
So let's try doing it my way and we'll be fine
Go to sleep without me
It's all in your head
Four glasses of niquill
Well burn up your bed
you keep on doing it your way
you keep on doing it your way
I keep on doing it my way
I keep on doing it my way
You keep on doing it your way
You keep on doing it your way
I keep on doing it my way
I keep on drinking the hard way
How do you despise me in a micropotent way
I guess I won't despise you like???
And how I defied you like ????
And how you victimzed me like R Kelly's face
I keep on doing it my way
I keep on doing it my way
You keep on doing it your way
You keep on doing it your way
If I keep singing it my way
And you keep screaming it your way
We end up taking the highway
So let's try doing it my way and we'll be fine
Watch the credits rolling
Can we be friends or is this the end?

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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.
Plastic Bag

Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
"deified you like j'los cheeks" deify means to make godlike, its the ass. thsi might have something to do with how significant others might remind you of someone else. a lot of girls say you remind me of balh blah blah. whatever
