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"
Oh, it's flowing through me, combusting with contempt. Rationality abandoning, chemically led astray. Stepping outside the confines of the circle. Bane of society become. I'm about to cross the line and take a life. Nothing can stop me now.
Murderous functioning, the animal within me speaks. Nothing but blood could satisfy these carnal needs. I am your master, superior I reign. Poised just above you on this death-distorted chain.
[Solo]
The need to kill transcends temptation. I'm sick and in need of blood. Withdrawals haunt me, taunt me, sickly baiting. My needs can never be undone.
Murderous functioning, the animal within me speaks. Nothing but blood could satisfy these carnal needs.
I am your shepherd cloaked in obscenity. Heed these sickening words: I worship only what you bleed.
I am your master, superior I reign. Poised just above you on this death-distorted chain

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
'I Worhsip Only What You Bleed' =)
New album's fucking ace tho! xo
This song is just about anger and rage. Trevor said this would be a reoccuring theme on the CD.

Maybe about a vampire:
Oh, it's flowing through me... -the vampire sickness
Murderous functioning, the animal within me speaks. Nothing but blood could satisfy these carnal needs. -animal within me, kinda like vampirism
or just about the lust to kill, or about whatever
WTF why has next to no-one commented this song?! It's the best song EVER by them. I think it's about someone with bloodlust.. Idk.
I made an account just to let people know my opionion because nobody else knows. Its really simple actually. Its about rage, and how it consumes someone.

It could be about rage but now as im looking over it, it may be about a vampire "Death Distorted Chain" could mean the food chain. Also he talks about consuming blood ALOT.
