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"
Abduction is the way I start my day
Finally all my planning has paid off
Eager to dismember
Your skin so sweet and tender
Strapped to the chair.
Degrading you right to your face
Gagged
Puking all over the place
It's time to finally shut you up
Stabbing you viciously
Watching your face was priceless
Blood Splattered Satisfaction
I dealt you away (repeat)
Good - Now your times up
Preparation has paid off by - Never quitting
Disposing of your body was a pleasure
No one will ever find you
I'm sure they will look hard - but only I know you're in my backyard
Finally all my planning has paid off
Eager to dismember
Your skin so sweet and tender
Strapped to the chair.
Degrading you right to your face
Gagged
Puking all over the place
It's time to finally shut you up
Stabbing you viciously
Watching your face was priceless
Blood Splattered Satisfaction
I dealt you away (repeat)
Good - Now your times up
Preparation has paid off by - Never quitting
Disposing of your body was a pleasure
No one will ever find you
I'm sure they will look hard - but only I know you're in my backyard

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.
I Can't Go To Sleep

Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
Amazing

Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
this is the biggest pile of worthless shit i have ever herd in my life. get a fucking clu, whoever says pig squelling takes talent is a fuck. it sounds like shit and is rather easy to do. apart from that, the lyrics are absolutly discusting and for any one that thinks that this is real music because there so fucking hardcore can eat a dick. seriously, take a look in the mirror and if u actually like this then something is very wrong with the way you are. and dont give me shit about "if u dont like it dont listen to it" because without listeng to it i wouldn't have a decent opinion of wtc like every other person writing them off.
Ok nigga I agree with you on the squeeling shit but ey the guitars and drums blend in good The instrumental part is good Only if they use proper death metal vocs than it would be better But there alright Also they sing about cool shit Like all these sluts should be killed I agree! Fuck all you sluts that make more money doing porn than a doctor that saves lives Fucking corrupted americs Fuck you F.o.a.d.
I Just Like It Man And Dude C'mon it's Not About Who's Better Or Shit It's About The Music Dude

Fuck all of ya's! I'll admit that I didn't like pig screaming at first either...but Waking The Cadaver really opened my eyes to it, now I love it. And fuck the ones that say it's not "real music" or "real metal" or "real talent" Because you are just pussies who don't know what real music is. And yes I will say it. IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT, DON'T FUCKING LISTEN TO IT! But anyway, the song to me means exactly what it says, Bitches talk shit? Bitches get hit. :P Or mercilessly painfully tortured and killed...ya know whatever's funner.
Why do people enjoy schadenfreude? I love their sound, but the lyrics are terrible. Not brutal at all. They just suck. lol
