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"
machi ni ugomeku Childish Poison
kowareta amari de neri aruku
yami ni magireta Foolish Treason
kioku no hate made kie usero
There'll be no time for the crying
You'd better feel it
mitekure dake no Touch of feather
kakushita naifu no ha wo toide
ima mo tayori wa Scream of anger
tsuide ni jibun wo kiri kizame
There'll be no time for the crying
You'd better accept it
There'll be no place for your dying
You're going bad
Too many sins undercovered
Like a fire we are coming down your way
Your action has gone a little too far
Like a blast we are burning down your day

Yoru no kiri saku fumetsu no honou de
(Onslaught) (Onslaught)
I'm gonna beat you down
There'll be no time for the crying
You'd better feel it
There'll be no place for your dying
You're going bad
I'm watching you
Too many sins undercovered
Like a fire we are coming down your way
Your action has gone a little too far
Like a blast we are burning down your day
So many truths undercovered
Like a soul we are coming down your way
Your action has gone a litttle too far
Like an eagle we are burning down your day
(Onslaught) (Onslaught)
Yoru no kiri saku fumetsu no honou de
(Onslaught) (Onslaught)
I'm gonna beat you down

Your action has gone a litttle too far
Like an eagle we are burning down your day
