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"
Sunt sut si smecher, la mine-n cartier,
Nu sufla nimeni si dusmanii mila-mi cer
Poate nu stiti inca sau poate nu ati aflat
Pentru furt, talharie, jaf si viol la parnaie o vreme am stat.
Dar imi place Helga,
M-a fermecat pe loc, (ia-ia-iai)
E frumoasa Helga,
Frumoasa foc. (Oooo...)
Pai, dupa cum ati vazut, sunt un erou negativ,
Si sa ma schimb in bine nu am nici un motiv
Mie-mi place maneaua si dansul, dansul din buric,
Cat despre rock, ba fratili meu, eu nu-nteleg nimic.
Dar imi place Helga,
M-a fermecat pe loc, (ia-ia-iai)
E frumoasa Helga,
Frumoasa foc. (Oooo...)
Da, da, cum sa fac sa ne intalnim, (cum-cum, cum-cum?)
Daca noi la gusturi nu ne potrivim. (nu-nu, nu-nu!)
Imi spui ca daca, numai daca-mi place rock (ie-ie, ie-ie!)
Vom sta de mana-n scara de la bloc.(ah-ah, ah-ha)
Da, da stive de casete-ascult, (as-cult, as-cult)
Si-mi plac, pe bune-mi plac, din ce in ce mai mult.(ie-ie, ie-ie!)
Acum cred ca sunt pe drumul bun (pam-bam-bara, pam-dara-dara)
Maistre, pune-o cu chitara, nu mai sta.
(solo)
O, suna bine, innebunesc de dragul tau,
Scot de pe mine, ciorapi, chilotii
Si-o bucata de maieu, de dragul tau.
Acum la mine, la mine-n cartier,
Ma plimb cu Helga si ma iubeste, sper.
Poate nu stiti inca sau poate nu ati aflat
Pentru ca-mi place Helga da ciumecie m-am lasat.
Dar imi place Helga,
M-a fermecat pe loc, (ia-ia-iai)
E frumoasa Helga,
Frumoasa foc. (Oooo...)
Nu sufla nimeni si dusmanii mila-mi cer
Poate nu stiti inca sau poate nu ati aflat

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.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
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.
