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"
Dive a little bit further
Don't get out, the morning wants to keep us safe in here
Resting on your shoulder
We wont go, until there's no,
More people out there
You can make it click
Making me pop
Going for the goal
With the clean cut
Searching no more
All melodies
Are coming ashore
Flushing over me
Your are all over my rainbow
Taking the scene
In my crazy dream
Only you are on my rainbow
No one else here
Nothing else gets near
You
Nothing's fast or slow
Its in between
Were red and green
Where land and oceans meet
Peacefully I'm quiet
Cause nothing here is
Mad, bad or dangerous to know
You can make it click
Making me pop
Going for the goal
With the clean cut
Searching no more
All melodies
Are coming ashore
Flushing over me
You are all over my rainbow
Taking the scene
In my crazy dream
Only you are on my rainbow
No one else here
Nothing else gets near
You
You can make it click
Making me pop
Don't get out, the morning wants to keep us safe in here
Resting on your shoulder
We wont go, until there's no,
More people out there
You can make it click
Making me pop
Going for the goal
With the clean cut
Searching no more
All melodies
Are coming ashore
Flushing over me
Your are all over my rainbow
Taking the scene
In my crazy dream
Only you are on my rainbow
No one else here
Nothing else gets near
You
Nothing's fast or slow
Its in between
Were red and green
Where land and oceans meet
Peacefully I'm quiet
Cause nothing here is
Mad, bad or dangerous to know
You can make it click
Making me pop
Going for the goal
With the clean cut
Searching no more
All melodies
Are coming ashore
Flushing over me
You are all over my rainbow
Taking the scene
In my crazy dream
Only you are on my rainbow
No one else here
Nothing else gets near
You
You can make it click
Making me pop

@[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
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“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.
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.
Page

Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
While this song has sexual elements I think you've completely missed the point if you think that's what it's solely about. "Rainbow" is about two secret lovers who share an intimate moment that's not even necessarily sexual. It might be realizing that you're deeply in love with someone, sharing your first kiss or touch with together, or perhaps feeling the electricity and passion between you. In this song, two people share a very close, intimate moment together and it's as if time is standing still. It's so intense it's almost surreal. Some people seem to think that the lyrics are explicitly sexual ("making me pop" either referring to fellatio or losing one's virginity ) I don't think it's the case at all. I believe the "pop" refers to how the woman is so in love that her heart is almost bursting with love. She is so in infatuated, everything her partner does just makes her realize how well they click/fit together. Her partner is her entire world and everything that's in it. To me, the song is not very much about sex at all but how you emotionally submit to someone completely when you fall in love.
Definitely sexual.
i agree its sexual but it reads differently than a casual encounter. even the emotion from the singer says more than that. i believe its about a sexual experience with a couple in love. this is describing how the female feels during the experience and her deep feelings for her love.
yep def sexy. feeling comfortable and complete with the one you love. i love it.
