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"
Hey brother meet me at the room, don't reverse the night sky.
Beneath the black gnawed project wings of crows with artificial eyes.
Think that we could see much further, walking three foot of the ground.
We could learn to live between all of the secrets that we found, before it's all gone.
Before it's all gone. Before it's all gone. Before it's all gone. Before it's all gone.
Hey sister, somewhere in the sun, you know this place of end used dreams.
It's just the stones thrown from easy street and the rawleight limousines.
Where people pass a steel doorway, never knowing we were there.
You know we don't need paradise, where we found god inside of air. We must stay strong.
We will stay strong. We won't remaing young. And we must stay strong.
But I can't feel the city seat beneath the claw.
Spinning the sirens in a gentle pulse of blue.
Sometimes when the land is terrified.
This is where we work. Yes this where we work. This is where we work.
The dark secrets of a hidden room at 3 a.m.
The threaths of physical collapse is now very real.
And god help us all, we're going way too chemical.
When your living at a hundred miles an hour.
Soul of bird must learn to fly.
We're picking up on neat vibrations, we even don't need to try.
We're all the washed with strange sensations, come on and let us liquify
I need your reassuringness. I'm just oblivion boy.
There were times I lost my mind, withing the screaming wall of noise.
Before I found you. That's where I found you.
So brother hold on to my hand, feel I'm afraid that you might fall.
You're just a pattern of man, laid down withs atom of soul.
You can put your faith in me, 'cause I don't care what you've been told.
Just watch a shooting stars, and they fall to the great ocean row below there.
Throught the mounts of kings and goats appaled by the electric fence
Throught the sun and the moon and the terror of the thunder cloud. I'll fly you away.
Throught the indian maze wind calls upon the lips and the sun.
Well you can let me be the conjurer, and I'll free you today.
But I can't feel the city seat beneath the claw.
Spinning the sirens in a gentle pulse of blue.
Sometimes when the land is terrified.
This is where we work. Yes this where we work. This is where we work.
The dark secrets of a hidden room at 3 a.m.
The threaths of physical collapse is now very real.
And god help us all, we're going way too chemical.
When your living at a hundred miles an hour.
Soul of bird must learn to fly.
The soul of bird must learn to fly.
The soul of bird must learn to fly.
The soul of bird must learn to fly.
Beneath the black gnawed project wings of crows with artificial eyes.
Think that we could see much further, walking three foot of the ground.
We could learn to live between all of the secrets that we found, before it's all gone.
Before it's all gone. Before it's all gone. Before it's all gone. Before it's all gone.

@[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.
