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"
The song, the whisper
Echos loud
And reverberates back in tones of stern determination
Give me the quiet wilderness
and my family to associate with
surrounded by the saints
adieu, to the gentile world
till god says return and avenge you of you enemies
Yo,
I'm still wasting away while elephants trample on your better days
i got tones of ammunition and a park pistons in a broken phrase
lets amaze ourselves with numbers till we have nothing but wealth and heaven
dream of a plush paradise; wake up on the bathroom floor of a 7-11
we got here with no lemon hands
I've been lurking in shadows for five years
blindly sculpting songs from fears
crack you knuckles and sharpen spears
time line wont go on forever
pick up your heart and stitch it back together
and press on like there's nothing wrong
and hopes its the only thing that makes you feel better
These memories are like old notebooks that are soaked in gasoline
and I've watched my hands in foreign land but i can never seem to get them clean
every town is full of assholes; even god is stepping on broken beer bottles
dodging depression like potholes cause things will get better I'm told
I've got drained batteries and i got crooked teeth
and i try hard but i always forget the people i meet
a mushroom cloud filled with innocent angels
with blood on their hands and rust on their halo
heaven was built from bricks, my shoes are made by kids
loosing reception with all this static in my head
oh all your change is born with chemicals and danger
glances in the eyes, yeah we're comfortable creatures
heaven was built from bricks, my shoes are made by kids
loosing reception with all this static in my head
oh all your change is born with chemicals and danger
glances in the eyes, yeah we're comfortable creatures
surrounded by the saints
adieu to the gentile world
till god says return and avenge you of you enemies
we stay stuck to structure's
gods plan has no middle man
keep it to those idle hands
pay your bills and conquer moral land
this maze full of mystery, the ebon flow of your personal history
you wont be missed when after you're gone
while your personal struggles in song
its windy outside and the cradle of humanity rests on balance
soaked in a pale of vanity run with disease and the meager talents
you got nothing left you love
the hand of god is wrapped in surgical gloves
your palms push problems like religion takes mass bodies to coffins,
And the end of the world gets closer than you ever hoped
heaven was built from bricks, my shoes are made by kids
loosing reception with all this static in my head
oh all your change is born with chemicals and danger
glances in the eyes, yeah we're comfortable creatures
heaven was built from bricks, my shoes are made by kids
loosing reception with all this static in my head
oh all your change is born with chemicals and danger
glances in the eyes, yeah we're comfortable creatures
The song, the whisper
Echos loud
And reverberates back in tones of stern determination
Give me the quiet wilderness
and my family to associate with
surrounded by the saints
adieu, to the gentile world
till god says return and avenge you of you enemies
Echos loud
And reverberates back in tones of stern determination
Give me the quiet wilderness
and my family to associate with
surrounded by the saints
adieu, to the gentile world
till god says return and avenge you of you enemies

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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.
