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"
Once every hundred thousand years the most epic party in the universe will be thrown by Ninja Sex Party, as it was foretold in the scrolls.
So take that pudding, pour it on your chest and let it melt down to your genitals.

I hope you like fun, 'cause we're havin' it
Let's get this fuckin' party started!
Oh god!

Go ahead and let your pants hit the floor
Your destiny awaits behind that door

Hey guys.
You... playin'... Dungeons and Dragons, or...
[cough cough]
All right!
This party's off to a bit of a slow start
But soon it's gonna melt your brain
And bitchslap your heart
Check out this leaf collecting album
That I made back in Autumn
Don't get me started on balloons
You want 'em? We fuckin' got 'em!
And when the music starts to drop
The vibe's gonna change
We got the country themed bar mitzvah band
Shalom on the Range
The hot girls are showing up
I am so sorry you waited
But now they're finally inflated
So we can get this fuckin' party started!
Dear god!
The night is on fire!
This shit!
Would make a Hobbit say "to hell with the Shire"
Hooray!
Are you worthy? That's a definite maybe!
It's like "Amazing" and "Awesome" fucked and had a "Party" baby
Dance break!
I... I said dance everybody.
Why is that guy naked?
Alright this party sucks, Ninja Brian, explode this building with your mind.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
The verses sound like something daft punk could write, with all the techno voice and shit
