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"
Que no suenes tú a reclamo ni a despecho
Solo fue que quise hacerte esta canción
No te ofendas cuando digo que sospecho
Que el amor se hace más grande en la traición
Paga cuentas en la casa
O ve a la escuela a por los críos
Escoba nueva barrerá siempre mejor
Cúlpalo a él por lo que pasa
Llámame cuando haya frío
Y si se enteran solo di que fui un error
Yo soy el invisible en esa foto
En esa en la que salimos los tres
Él es el titular mientras yo floto
Aunque yo sea el que dejas pa' después
Si te extraño no te apures
Si me duele no te enteres
Aunque yo sea el que más quiere, de los tres
Si te extraño no preguntes las razones
Ni por qué ando involucrando al corazón
El amor suena mejor en las canciones
Mi soledad les paga esta traición
Ponte aquel vestido blanco que se asoma en tus rodillas
Ven a hacer lo que en tu mundo no está bien
Ponte todo yo lo arranco, me abro paso en tus rodillas
Ya mañana cada uno, es cada quién
Yo soy el invisible en esa foto
En esa en la que salimos los tres
Él es el titular mientras yo floto
Aunque yo sea el que dejas pa' después
Si te extraño no te apures
Si me duele no te enteres
Aunque yo sea el que más quiere, de los tres
Yo soy el invisible en esa foto
En esa en la que salimos los tres
Él es el titular mientras yo floto
Aunque yo sea el que dejas pa' después
Aunque yo sea el que más quiere, de los tres
Solo fue que quise hacerte esta canción
No te ofendas cuando digo que sospecho
Que el amor se hace más grande en la traición
Paga cuentas en la casa
O ve a la escuela a por los críos
Escoba nueva barrerá siempre mejor
Cúlpalo a él por lo que pasa
Llámame cuando haya frío
Y si se enteran solo di que fui un error
Yo soy el invisible en esa foto
En esa en la que salimos los tres
Él es el titular mientras yo floto
Aunque yo sea el que dejas pa' después
Si te extraño no te apures
Si me duele no te enteres
Aunque yo sea el que más quiere, de los tres
Si te extraño no preguntes las razones
Ni por qué ando involucrando al corazón
El amor suena mejor en las canciones
Mi soledad les paga esta traición
Ponte aquel vestido blanco que se asoma en tus rodillas
Ven a hacer lo que en tu mundo no está bien
Ponte todo yo lo arranco, me abro paso en tus rodillas
Ya mañana cada uno, es cada quién
Yo soy el invisible en esa foto
En esa en la que salimos los tres
Él es el titular mientras yo floto
Aunque yo sea el que dejas pa' después
Si te extraño no te apures
Si me duele no te enteres
Aunque yo sea el que más quiere, de los tres
Yo soy el invisible en esa foto
En esa en la que salimos los tres
Él es el titular mientras yo floto
Aunque yo sea el que dejas pa' después
Aunque yo sea el que más quiere, de los tres

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”

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.

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

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.
In the video Session de Autor for El Invisible Ricardo Arjona explains how in movies there is a trope called the love triangle. This trope is when a girl (or boy) is in-love with two other people. This trope is seen in the twilight saga for an example. Most time the main character is seen as the victim and the love interest they don't choose is seen as the villain. However this song is in the perspective of the "villain", however we seem them as the victim rather than the villain. This song is very interesting in this sense because it shows how cruel the main character can really be. We never really see this point of view in movies.
