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"
how long have i been in this storm
so overwhelmed by the ocean's shapeless form
waters getting harder to tread
with these waves crashing over my head
if i could just see you
everything would be alright
if i had to see you
this darkness would turn into light
and i will walk on water
and you will catch me if i fall
and i will get lost into your eyes
and everything will be alright
and everything will be alright
i know u didn't bring me out here to drown
so why am i ten feet under and upside down
barely surviving has become my purpose
cause i'm so used to living underneath the surface
if i could just see you
everything would be alright
if i could see you
this stormness would turn into light
and i will walk on water
and you will catch me if i fall
and i will get lost into your eyes
and everything will be alright
and i will walk on water
and you will catch me if i fall
and i will get lost into your eyes
and everything will be alright
and now everything is alright
everythings alright
so overwhelmed by the ocean's shapeless form
waters getting harder to tread
with these waves crashing over my head
if i could just see you
everything would be alright
if i had to see you
this darkness would turn into light
and i will walk on water
and you will catch me if i fall
and i will get lost into your eyes
and everything will be alright
and everything will be alright
i know u didn't bring me out here to drown
so why am i ten feet under and upside down
barely surviving has become my purpose
cause i'm so used to living underneath the surface
if i could just see you
everything would be alright
if i could see you
this stormness would turn into light
and i will walk on water
and you will catch me if i fall
and i will get lost into your eyes
and everything will be alright
and i will walk on water
and you will catch me if i fall
and i will get lost into your eyes
and everything will be alright
and now everything is alright
everythings alright

Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

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.

“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.
I was really sick for a while. Like I was dying, had lost most of my hair, and ended up being connected to monitors to keep my heart going. Bad eating disorder. No matter how hard I tried to eat, I couldn't get it down. The voices in my head would take over. Before the discovery that I in fact had anorexia, I was the picture perfect Christian girl. Then suddenly after I was discovered, (It just seemed normal to me, to survive on eating so little. Food made me feel sick.) I was hurled through treatment, therapy, hospitals, residential facilities, and a living hell.
I lost sight of who I was, of who my Father is. I felt totally alone, like He had abandoned me. After all, hadn't He put me in this situation? I had been living and praying and reading my scriptures like life was normal. I just excluded food from the equation. Why didn't He warn me of what I was doing? Why didn't he reach out a hand and stop all this from happening? Or why couldn't He just smite me now and stop all the tests and blood transfusions and unbearable stomach pain, and the inner mental battle as the voices fought for control in my head? I literally felt like I was possessed by demons. That's still how I describe my illness. Like I was possessed. I felt like somebody else was controlling me. I even attempted suicide, but my sister walked in on me.
This song kind of explains how I felt. Eventually I just let go, despite the fact I was in one hell of a storm. I knew He would get me out of this, despite how dark everything was.
"If I could just see you, everything would be alright. If I could see you, this darkness would turn to light." I wanted so bad for Him to just appear one night and cast the devils out of me.
"And I will walk on water" I could do the impossible. I could conquer my eating disorder. I could live.
"And you will catch me if I fall." If this did kill me because of the damage I had already done, then so be it. I had a Father would be waiting for me because I tried. God knows I tried.
He was there the whole time. Through my loving family and friends and doctors. Just because I didn't recognize Him, didn't mean he was there.
