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"
Close my eyes, think of the rain
think of an evening the same
dream it is autumn outside
an evening to hide
Someone to carry me home
to forests where I do belong
close my eyes, little bit scared
and no one to care
And when my sun comes down
and you won't hold my hand, it's okay
'Cause when my sun comes down
I'll be walking a darker way
it's okay, it's allright
Close my heart, hold on to evil
embracing the only, the Foul
dream it is twilight outside
an evening to hide
Oh raven, say will it be mine
the golden, the line of my time
fading and I am not scared
Five ravens to bear
And when my sun comes down
and you won't hold my hand, it's okay
'Cause when my sun comes down
I'll be walking a darker way
it's okay
'Cause when my sun comes down
I'll be walking a lighter way
it's okay, it's allright
think of an evening the same
dream it is autumn outside
an evening to hide
Someone to carry me home
to forests where I do belong
close my eyes, little bit scared
and no one to care
And when my sun comes down
and you won't hold my hand, it's okay
'Cause when my sun comes down
I'll be walking a darker way
it's okay, it's allright
Close my heart, hold on to evil
embracing the only, the Foul
dream it is twilight outside
an evening to hide
Oh raven, say will it be mine
the golden, the line of my time
fading and I am not scared
Five ravens to bear
And when my sun comes down
and you won't hold my hand, it's okay
'Cause when my sun comes down
I'll be walking a darker way
it's okay
'Cause when my sun comes down
I'll be walking a lighter way
it's okay, it's allright
