Regress
In spells of unconsciousness
Slave to the seeds you've sown
Lost in the leaves
So, we'll depart
Goodbye to your stubborn heart
Now you're alone
Find relief that the end comes swiftly for you

They are lost in their thoughts, represented by the imagery of being "lost in the leaves". The decision to depart is made, saying "goodbye to your stubborn heart", meaning that the person has come to the realization that they need to move on from their destructive behavior.

Regress
We're going backwards in some way.

Sometimes we act without thinking.

Slave to the seeds you've sown
We're bound to the consequences of our actions.

Lost in the leaves
We get lost in the details and forget the big picture.
