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"
And I love you, baby
And I, and I love you, baby
And I love you, baby
And I, and I love you, baby
And I love you, baby
And I, and I love you
And I love you
An angel has always been thought
To be one of God's most precious works
I guess that's how she had you fooled
'Cause she was an angel in disguise
Hurt and pain could never come from her
So you left me only to find that
Hurt and pain involves her
But now you see your mistakes
And now you see your angel was a fake
But my love was never misplaced
See, baby, my love is true
And most importantly, still, I love you
(Still, I love you)
An angel in disguise she was
But somehow you fell for her
I know she broke your heart that day
And left you in the rain
But still, I love you
An angel in disguise she was
But somehow you fell for her
I know she broke your heart that day
And left you in the rain
But still, I love you
I found it quite strange
The way you said her name
And when you look in her eyes
I see the lust you can't deny
It's more to this than what you said
'Cause in your sleep, you called her name
You say she's just a friend
I knew right then 'cause the rain began, oh-oh
An angel in disguise she was (yeah, yeah, yeah)
But somehow you fell for her (you fell for her)
I know she broke your heart that day (she broke your heart)
And left you in the rain (yeah)
But still, I love you (oh, I love you, baby)
An angel in disguise she was (oh, I'm with you, baby)
But somehow you fell for her (I'm ready for you, baby)
I know she broke your heart that day (and left you in the rain)
And left you in the rain (yeah)
But still, I love you
She seemed so familiar the day that I met her
Who was she foolin'?
I had a clue of what she was doin'
Thoughts of suspicion brought to my attention
I fell in her game, and I'm so lost
Please, stop the rain, oh-ooh
An angel in disguise she was (oh, you hurt me, babe)
But somehow you fell for her (yeah, but I'm still here)
I know she broke your heart that day (still lovin' you)
And left you in the rain
But still, I love you (oh, I might be crazy, babe)
An angel in disguise she was (but I love you, babe)
But somehow you fell for her (somehow you fell)
I know she broke your heart that day (she left you in the rain)
And left you in the rain
But still, I love you
And when my music stops
And when my tears dry
And when the rain ends
My heart will beat again
And when my music stops
And when my tears dry
And when the rain ends
My heart will beat again (ooh baby, oh, darlin')
An angel in disguise she was (I know it hurts)
But somehow you fell for her (oh-ooh)
I know she broke your heart that day (broke your heart, oh)
And left you in the rain
But still, I love you (I love you)
An angel in disguise she was
But somehow you fell for her (somehow you fell for her)
I know she broke your heart that day (she left you in the rain)
And left you in the rain
But still, I love you
I love you (and I love you, baby)
I will never do the things she did (and I, and I love you, baby)
Take your heart and run away with it, no, no (and I love you, baby)
'Cause I really, really love you (still, I love you)
An angel in disguise she was (and I love you, baby)
But somehow you fell for her (and I, and I love you, baby)
I know she broke your heart that day (and I love you, baby)
And left you in the rain
But still, I love you
And I, and I love you, baby
And I love you, baby
And I, and I love you, baby
And I love you, baby
And I, and I love you
And I love you

Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

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.

I love it. It means that not everything that shines is gold, but you always have ppl you are reaal with you, and I love, and stay no matter how much you hurt them.
