This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
know I wasn't good
Maybe I was even bad
But I was way too young
To know just what I had.
And if I let you down,
Now I let you go,
But I was so young
And now it's all gone.
I'm the one to blame.
You must never think
I wish that you had stayed.
Look at where we are,
I'm glad you got away.
But who's your daddy now
And where's your home?
You're living somewhere new.
D'you think he'd take me too?
I'm the one to blame.
Now you forgot the words,
Please don't forget your name.
And who gave it to you?
Well that was me again.
Who let you down and loved you?
That was me again.
And who's the one to blame?
That was me again.
I'm the one to blame.
Maybe I was even bad
But I was way too young
To know just what I had.
And if I let you down,
Now I let you go,
But I was so young
And now it's all gone.
I'm the one to blame.
You must never think
I wish that you had stayed.
Look at where we are,
I'm glad you got away.
But who's your daddy now
And where's your home?
You're living somewhere new.
D'you think he'd take me too?
I'm the one to blame.
Now you forgot the words,
Please don't forget your name.
And who gave it to you?
Well that was me again.
Who let you down and loved you?
That was me again.
And who's the one to blame?
That was me again.
I'm the one to blame.

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.
Magical

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.
Head > Heels

Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
I think this song might be about a man or woman who became a mother/father very young and chose chose to put their child up for adoption. And now he/she is experiencing some sadness, guilt or shame about it, wondering where the child is. And perhaps feeling like maybe they made a mistake in giving the child up. But they're saying that they're to blame for everything they're feeling now.
Also, there are a few lyrics missing at the end:
now you forgot the words, please don't forget your name. and who gave that to you? well, that was me again. who let you down and loved you? that was me again and who's the one to blame? that was me again. i'm the one to blame.
Total break up song. Reminds me of my first true love who left after all my shenanigans. I was, "way too young."
