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"
Ladies and Gentlemen!
Yes my fine gentlemen friends
Okay we're gonna turn to the chapter in
Eyenetics
Called Left Pimping
Everybody turn to Left Pimping
Now as you can see
It's located in a region near your man
Called untitled space
I'm T-Boz I got it like that
Left Eye's dope she's for it like that
Chilli's fly she's got it like that
TLC and that's where it's at
I'm T-Boz I got it like that
Left Eye's dope she's got it like that
Chilli's fly she's got it like that
TLC and that's where it's at
We met at the park at the Summer Jams
Timb's untied with saggy pants
Not the kind of guy I would give a chance
But he was kinda packin' under circumstance
6 foot 3 sexy as can be
I saw him through the crowd comin' up to me
He said aren't you that shorty from TLC
He told me 'bout the things he would do to me
(So come on over)
Let me check you out
See just what you're talkin' 'bout
(So come on over)
Boy you turn me on
Talkin' that stuff on the telephone
(So come on over)
You got me showin' through
So I can't wait to get next to you
(So come on over)
Don't let it take too long
I'm ready to put it on
You need some ginseng
For your ping ping
So we can do it!
Oops
First he came
And then he went
Right to sleep on me
I could not believe
Wakin' up and givin' what I need
Yeah yeah
First he came
And then he went
Right to sleep so fast
Did he have it up his sleeve
To pull a quickie on me
He pulled a quickie on me
No no no no no he didn't
He pulled a quickie on me
No no no no no he did not
He pulled a quickie on me
No no no no no he didn't
He pulled a quickie on me
No no no no no he didn't
Yeah yeah
He called me up to apologize
Said he owed me one and tonight's the night
Didn't know if he should get another chance
But he was kinda packin' under circumstance
He didn't know that I peeped him out
Picked up on what a quickie is all about
So went to dinner back to the crib
So I could switch it up and show him how it is
Oh wait hold up hold up hold up
Is your name Houdickie
Cuz I heard you pulled a quickie
He pulled a quickie on me
No no no no no he didn't
He pulled a quickie on me
No no no no no he did not
He pulled a quickie on me
No no no no no he didn't
He pulled a quickie on me
No no no no no he didn't
Yeah yeah
Now as we bring this class to close
There is one last thing that we must review
everybody
Alright, it's called the Left Pimp Dance
Now what you're gonna do is you're gonna put
your left foot in front
Leeeeeean to the left
And dip
Just like sweet rivers
I got a taste for flow
My flow's the next show
Lets flip this icy snow
And soulfully quiver
Cuz the rhythm knows
How to correlate
With next to vertebrae's glow
I'm runnin' enough days though
Meanin' I kill time
You heard of Mayo
Well my cars do real fine
Miracle Whip this lyrical chick
On some spiritual shit
This will be a perennial trip
Damn (damn)
I'm that imperial bitch (uh)
He pulled a quickie on me
I'm T-Boz I got it like that
Left Eye's dope she's got it like that
Chilli's fly she's got it like that
TLC and that's where it's at
No no no no no he didn't
He pulled a quickie on me
No no no no no he did not
And I'm not doin' it with him anymore
Yes my fine gentlemen friends

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
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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.
