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"
As I descended with the dogs blood rising
so then I ascended to the thunder perfect mind
Great gray blood speckled slabs of slate has fallen
This is my vision in a croaking gearing world
Idiotic faces and swollen hearts
In the papers the faces are not real
In the world the faces are not real
In the heart of the heart the face is real
The death die abroad
The crows fly
The wolfs fly
And four poorly painted cardboard horse man
sheet over the back of the wings
they are not legion but closed
God walked on earth in those days
Now still in my heart you walk still
In the green fields far away there is a solid tree
Mother and the sign she makes on the broken horse
zodiac signs yellow face passes
All the rainbow her arms were
all books piled up in dirty heaps
crated like surface pity
Ah Elicia, la gara
If the sea horse was golden cold
and talking back the bloody streams of gods own pain
Why should we have compassion for others
when god himself has no pity on others
"Take back the blood speech", he said to him
certain colors came from her body she is alone
God walked on earth in those days
Now still in my heart you walk still
And the broken face of this horizon world is covered
by crystal cross ice
And the broken face of this horizon
world is covered by crystal cross ice
When this whole wide ilice world size
this ilice world size
All the stars of souls each single planet is
the life flame of the nothing eternity spark
I can not believe despite the evidence of one good eye
and one poor eye that this world is gods own
Blood red grass green
Bloom black sky pied paradise
When I lay in the arms of one more
and I said to her silent
"you will be forever mine"
Though you blows you shall die, die, die
Sleep as you shall die
I will love you always between your body
I pray that I shall be forever bind
If I say to you love
then listen you should be crowned above all
God walked on earth in those days
Now still in my heart you walk still
so then I ascended to the thunder perfect mind
Great gray blood speckled slabs of slate has fallen
This is my vision in a croaking gearing world
Idiotic faces and swollen hearts
In the papers the faces are not real
In the world the faces are not real
In the heart of the heart the face is real
The death die abroad
The crows fly
The wolfs fly
And four poorly painted cardboard horse man
sheet over the back of the wings
they are not legion but closed
God walked on earth in those days
Now still in my heart you walk still
In the green fields far away there is a solid tree
Mother and the sign she makes on the broken horse
zodiac signs yellow face passes
All the rainbow her arms were
all books piled up in dirty heaps
crated like surface pity
Ah Elicia, la gara
If the sea horse was golden cold
and talking back the bloody streams of gods own pain
Why should we have compassion for others
when god himself has no pity on others
"Take back the blood speech", he said to him
certain colors came from her body she is alone
God walked on earth in those days
Now still in my heart you walk still
And the broken face of this horizon world is covered
by crystal cross ice
And the broken face of this horizon
world is covered by crystal cross ice
When this whole wide ilice world size
this ilice world size
All the stars of souls each single planet is
the life flame of the nothing eternity spark
I can not believe despite the evidence of one good eye
and one poor eye that this world is gods own
Blood red grass green
Bloom black sky pied paradise
When I lay in the arms of one more
and I said to her silent
"you will be forever mine"
Though you blows you shall die, die, die
Sleep as you shall die
I will love you always between your body
I pray that I shall be forever bind
If I say to you love
then listen you should be crowned above all
God walked on earth in those days
Now still in my heart you walk still

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.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
a lot of little errors
here is what I think it is: As I descended with the dog's blood rising So then I ascended to the thunder perfect mind Great gray blood-speckled slabs of slate have fallen This is my vision in a croaking, jeering world
All idiotic faces and swollen hearts In the papers the faces are not real In the world the faces are not real In the heart of the heart the face is real
The death die abroad The crows fly The wolves fly And four poorly painted cardboard horsemen Sheet over the back of the winds They are not legion, but closed
God walked on earth in those days Now, still, in my hearts He walks still
In the green fields far away, there is a solid tree Mother, and the sign she makes on the broken horse Zodiac signs, yellow face passes All the rainbow her arms were All books piled up in dirty heaps Crater-like surface pity
Oh, bellissima - Largherana
If the sea horse was golden, cold and Talking back the bloody streams of God's own pain Why should we have compassion for others When God himself has had no pity on others "Take back the blood speech," he said to him Certain colors came from her body; she is alone!
God walked on earth in those days Now, still, in my hearts He walks still
And the broken face of this horizoned World is covered by crystal cross ice And the broken face of this horizoned World is covered by crystal cross ice When this whole wide eyeless world sighs This eyeless world sighs
All the stars are souls, each single planet is The life-flame of the nothingy eternity spark I cannot believe despite the evidence of one God-eye And one poor eye that this world is God's own Blood red, grass green Blue black sky-pied paradise When I lay in the arms of one woman I said to her, silent: "You will be forever mine"
Oh, you go as you shall though Die, die die Sleep as you shall die I will love you always between your bodies I pray that I shall be forever thine If I say to you, love, then listen You should be crowned above all
God walked on earth in those days Now, still, in my hearts He walks still
some lines that feel really eternal here:
Why should we have compassion for others When god himself has had no pity on others?
and
Certain colors came from her body...
