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"
Anna Lucia steps out of her car,
loosens her scarf as she enters the bar.
Then she goes dancin' and romancin'.
Anna Lucia drinks rum for revenge,
thinks of her cowboy all covered in red.
Then she just smiles, turns to her left and
Anna makes talk with the man to her side.
Asks of his plans for the rest of the night.
Then he says, "Anna, you're gorgeous."
Then she falls into his arms,
says, "This won't be so hard,
just love you over nothing,
over something."
Girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do.
Doesn't matter how she gets it or if she speaks the truth.
Her eyes bright with love and a warm sense of touch,
she confesses up to heaven just to kill the god above.
Anna Lucia just follows his car.
Marks on a street while he opens his door
to his apartment. But she's conflicted.
Anna conceals a blade in her purse:
her mind is made up when she pulls down her skirt.
She says, "Please excuse me, I'll be right back, hun."
Anna goes back to her bag for the knife.
Returns to the room and then turns out the light.
Goodnight, goodnight.
For the wolves that try to hurt us.
For the wolves that don't desert us.
For the wolves that don't deserve us.
Here's luck's revenge:
He spots her knife when she gets on top and
asks her calmly what she's going to do, then
she looks up at the ceiling then cries, says, "I want revenge."
Then he grabs her by her arms, says, "Will it fix your heart?
Damn...just kill me now
over nothing, over something." Yeah...
Then she falls back to her knees, screams, "Please don't break my heart,
just love me
over nothing, just something." Yeah...
For the snakes that will betray us.
For the sharks that still destroy us.
For the folks who set your heart on fire.
Who's crying now?
"Anna Lucia," he said, "I'm pleased to meet you.
Please don't say goodnight, no, no."
"Anna Lucia," he said, "I'm pleased to meet you.
Please don't call this luck, no."
Anna Lucia, I'm pleased to meet you.
Please don't say goodnight, no, no.
Anna Lucia, I'm pleased to meet you.
Please don't call this luck, no.

No Surprises
Radiohead
Radiohead
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.
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
AMAZINGGGGG SONGGG... ill get to over analyzing it later haha.
Ok well this one is pretty straight forward. Does anyone really have to say it?
this song is very self explanatory. i want to know the full concept of the cd.
Seems a very small deviation from the character Anna Lucia's back story from LOST.
