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"
[Intro]
I can't read
I got five on it
I got five on it too my niggas
You smokin nigga?
Nah, I ain't smokin
Nigga come on, just hit the fuckin blunt
Nah, ya'll know I don't smoke
This nigga never wanna smoke
I'm high off life nigga
(We should hotbox it)
Straight-edge ass nigga
I'm good man
Fuck it, if you ain't gonna fuckin smoke nigga, just rap for us nigga
Alright, I can do that
[Tyler the Creator]
Yo,
I'm Tyler, Mr. Green Hat
Poor bullshit anti-clean rap
Fuck your blog opinion and your feedback
My self respect I leave that
In the lost and found
where the black girls get their weaves back
Awesome, I achieve that, minnie
Blasting "You're a jerk" in some fucking yellow skinnies
looking like a fucking faggot
Bouncing round the house trying to find an easy way to rape minnie
Bet you thirty dollars you find her like cartman found kenny dead
I like my girls smart, skinny, kinda poptart
When I bite into 'em, red
I'm a self-racist, you should tape this
I'm the rapist, I'm a fascist, fuck fashion
gucci belts is for them faggots
my hat is by GB
if you got a fuckin problem with the future
you can get a death wish just like a ??
fuck the biz apparent, odd future errant
I'm watching the barracks getting head from someone's parent
Blind fucking hate inside my heart
Guaranteed that I'm sharing in the force with the cyclops staring
I'm flying on the beaver, you're a disbeliever
So don't ask for no motherfuckin ride
When you see us swim right past you
This shit that was said, that I'm nutty
Cuz I jack off with dish soap and smell gas fumes
Permanent brain damage similar to tattoos
The shit you can mention me if anybody ask you
Care to juggle with the cash news? (??)
You didn't see me here if someone ask you
(That nigga got off)
[Hodgy Beats]
I wanna feel her in every way
Mary Jane keeps me high like every day
Bong, vaporizer, in the sack now
Stuck in my high, afraid of heights, I'm trapped
Buy a swisher for a dollar or two blunt wraps
Roll it up and make sure that everything's fat
She ain't got time to try to relieve ya
But she'll get all in your head -- sativa
[BranDun Deshay]
I'm good but ya'll don't want me like vegetables
I'm all in front of you zeroes like decimals
Let's take em high like the decibels
So we get em high, get em high like cholesterol
In the overweight motherlover, my tracks is filled with blubber
That's fat
Who needs another producer?
Go get it from odd future
Used to ride solo cuz i ain't really care what the rest say
type of nigga to jerk off to his own sex tape
best stay away, been doin clothes, i show up before hos
best believe me if you want more of those
and i got a girlfriend
so i'm gonna keep lyin til the verse end
[Outro]

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
No Surprises

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.

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.

"I'm Tyler, Mr. Green Hat Poor bullshit anti-clean rap"
I think it's 'pro-abortion, anti-clean rap'
