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"
[Ice-T]
How many bullets can your back hold, suckin from the HK
The red dot`s on your dome, from the light ray
Boom bam bust oh shit kid, your head is a pile of puss
I`m kickin up much dust, the nigga ya can`t trust
This is my shit, my hood, my turf
My gold, my grip, whatever the fuck it`s worth
I don`t need nobody comin in my territory
Tryin' to rip a nigga off and fuck your fuckin sob stories
[Ice Cube]
Take a good look at my motherfuckin' jacker
About to feel the wrath, of a greedy ass cracker
Pale as snow, so you know the hoe stand out
Comin' in my hood with his hand out
Tryin' to get over on the black, but the motherfuckin' mack
Will put a fuckin' slug in his back
And with the boom ping ping, it ain`t no thing to blast
On greedy motherfuckers that trespass
[Chorus]
[Ice Cube]
Olly olly outcome free, here come the G
I`m saggin, and Enter the Dragon like Bruce Lee
I gots to get mo` money mo` money
Can`t get pussy with no money
See I`m kind of greedy, cause all my heroes
got zeroes in back of a one
Here`s my gun, about to get paid at last
But now I`m gettin covered, in dirt and grass, kick it
[Ice-T]
The madder I get, the higher the debt, the deeper you get
The thicker the sweat
Cause I`m a nigga with fat clout
But ya in, but ya gotta get back out
No easy job, for some suckers is out to rob
Crosshair on your dome and your mind`s blown
You want to go home... ain`t that a bitch?
Cube, dig the ditch (yep)
Chorus
[Ice-T]
I got a full time job of takin suckers out
Breakin em off, yea word, I love revokin clout
Test me, stress me, who could the best be?
The teflon nine go through vests G
But when you`re greedy you don`t care about life itself
You`re chasin extreme wealth
You can`t be trusted cause trust ain`t in the fuckin game
Scandalous is your fuckin name
[Ice Cube]
I`m the motherfucker you`re stuck wit
Ice Cube -- "Wronnnnnnng nigga to FUCK WIT!"
I`m rich, pitchin a bitch about gettin mo`
The big fish, swimmin in big dough
The G backstabber, I got ta have a
Lexus Coupe, when I troop
with the ski mask, gotta get the cash
My homeboy ain`t home, so fuck it I`ll trespass
How many bullets can your back hold, suckin from the HK
The red dot`s on your dome, from the light ray
Boom bam bust oh shit kid, your head is a pile of puss
I`m kickin up much dust, the nigga ya can`t trust
This is my shit, my hood, my turf
My gold, my grip, whatever the fuck it`s worth
I don`t need nobody comin in my territory
Tryin' to rip a nigga off and fuck your fuckin sob stories

Take a good look at my motherfuckin' jacker
About to feel the wrath, of a greedy ass cracker
Pale as snow, so you know the hoe stand out

Will put a fuckin' slug in his back
And with the boom ping ping, it ain`t no thing to blast

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.
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/
