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"
I've got protection from your infection
I've got protection
I've got protection, got to pass my inspection
I've got protection
Not gonna run, you son-of-a-gun
I am not afraid of you
Any time you want a showdown
You've been through every girl in town
Havin' fun, you're number one
Now I think it's time to slow down
You could never break my heart
Oh no, I have spoke to my connection
I bet you think you're pretty smart
Let's see how you can take rejection
I've got protection from your infection
I've got protection
I've got protection, got to pass my inspection
I've got protection
I've got protection from your infection
I've got protection
I've got protection, got to pass my inspection
I've got protection
Monkey see and monkey do
So the fellows imitate you
They think you're so together
All the girls wanna be with you
So cool that you fool them all
But that won't last forever
I think you met your match in me
Maybe in time you'll change your direction
Be honest with yourself
Recognize all your faults
And try to correct them
I've got protection from your infection
I've got protection
I've got protection, got to pass my inspection
I've got protection
I've got protection from your infection
I've got protection
I've got protection, got to pass my inspection
I've got protection
I've got protection from your infection
I've got protection, got to pass my inspection
I've got protection, ooh
I've got protection from your infection
I've got protection, got to pass my inspection
I've got protection, ooh
I've got protection from your infection
I've got protection, got to pass my inspection
I've got protection, ooh
I've got protection from your infection
I've got protection, got to pass my inspection
I've got protection, ooh
I've got protection
I've got protection, got to pass my inspection
I've got protection
Not gonna run, you son-of-a-gun
I am not afraid of you
Any time you want a showdown
You've been through every girl in town
Havin' fun, you're number one
Now I think it's time to slow down
You could never break my heart
Oh no, I have spoke to my connection
I bet you think you're pretty smart
Let's see how you can take rejection
I've got protection from your infection
I've got protection
I've got protection, got to pass my inspection
I've got protection
I've got protection from your infection
I've got protection
I've got protection, got to pass my inspection
I've got protection
Monkey see and monkey do
So the fellows imitate you
They think you're so together
All the girls wanna be with you
So cool that you fool them all
But that won't last forever
I think you met your match in me
Maybe in time you'll change your direction
Be honest with yourself
Recognize all your faults
And try to correct them
I've got protection from your infection
I've got protection
I've got protection, got to pass my inspection

I've got protection from your infection
I've got protection, got to pass my inspection
I've got protection, ooh
I've got protection from your infection
I've got protection, got to pass my inspection
I've got protection, ooh
I've got protection from your infection
I've got protection, got to pass my inspection
I've got protection, ooh
I've got protection from your infection
I've got protection, got to pass my inspection

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
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.

“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
