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"
Seed, gotta let it grow,
Why ya gotta watch when I let it feed?
Better look into the mirror
For the face you hide away, everyday
But I don't give a fuck
I let it roll
I smoke the old
Gotta run, gotta rend, gotta maim,
Gotta make it through another maze
Stay away!
Please, wring the blood from my hands
Don't pretend that you understand me
I don't even want you looking at me
Motherfucker, get inside!
Get inside, get inside (motherfucker)
Get inside, get inside (motherfucker)
Get inside, get inside (motherfucker)
Get inside, get inside (motherfucker)
Christ, have you seen this guy?
Make ya sick, gonna peel away all the impurities
'Cause all you want to do is keep curin' me,
But I don't give a fuck I kill everyone
You'll be mopping up blood and guts
And all the shit when I'm done
Isn't this fun? gimme a gun
And I'll tell you all the secrets I hide
Before I run!
Please, wring the blood from my hands
Don't pretend that you understand me
I don't even want you looking at me
Motherfucker, get inside!
Get inside, get inside (motherfucker)
Get inside, get inside (motherfucker)
Get inside, get inside (motherfucker)
Get inside, get inside (motherfucker)
Maybe if you look away,
I can slip away, gotta get away (run, motherfucker)
Right now I stare at shit, I'm a heretic,
But I'll never give you none of it
Tied up in the back of the lab, laid on the slab,
Got the gift of gab, what'chu want from me?
I don't even know I got a damn disease,
But I know you want to kill me!
Please, wring the blood from my hands
Don't pretend that you understand me
I don't even want you looking at me
Motherfucker, get inside!
Get inside, get inside (motherfucker)
Get inside, get inside (motherfucker)
Get inside, get inside (motherfucker)
Get inside, get inside (motherfucker)
Why ya gotta watch when I let it feed?
Better look into the mirror
For the face you hide away, everyday
But I don't give a fuck
I let it roll
I smoke the old
Gotta run, gotta rend, gotta maim,
Gotta make it through another maze
Stay away!
Please, wring the blood from my hands
Don't pretend that you understand me
I don't even want you looking at me
Motherfucker, get inside!
Get inside, get inside (motherfucker)
Get inside, get inside (motherfucker)
Get inside, get inside (motherfucker)
Get inside, get inside (motherfucker)
Christ, have you seen this guy?
Make ya sick, gonna peel away all the impurities
'Cause all you want to do is keep curin' me,
But I don't give a fuck I kill everyone
You'll be mopping up blood and guts
And all the shit when I'm done
Isn't this fun? gimme a gun
And I'll tell you all the secrets I hide
Before I run!
Please, wring the blood from my hands
Don't pretend that you understand me
I don't even want you looking at me
Motherfucker, get inside!
Get inside, get inside (motherfucker)
Get inside, get inside (motherfucker)
Get inside, get inside (motherfucker)
Get inside, get inside (motherfucker)
Maybe if you look away,
I can slip away, gotta get away (run, motherfucker)
Right now I stare at shit, I'm a heretic,
But I'll never give you none of it
Tied up in the back of the lab, laid on the slab,
Got the gift of gab, what'chu want from me?
I don't even know I got a damn disease,
But I know you want to kill me!
Please, wring the blood from my hands
Don't pretend that you understand me
I don't even want you looking at me
Motherfucker, get inside!
Get inside, get inside (motherfucker)
Get inside, get inside (motherfucker)
Get inside, get inside (motherfucker)
Get inside, get inside (motherfucker)

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

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
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“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.
I'd say the song is about the angers towards someone who judges people he doesn't even know, because of his own insecurities and stuff. You can't judge a book, looking at the cover, would that be. You have to GET INSIDE (show compassion) to get to know people and be able to judge or critcize. If you don't ... just "fuck you, leave me alone and stop your meddling!"
