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"
Moi, je m'appelle Lolita
Lo ou bien Lola
Du pareil au même
Moi, je m'appelle Lolita
Quand je rêve aux loups
C'est Lola qui saigne
Quand fourche ma langue, j'ai là
Un fou rire, aussi fou qu'un phénomène
Je m'appelle Lolita
L'eau de vie, l'eau aux amours diluviennes
C'est pas ma faute
Et quand je donne ma langue aux chats
Je vois les autres tout prêts à se jeter sur moi
C'est pas ma faute à moi
Si j'entends tout autour de moi
L-O-L-I-T-A, moi, Lolita
Moi, je m'appelle Lolita
Collégienne aux bas
Bleus de méthylène
Moi, je m'appelle Lolita
Coléreuse et pas
Mi-coton, mi-laine
Motus et bouche qui n'dit pas
À maman que je suis un phénomène
Je m'appelle Lolita
L'eau de vie, l'eau aux amours diluviennes
C'est pas ma faute
Et quand je donne ma langue aux chats
Je vois les autres tout prêts à se jeter sur moi
C'est pas ma faute à moi
Si j'entends tout autour de moi

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
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.

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
I am called Lolita Lo or Lola is fine Both are the same to me I am called Lolita When I dream of wolves It is Lola that bleeds When my tongue is forked I have a mad laugh about it Also mad for a phenomenon I am called Lolita Lo to life, lo to 'diluven' love
It is not my fault When I hesitate to reply I see the others All ready to pounce on me It is not MY fault Hello, Helli, you're A (this phrase in french also spells out the word Lolita) Me Lolita
I am called Lolita The worst schoolgirl Mythelene Blue Me, I am called Lolita Quick-tempered and not Mid-cotton, mid-wool I dont tell mama that I am a phenomenon I am called Lolita Lo to life, lo to 'diluven' love
In the video, she's running down the road when a man manages to catch her (he appears to be her boyfriend), he talks to her a bit, then she asks for some money. He gives her the money, then she says 'I'll pay you back' or something like that and runs away.
She runs home where her mother and I'm quessing her younger sister are washing clothes in their back yard. The mother talks to her a bit, then suddenly explodes and starts screaming and throwing stuff around (Lolita didnt say anything, but I cant hear the dialogue over the music). Lolita grabs her sister and is later seen running through a weat field. They arrive at a club and Lolita goes into the back room to put on make up before she comes back out and dances with the rest of the crowd. Her sister is just standing their the entire time watching her (she also starts dancing a bit at the end). Her boyfriend comes in and walks up behind her, and she doesnt seem to mind this at all, despite the fact that they didnt seem to be on good terms at the beginning. At the end of the video, she's shown walking down the road with her sister with her boyfriend walking like 10-20 ft behind them.
The man is trying to catch her because he wants to know if she loves him, as he loves her. She asks him for 200 Francs, he gladly gives it to her. She then says, "You'll get this back some time." But he tells her that it didn't matter to him, she could keep it. <br /> <br /> Her mother is questioning her on where she's been and telling her that she is dressed way too lightly, or as her mother (in the video) says, "You're dressed like a whore". Before they completely cut off, her mother is calling her a scoundral and then telling her to get out of her sight; Lolita runs inside because of her mother's words. <br /> <br /> Then it goes to the song.
