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"
Another day gone by
And still no reason why
You say goodbye but then you cry
A million miles apart we lie
I opened every door to you
I put all my trust in you
You took advantage of it why?
Was every word you said a lie?
[Chorus]
It's just another day, that didn't go my way
It's just another day
'Cause times change, your mind's rearranged
You walked away cause you started feeling strange
You knew from the start that this wasn't for you
But your feelings can't control, the things that you do
That you do
I sit in here with all this fear
Empty thoughts and a blank stare
Trying to find, a reason why
The ones you trust, are the ones that lie
And was I wrong, for trusting you
You said you just don't know what to do
When you're with him, you think of me
Cause change means losing security
[Chorus]
It's just another day, that you're living life this way
It's just another day
'Cause times change, your mind's rearranged
You walked away cause you started feeling strange
You knew from the start that this wasn't for you
But your feelings can't control, the things that you do
That you do
You say there's too much past with him
You can't throw it all away
But the past is all you have with him
History means security
That's what I say, it's just another day
[Chorus]
Cause times change, your mind's rearranged
You walked away cause you started feeling strange
You knew from the start that this wasn't for you
But your feelings can't control, the things that you do
'Cause times change, your mind's rearranged
You walked away cause you started feeling strange
You knew from the start that this wasn't for you
But your feelings can't control, the things that you do
That you do
It's just another day
And still no reason why
You say goodbye but then you cry
A million miles apart we lie
I opened every door to you
I put all my trust in you
You took advantage of it why?
Was every word you said a lie?
[Chorus]
It's just another day, that didn't go my way
It's just another day
'Cause times change, your mind's rearranged
You walked away cause you started feeling strange
You knew from the start that this wasn't for you
But your feelings can't control, the things that you do
That you do
I sit in here with all this fear
Empty thoughts and a blank stare
Trying to find, a reason why
The ones you trust, are the ones that lie
And was I wrong, for trusting you
You said you just don't know what to do
When you're with him, you think of me
Cause change means losing security
[Chorus]
It's just another day, that you're living life this way
It's just another day
'Cause times change, your mind's rearranged
You walked away cause you started feeling strange
You knew from the start that this wasn't for you
But your feelings can't control, the things that you do
That you do
You say there's too much past with him
You can't throw it all away
But the past is all you have with him
History means security
That's what I say, it's just another day
[Chorus]
Cause times change, your mind's rearranged
You walked away cause you started feeling strange
You knew from the start that this wasn't for you
But your feelings can't control, the things that you do
'Cause times change, your mind's rearranged
You walked away cause you started feeling strange
You knew from the start that this wasn't for you
But your feelings can't control, the things that you do
That you do
It's just another day

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.
