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"
Hm n no no no hey yeah no oh hey no no yeah girl
I stepped into the club
Clocked this fly girl shakin' her stuff now
Lookin' so hot I could help but say yeah
Moves to make a bother want to go there
I'm talking unbelievable
Never seen a girl quite like this before now
Trying to figure out what I gotta do
To get the chance to spend a moment with you
'cause girl you're looking so damn fly tonight
And I know I'd like to take it there alright
What you've got's breaking all of the rules
So keep doing what you're doing ooh baby
She's so hypnotic, the way she moves on the floor she's got it
The way she making me feel I shouldn't want it but his girl she's so sexy
So hypnotic got every girl up in this club trying to top it
But that don't mean that this girl is goin' stop it
Oh no she's so sexy
No time for drinks at the bar even though she's got me so hot at the risk of
Losing it all, I
Don't want to be the one the fool to let her go
Think it's about time that I dropped my my cool and let her know that
She's sensational got me watchin' every move and got me begging for more well
Holding back it nearly drove me crazy that's when I slid up and said girl excuse
Me
Mm you're looking so damn fly tonight
Your body gives me butterflies inside
I'd really like to talk to you
So keep doin' what you're doing
Oh baby

The way she making me feel I shouldn't want it but his girl she's so sexy
So hypnotic got every girl up in this club trying to top it
But that don't mean that this girl is gon stop it
Oh no she's so sexy
Thought I'd seen everything in the world
But that all changed for me tonight
From the moment I looked in your eyes girl (ooh you blew my mind)
I know it's crazy but don't get me wrong
I just gotta have you in my life girl
Your vibe's just so hypnotic?

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.
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
No Comments on this one yet? Well to me it's pretty obvious.
He's out, in a club and he's got his eye on this one girl, she's making him crazy for her! Simple as that really.
