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"
Seven years old, you heard me cry
I don't wanna say goodbye
To the only man that I love
My daddy and everything he was
I don't think I can live without you
Dad I know you're breaking in two
With tears running down his face, he says
'we're gonna make it, we're gonna make it'
When you feel like you are all alone
Just like your best friend up and gone
Don't worry now, don't worry now
I've been there, yeah, I know how it feels
To wonder if love is even real
Don't worry now, don't worry now
It's gonna be okay
I've been trying to find a way to understand
But I can't see the picture of God's plan
Why would He let us hurt so bad'
Could anything good come of these feelings that I have'
He loved me more than the sand on the beaches
He loved me more than the grass is green
And even though he had to go
I always knew his love was part of me, yeah
When you feel like you are all alone
Just like your best friend up and gone
Don't worry now, don't worry now
I've been there, yeah, I know how it feels
To wonder if love is even real
Don't worry now, don't worry now
It's taken so long to let this go
It's taken so long to feel that
You're right here next to me
And I can finally breathe
It's taken so long but now I know
I had to find out on my own
When nothing could convince me
Your love it convinced me
That it's gonna be okay
When you feel like you are all alone
Just like your best friend up and gone
Don't worry now, don't worry now
I've been there, yeah, I know how it feels
To wonder if love is even real
Don't worry now, don't worry now
'Cause it's gonna be, yeah, it's gonna be okay
I don't wanna say goodbye
To the only man that I love
My daddy and everything he was
I don't think I can live without you
Dad I know you're breaking in two
With tears running down his face, he says
'we're gonna make it, we're gonna make it'
When you feel like you are all alone
Just like your best friend up and gone
Don't worry now, don't worry now
I've been there, yeah, I know how it feels
To wonder if love is even real
Don't worry now, don't worry now
It's gonna be okay
I've been trying to find a way to understand
But I can't see the picture of God's plan
Why would He let us hurt so bad'
Could anything good come of these feelings that I have'
He loved me more than the sand on the beaches
He loved me more than the grass is green
And even though he had to go
I always knew his love was part of me, yeah
When you feel like you are all alone
Just like your best friend up and gone
Don't worry now, don't worry now
I've been there, yeah, I know how it feels
To wonder if love is even real
Don't worry now, don't worry now
It's taken so long to let this go
It's taken so long to feel that
You're right here next to me
And I can finally breathe
It's taken so long but now I know
I had to find out on my own
When nothing could convince me
Your love it convinced me
That it's gonna be okay
When you feel like you are all alone
Just like your best friend up and gone
Don't worry now, don't worry now
I've been there, yeah, I know how it feels
To wonder if love is even real
Don't worry now, don't worry now
'Cause it's gonna be, yeah, it's gonna be okay

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.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

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.
It's a song about her father dying or leaving and how theres no need to worry about it. She tells the story about how much he loved her. Also to some people i talked to think the second verse can be about a boyfriend/girlfriend and how the time together is bad and is going downhill or about breaking up.
That's what i think feel free to add on!
I went to her concert and when she sang this song she kind of went thro the meanings of it like her father said that he loved her more then the sand on the beach...her parents got a devorce and she telling herself and others that whatever they go thro its going to be ok because god will always love you.
This song was written about her parents getting divorced and how upset she was by it because she was a daddy's girl and now she wouldn't be with her dad
