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"

Requiem aeternam dona eis Domine:
et lux perpetua luceat eis
Silent see of dark and terror
spare the planet from this terror
white cold moon and Zaephyr's surface
Salva me, Salva me, Salva me...
I will swear I will call my hate
and eternal rage
She's ready to turn off her life's flame
to free all his people from hell
but no... he doesn't want to accept thos solution
preferring to think of how he can escape
Hundreds of them are now coming
"friend" is now an ancient word
there's no place left to hide in this white icy dungeon
no way to survive of the
close shadows' fall
shadows' fall...
And so she made her choice
seeing Arkan fooling himself with lost hopes
She left her lover's arms
and crying she started to run away...
to them!
She looked at him praying... "forgive me!"
but he could nost answer at all
she was going to be killed by the
mass of those riles
now screaming and trying
to stop all their pain
'cause she would have been surely tortured
by all of those religion's fools
he was then obliged
to shoot at his princess
to avoid the brutality of his now...
dead old friends
She was now lying there
dying in a lake of ice and blood
while he, embracing her
was killing them with his red eyes
WHEN HER BLOOD RAN THROUGH THE DARK ICE
THE SURFACE BEGAN TO TREMBLE
QUAKES AND THUNDERS CLASHING EVERYWHERE
THIS IS ZAEPHYR'S TRAGIC DOOMSDAY
WHAT WAS UNREVEALED SO EVEN
TO THE PROPHET OF THE LAST ECLIPSE...
LAST ECLIPSE
She was now lying there
dying in a lake of ice and blood
oh no... why she's dead now...
No trace of life around
What happened to his ancient town?
He hopes it's not a dream
but it's the sun now lighting him
WHEN HER BLOOD RAN THROUGH THE DARK ICE
THE SURFACE BEGAN TO TREMBLE
QUAKES AND THUNDERS CLASHING EVERYWHERE
THIS IS ZAEPHYR'S TRAGIC DOOMSDAY
WHAT WAS UNREVEALED EVEN
TO THE PROPHET OF THE LAST ECLIPSE...
LAST ECLIPSE
Silent seed of dark and terror
spare the planet from hisd horror
white cold moon and Zaephyr's surface
Salva me, Salva me, Salva me...
I will swear I will call my hate
and eternal rage

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
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.
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
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.
This song is my favorite!!
