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"
My baby's so fresh and he can do no wrong
He tells me im the best and tells the haters be gone
If you don't already know let me put you on
My baby's so fresh and he can do no wrong
There ain't no doubt about it my baby can do no wrong
They think I'm mad about it I'm not I just play along
Say what you want to I'm convinced that he can do no wrong
I stop the world and tell them my baby can do no wrong
[Chorus]
Lookin' at us everywhere we go
People starin' like can they roll
How we do it they just don't know
I can tell they'll never get it
Lookin at him he's so Sincere
Whisperin' nothin's up in my ear
They tell me leave him but I don't care
My baby can do no wrong
Tell the operator there's a problem, problem, problem
They say my baby's lying I ain't caught'em, caught'em, caught'em
Cause nothing in this world could
Nothing that I heard should
Change the way I feel because I got him, got him, got him [Repeat: x 2]
People they talk because their jealous of how tight we are
They see us everywhere we ride a round in fancy cars
Say what you want to cause I don't believe em', believe em'
Cause sometimes love don't have a rhyme or reason, reason
I know they think its madness and they think that I should leave
Cause every time I see his smile he puts my heart at ease
So when they try to give advice and tell me what to do
Just keep on talkin' now that I ain't even hearing you
[Chorus]
Tell the operator there's a problem, problem, problem
They say my baby's lying I ain't caught'em, caught'em, caught'em
Cause nothing in this world could
Nothing that I heard should
Change the way I feel because I got him, got him, got him [Repeat: x 2]
Hey Hey Hey Hey Hey
Hey Hey Hey Hey Hey
My baby's so fresh and he can do no wrong
He tells me I'm the best and tells the haters be gone
If you don't already know let me put you on
My baby's so fresh and he can do no wrong
Tell the operator there's a problem, problem, problem
They say my baby's lying I ain't caught'em, caught'em, caught'em
Cause nothing in this world could
Nothing that I heard should
Change the way I feel because I got him, got him, got him
He tells me im the best and tells the haters be gone
If you don't already know let me put you on
My baby's so fresh and he can do no wrong
There ain't no doubt about it my baby can do no wrong
They think I'm mad about it I'm not I just play along
Say what you want to I'm convinced that he can do no wrong
I stop the world and tell them my baby can do no wrong
[Chorus]
Lookin' at us everywhere we go
People starin' like can they roll
How we do it they just don't know
I can tell they'll never get it
Lookin at him he's so Sincere
Whisperin' nothin's up in my ear

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.
Magical

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.
