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"
In every life there comes a time
When we're put to the test
And though our hearts are weary
We must earn the right to rest
And though at times it seems that we
Will never make it through
When you're ready to give up
The strength will come to you
And you'll find a little faith
In the darkest hour
When your hope is all but gone
You're gonna feel the power
If you take a little time
For one last prayer
You'll find a little faith
Waiting there
It's hard to find a reason
For the suffering and pain
Even those with hearts of gold
Cannot escape the rain
Ah, maybe it's the only way
A heart can truly grow
To reach so deep inside ourselves
We find a miracle
And you'll find a little faith
In the darkest hour
When your hope is all but gone
You're gonna feel the power
If you take a little time
For one last prayer
You'll find a little faith
Waiting there
So don't let it go
When your back is to the wall (back is to the wall)
Though it seems that all is lost
It's still possible
Yeah, Heaven knows that even angels fall (even angels fall)
Someone out there loves you
You gotta stir it up
You gotta pull it up
You gotta hold it up
You gotta find a little faith
In the darkest hour
When your hope is all but gone (hope is gone)
You're gonna feel the power
If you take a little time (If you take a little time)
For one last prayer
You'll find a little faith
Waiting there
We're gonna find a little faith
Waiting there
You gotta stir it up (you gotta stir it up)
Come on and pull it up (pull it up)
And if you hold it up
You'll find a little faith (find it, find it)
You gotta stir it up (oh)
Come on and pull it up (come on and pull it up)
And if you hold it up
You'll find a little faith
Oh, girl
You gotta stir it up (stir it up)
Come on and pull it up (pull it up)
Pull it up you'll find
A little faith
You don't need a lot
If you got some faith
You'll find, you'll find
A little faith, a little faith
When we're put to the test
And though our hearts are weary
We must earn the right to rest
And though at times it seems that we
Will never make it through
When you're ready to give up
The strength will come to you
And you'll find a little faith
In the darkest hour
When your hope is all but gone
You're gonna feel the power
If you take a little time
For one last prayer
You'll find a little faith
Waiting there
It's hard to find a reason
For the suffering and pain
Even those with hearts of gold
Cannot escape the rain
Ah, maybe it's the only way
A heart can truly grow
To reach so deep inside ourselves
We find a miracle
And you'll find a little faith
In the darkest hour
When your hope is all but gone
You're gonna feel the power
If you take a little time
For one last prayer
You'll find a little faith
Waiting there
So don't let it go
When your back is to the wall (back is to the wall)
Though it seems that all is lost
It's still possible
Yeah, Heaven knows that even angels fall (even angels fall)
Someone out there loves you
You gotta stir it up
You gotta pull it up
You gotta hold it up
You gotta find a little faith
In the darkest hour
When your hope is all but gone (hope is gone)
You're gonna feel the power
If you take a little time (If you take a little time)
For one last prayer
You'll find a little faith
Waiting there
We're gonna find a little faith
Waiting there
You gotta stir it up (you gotta stir it up)
Come on and pull it up (pull it up)
And if you hold it up
You'll find a little faith (find it, find it)
You gotta stir it up (oh)
Come on and pull it up (come on and pull it up)
And if you hold it up
You'll find a little faith
Oh, girl
You gotta stir it up (stir it up)
Come on and pull it up (pull it up)
Pull it up you'll find
A little faith
You don't need a lot
If you got some faith
You'll find, you'll find
A little faith, a little faith

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
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.

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,

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.
