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"
Yeah, turn that up
I ain't really finna tell y'all how to get away with murder and shit
Forever, forever, forever, forever, forever, forever, forever
Forever, forever, forever, forever, forever, forever, forever
Forever, forever-ever baby
Would you love me, forever-ever baby?
Would you fuck me, forever-ever baby?
You gon' kiss me, forever-ever baby?
Top floor, I was in the nosebleed
Like I just dropped diamonds I'm flushing
None of these niggas can smoke me easy
Tour bus smoking on that musty
Know I been in love for a while
You gon' make me fall in love for a while
Hoppin' out the SLS for a while
Baby girl got me so obsessed for a while, babe
You gon' really have to hold me fucking down, babe
'Cause I ain't with the fuckery, that playing round, babe
Unless we playing in the sheets, baby mad laid
Forever-ever in them cheeks, baby mad cake
Forever-ever getting cheese, baby mad cake
Yeah, getting mad cake
Yeah, getting cheese, getting mad cake
Big down baby, bust it on your whole face
Ap, had to go and ice the whole face
Yeah, nigga fresher than some Colgate
Hanging with some big gorillas, yeah they go ape
Talk down, pussy nigga be cold case
Yeah 'cause I'm forever a thug, ever a thug
Baby I'm forever in love, ever in love
Make me feel better with love
When I said I love you, bitch, I say that with love
Yeah I'm forever a thug, ever a thug
Baby I'm forever in love, ever in love
Make me feel better with love
When I said I love you, you bitch, I said it with love, yeah
I'm watching the highs, we rarely talk
We Bonnie and Clyde but except the shots
Speaking of shots I got Silkk The Shocker mindset bitch
Diamonds so Actavis bottles your T-Rex shit
This money'll change your friends but your girl love it
But believing the bitch is a sin so I don't remember that
Pimp dress talk, I can make this work walk
I'm a gangsta, you a cop, nigga, bad luck
Forever, forever-ever baby
Would you love me, forever-ever baby?
Would you fuck me, forever-ever baby?
You gon' kiss me, forever-ever baby?
Top floor, I was in the nosebleed
Like I just dropped diamonds I'm flushing
None of these niggas can smoke me easy
Tour bus smoking on that musty
I need the racks, the cheddar, forever-ever
I need them bands, them bands, forever-ever
Why you playin' with this ice now, forever-ever?
Oh no no no I'ma never let her
If he don't love you like he should, I can love you better
Oh, he don't fuck you like he should, I can fuck you better
Put the busses out the lot, put the brakes on the pedal
Just know that this drip lasts forever
Just know that this drip lasts forever
Just know that this drip lasts forever
Just know that this drip lasts forever
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah
Forever forever forever forever
I ain't really finna tell y'all how to get away with murder and shit
Forever, forever, forever, forever, forever, forever, forever
Forever, forever, forever, forever, forever, forever, forever
Forever, forever-ever baby
Would you love me, forever-ever baby?
Would you fuck me, forever-ever baby?
You gon' kiss me, forever-ever baby?
Top floor, I was in the nosebleed
Like I just dropped diamonds I'm flushing
None of these niggas can smoke me easy

No Surprises
Radiohead
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/
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
