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"
I just lost my job
I just lost my girl
Things are getting way out of hand
But my living room is like quicksand
(Sucks me down)
I'll never leave
(In the ground)
My cable TV
I'm burnt out and lazy
Looking
Dwelling
Fuck me
I'm lazy
Look at my cat
Why can't I live like that
All other animals except us
do nothing else but eat and shit
(Yesterday)
Is not the time
(Two more rounds)
Haven't yet begun
(Another week)
Another Month
Going
Always
Fuck you
I'm lazy
I have no faults to fear, I'm down here
There's nothing to fear, no changes
'Cause having it all means nothing
I am not in beyond great pressure or the reason I see on you
Blue day again
Trying to reach end
A call, the machine, unseen action
No act of faith
No deed of good
(Yesterday)
Is not the time
(Two more rounds)
Is it not yet here
(Another month)
Another year
I just lost my girl
Things are getting way out of hand
But my living room is like quicksand
(Sucks me down)
I'll never leave
(In the ground)
My cable TV
I'm burnt out and lazy
Looking
Dwelling
Fuck me
I'm lazy
Look at my cat
Why can't I live like that
All other animals except us
do nothing else but eat and shit
(Yesterday)
Is not the time
(Two more rounds)
Haven't yet begun
(Another week)
Another Month
Going
Always
Fuck you
I'm lazy
I have no faults to fear, I'm down here
There's nothing to fear, no changes
'Cause having it all means nothing
I am not in beyond great pressure or the reason I see on you
Blue day again
Trying to reach end
A call, the machine, unseen action
No act of faith
No deed of good
(Yesterday)
Is not the time
(Two more rounds)
Is it not yet here
(Another month)
Another year

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.
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/
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
"Look at my cat, why can't I live like that, all of the animals except a few do nothing else but eat and shit..." So true...
I like this song because I am lazy as fuck and I too wish I was a cat too so I wouldn't have to do shit the whole day.

Thank god someone got the whole lyrics down. You have the whole song there and it is fully correct. Good shit man. Oh this song is awesome by the way...cause i'm lazy as hell too, haha.
nah its not 100%.. the bit where i wrote 'head not down' im pretty sure is wrong, and the bit at the end..the 'I am not in great pressure , Harbouring jealousy of you' i think he sings something like that but i dont think that is actually right, anyone got any ideas?
i found "I am not in BEYOND great pressure harbouring jealousy of you" in another version and i think it sounds a lot like this too... but...(i'm sorry i'm from germany) is it correct speech?! or just his poetic licence loool
I know it's a stupid question, but do you hear Fat Mike singing or am I wrong?
I hear Mike too!!
