Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
Look who's got a new nose
Plastic lips and fake tits
Ever tasted silicon?
I've got scars on my eyes
Look who is the best dressed
Oh, my gosh, the worst hair
Who designed that mink coat?
I've got stars in my eyes
Oh-oh-oh
Guess who's got a new car?
Bet she dates a rock star
I want to make a million
I've got lies in my mouth
Eyeshadow and glitter gold
Diamond rings and lip-syncs
Anything material
I've got scars on my eyes
Alright
Baby, you know if you're not beautiful
Just cover it up
With make-up kits and perforated scalpel seams
We'll do you right up
I'm so obsessed with looking like celebrities
Make myself throw up
But it's all right cause one day I know I'll be fine
Like everyone else
And it's alright
Music played to advertise
Logo shirts and hairstyles
Chop and cut monopolize
I've got scars in my mouth
Worship to the cash cow
Nod your head now take a bow
Faking grins and cleft chins
I've got stars in my eyes
Alright
Baby, you know if you're not beautiful
Just cover it up
With make-up kits and perforated scalpel seams
We'll do you right up
I'm so obsessed with living like celebrities
Make myself throw up
With staple skin and backstab flattery
I'm coughing it up
And It's all
Hey, little darling
I'll sell you the definition
If you follow me through pages
And channels of deceit where
Everyone is perfect and nobody grows old
You're bliss in the ignorance of images
'Cause beautiful is what we're selling
Yeah
Alright, alright
hold me down, yeah
So sell it
So sell it
So sell it, so sell it
So sell you beautiful
I've got stars in my eyes
(It's not how you feel it's only how you look)
Baby, you know if you're not beautiful
Just cover it up
With make-up kits and perforated scalpel seams
We'll do you right up
I'm so obsessed with looking like celebrities
Make myself throw up
But it's all right cause one day I know I'll be fine
Like everyone else
And it's all
Yeah, you know it's all they're selling you
Yeah, it's all they're selling you
Oh, it's all they're selling you darling

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
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.
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.
Page
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
HELL yes. the rxbandits just keep getting better and better like WHOA. just look at those lyrics. we seriously need more bands like them.
July 15th.. eeeeeeeek.
saw them last night. they played this song. its so good it hurts
saw them last night. they played this song. its so good it hurts
this song is so awesome. obviously about how we live in a society that's so shallow (and in some parts of the song, it's even a mock of society). Most everywhere you look, people are trying to be 'beautiful' not realizing it's what's on the inside that counts.
i agree its about people being like celebs because they are so fake....
This song was written by Matt while he looked at a "People" magazine...alot of the lyrics came directly from the magazine, I thought that was kind of a cool idea...
haha, that's a great way to write a song. everyone else is right, i think, how everybody is so fake and cares about other people so much. it could be a reality kick for some people. it's obviously meant to be sarcastic. and curious, does anyone notice that that really light, background music, that kind of sounds like an ice cream truck... ? or did i just download a weird version...
I love it ^^...Oh My Gosh the Worst Hair. Make a Mockery of the Majority
