Abandon the safety of mindless following
Abandon what holds us captive to suffering
Pierce the blinders, behold
The path that leads before you
Let us forsake, forsake all the things
That leads us, leads to our demise
Open your eyes
See the divine
Open your eyes
And see the
Destruction of innocence
Watch it breathe it's last
Open your eyes (behold the path before you)
See the divine (forsake our demise)
Open your eyes (behold the path before you)
And see the
Abandon the safety of mindless following
To the grave we take this oath
To leave this world behind
Hear the words of the voice
That lives inside
Break free, this is your time
Break, this is your time
Break free
To the grave (to the grave)
Take this oath (take this oath)
To the grave (to the grave)
Take this oath
Abandon what holds us captive to suffering
Pierce the blinders, behold
The path that leads before you
Let us forsake, forsake all the things
That leads us, leads to our demise
Open your eyes
See the divine
Open your eyes
And see the
Destruction of innocence
Watch it breathe it's last
Open your eyes (behold the path before you)
See the divine (forsake our demise)
Open your eyes (behold the path before you)
And see the
Abandon the safety of mindless following
To the grave we take this oath
To leave this world behind
Hear the words of the voice
That lives inside
Break free, this is your time
Break, this is your time
Break free
To the grave (to the grave)
Take this oath (take this oath)
To the grave (to the grave)
Take this oath

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”

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
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.

“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
I think this song really fit with the stuff Jesse did on the first Killswitch album, again, it talks about not being a sheep and about not being scared to stand for what is right.
"To the grave take this oath" I think that pretty much sums up the whole song, live your life, doing what you know is right, no matter what anyone else says.
