This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Picture me flying down the highway
Rolling my way I can sit and marinate
But why should I stay just roll
Can never be still it seems I am always on the go
One day at a time I vision everything in slow mo
That's how I kept it always and I won't change
I can stand here like a statue but have no game to grow
Can never be still it seems I'm always on the go
One day at a time I vision everything in slow mo
Capitol eye dash to the man to the land is where I navigate you
Hit your city then we make moves
Every county every state too
We bake and take the cake too
The effects that suffocate you
Handle business on my way through
When I leave it don't mean I hate you
Nomadically, no matter where I be
It will be with me I mean musically
I stay on game because I'm choosing to be
Coming out the system when your cruising the streets
Slightly Stoopid and the band CE
World wide most definitely
Hang around here what you expecting from me
When I am gone later on you will be checking for me
People can take me the wrong way
Call it a night from a long day till it's gone hey
Pass me a bottle of that Bombay
But I hate it when it feels like a Monday
But I can't stay I got to stick and move
Be ready in this case they switch the rules
Get it off my chest with the SS crew
That could never be me but I guess that is you
Different strokes for different faces
Spacious skies stay high and gracious
Patience makes us feel tired and wasted
Came so close I can almost taste it
Switch it up once and change the game plan
Put in on you like a Nike name brand
Till you give it up and let respect change hands
It will never be the same man
Rolling my way I can sit and marinate
But why should I stay just roll
Can never be still it seems I am always on the go
One day at a time I vision everything in slow mo
That's how I kept it always and I won't change
I can stand here like a statue but have no game to grow
Can never be still it seems I'm always on the go
One day at a time I vision everything in slow mo
Capitol eye dash to the man to the land is where I navigate you
Hit your city then we make moves
Every county every state too
We bake and take the cake too
The effects that suffocate you
Handle business on my way through
When I leave it don't mean I hate you
Nomadically, no matter where I be
It will be with me I mean musically
I stay on game because I'm choosing to be
Coming out the system when your cruising the streets
Slightly Stoopid and the band CE
World wide most definitely
Hang around here what you expecting from me
When I am gone later on you will be checking for me
People can take me the wrong way
Call it a night from a long day till it's gone hey
Pass me a bottle of that Bombay
But I hate it when it feels like a Monday
But I can't stay I got to stick and move
Be ready in this case they switch the rules
Get it off my chest with the SS crew
That could never be me but I guess that is you
Different strokes for different faces
Spacious skies stay high and gracious
Patience makes us feel tired and wasted
Came so close I can almost taste it
Switch it up once and change the game plan
Put in on you like a Nike name brand
Till you give it up and let respect change hands
It will never be the same man

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.

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.
it goes: "we're slightly stoopid and the air is all dank".
