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 love you
You're my all
I will bow down before you
You're my God
My everything
When I fall you pick me up
You've always been there
You always will
I spit in your face, you wash my feet
I drive nails into your hands
Broken is your heart because you're pushed away
Can't we understand?
Broken is the groom who mourns for his dying bride, for their eyes to open once again
I want to see you in my life
I want to know you're in my heart
I want to touch you and be free
I want to fell you
Open my eyes let me see what you see and what you feel
Break my heart; make me desire more of you in my life
Let me know what it means to leave this world behind
Christ forgive me for running from you
I will give you all my life
Take it away now
Take this broken man
Take this tired spirit and renew me now
Renew me Jesus, I love you
You are my true love
Let my tears clean your feet and heal your broken heart
Here's my life
Here's my heart
Take it away with you
Take it away
You're my all
I will bow down before you
You're my God
My everything
When I fall you pick me up
You've always been there
You always will
I spit in your face, you wash my feet
I drive nails into your hands
Broken is your heart because you're pushed away
Can't we understand?
Broken is the groom who mourns for his dying bride, for their eyes to open once again
I want to see you in my life
I want to know you're in my heart
I want to touch you and be free
I want to fell you
Open my eyes let me see what you see and what you feel
Break my heart; make me desire more of you in my life
Let me know what it means to leave this world behind
Christ forgive me for running from you
I will give you all my life
Take it away now
Take this broken man
Take this tired spirit and renew me now
Renew me Jesus, I love you
You are my true love
Let my tears clean your feet and heal your broken heart
Here's my life
Here's my heart
Take it away with you
Take it away

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.

American Town
Ed Sheeran

Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
I had no idea these were the lyrics, and I'm blown away at how incredible they are.
