This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
We got a lot to learn but we’re a whole lot farther a long than where we’ve been before.
And we’re all put together by the hands of God.
But it was you, the piece He used, to keep me from falling apart.
And the truth of it is that we are still just kids.
But we’ll tear the world wide open.
I drove all night; the darkness could not keep me all alone.
You’re sleeping tight but the morning sun and the streets say I’m almost home.
And the truth of it is that we are still just kids.
But we’ll tear the world wide open.
And the truth of it is that we are still just kids.
But we’ll tear the world wide open.
We keep moving forward till we’ve gone too far.
But we left our hearts way back in Arkansas.
And on the phone saying what, oh what is wrong baby.
Oh what, oh what is wrong baby oh yeah
And we’re all put together by the hands of God.
But it was you, the piece He used, to keep me from falling apart.
And the truth of it is that we are still just kids.
But we’ll tear the world wide open.
I drove all night; the darkness could not keep me all alone.
You’re sleeping tight but the morning sun and the streets say I’m almost home.
And the truth of it is that we are still just kids.
But we’ll tear the world wide open.
And the truth of it is that we are still just kids.
But we’ll tear the world wide open.
We keep moving forward till we’ve gone too far.
But we left our hearts way back in Arkansas.
And on the phone saying what, oh what is wrong baby.
Oh what, oh what is wrong baby oh yeah

This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

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”

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.
A love song, also thanking God for using his significant other to build him up.
After doing some research, I've found that the title could possibly mean Interstate 540, which runs through Arkansas, which is where the band is from. Maybe it holds special meaning for them or something.
I flipping love this song. My favorite part is the end! I agree with theonethatis. This is such an awesome song. "And we’re all put together by the hands of God. But it was you, the piece He used, to keep me from falling apart." that's how I feel for my boyfriend. ahhh
okay yes I-540 is an interstate that runs through Fayetteville, Arkansas where i just so happen to live a few miles away from so that is MOST LIKELY the reason for the name and the reference to Arkansas in the song, i see that its about a guy in love with a girl and how he is thankful she is with him and how the world says it can't be true because they are still just kids.
WOOT. goooo arkansas. I live there. and drive on I-540 every day. :DDDDDDDD yeah, this is about the [ex]lead singers wife. :/
i love this song... it's about his wife(the singer at the time) It's a really sweet song... I like how he's able to sing about God AND his wife... there are some "christian" bands who sing about nothing but their girlfriends or ex-girlfriends.... Then there are some bands that never loosen up and sing the same message in every song... The Wedding has the perfect balance...
