This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
How you stole my gaze on the first day,
You were everywhere like a Subway
At the summer's end when things start to fade and die
On the second day we saw shooting stars on the arm of a tattooed boy
By the afternoon we were starry too - starry dizzy from the things we saw
Suddenly you're not mine
Suddenly we're into winter
Well did you always know I'd never be right?
You've taken your time to put on the brakelight
What if the days draw in and you haven't found your one?
Will you come back and see if I could be someone?
We had sunny spells and occasional rain, you were overcast throughout
We had BAH BAH BAH DOO WAH! You wanted la de da de, la de da da
Suddenly there's bad times and I have to pull the bunting down
Good thing there's no time to make a song and dance
Well did you always know I'd never be right?
You've taken your time to put on the brakelight
What if the days draw in and you still haven't found your one?
Will you come back and see if I could be someone?
You were everywhere like a Subway
At the summer's end when things start to fade and die
On the second day we saw shooting stars on the arm of a tattooed boy
By the afternoon we were starry too - starry dizzy from the things we saw
Suddenly you're not mine
Suddenly we're into winter
Well did you always know I'd never be right?
You've taken your time to put on the brakelight
What if the days draw in and you haven't found your one?
Will you come back and see if I could be someone?
We had sunny spells and occasional rain, you were overcast throughout
We had BAH BAH BAH DOO WAH! You wanted la de da de, la de da da
Suddenly there's bad times and I have to pull the bunting down
Good thing there's no time to make a song and dance
Well did you always know I'd never be right?
You've taken your time to put on the brakelight
What if the days draw in and you still haven't found your one?
Will you come back and see if I could be someone?

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.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
