This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
I saw you the other day
it was your voice that gave you away
you were smiling with a tear in your eye
it was if you had learned to fly
so I wandered your direction
avoiding your detection
searching for words to say
as I remembered the day
they took you away
your blood stained the sky
on the 5th of July
you came to me
but that was the last time
the words you spoke to me
I still hear them in my sleep
I miss my brother
my father and mother
the loneliness stings
and I don't need these wings
I just want to sing
You were taken too soon
always think we've seen the end
then they take another friend
You were taken too soon
I wish that I could make amends
I'll never be the same again
He left behind a family
an empty bag of pills
memories to cherish
and a void that can't be filled
stripped of the progress he made
the man he became
it was your voice that gave you away
you were smiling with a tear in your eye
it was if you had learned to fly
so I wandered your direction
avoiding your detection
searching for words to say
as I remembered the day
they took you away
your blood stained the sky
on the 5th of July
you came to me
but that was the last time
the words you spoke to me
I still hear them in my sleep
I miss my brother
my father and mother
the loneliness stings
and I don't need these wings
I just want to sing
You were taken too soon
always think we've seen the end
then they take another friend
You were taken too soon
I wish that I could make amends
I'll never be the same again
He left behind a family
an empty bag of pills
memories to cherish
and a void that can't be filled
stripped of the progress he made
the man he became

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.
Magical

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.
