Stranger than fiction
I heard the mouth of the young girl say
Stranger than fiction
Wakin up everyday
Talk to Atlanta
By the way of the Great Divide
Back to California
Seattle if we got the time
Great Wall of China
Will the end I reach one day?
Stranger than the fiction
I heard the _______ say
Stranger than fiction
I heard the mouth of the young girl say
Stranger than fiction
Wakin up everyday
Two days to Boseman
Enough truckers, they don't make time fly
I ain't opposin'
We'll be in Austin in half the time
Keep your hands and toes in
Doin 90 the entire way
Stranger than fiction
To _____ away (?)
Stranger than fiction
I heard the mouth of the young girl say
Stranger than fiction
Wakin up everyday
Stranger than fiction
I heard the mouth of the young girl say
Waking up everyday
Stranger than fiction
I heard the mouth of the young girl say
Stranger than fiction
Wakin up everyday
Las Vegas, Nevada
Ain't no place we outta be
When your luck is golden
You're the center of gravity
___ of Shanola (?)
Just hang of left ...
Stranger than fiction
It's the way it will always be
I heard the mouth of the young girl say
Stranger than fiction

Great Wall of China

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
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.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
Some corrections: 1) fifth line of 1st verse is "TREK to Atlanta 2) 10th line of verse 1: "we'll be in and outta reach in one day" 3) last line of first verse is "i heard the Chairman Mao say" 4) sixth line of 2nd verse is "enough trucker speed'll make time fly" 3) after all these years, i still haven't figured out the last line of verse 2 4) lines 9&10 of the final verse: "shit or shinola it's (just?) the angle at which we see" So, there you have it...til next time, sayonara
song sounds like it's about the strange things you see on the road
