This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Hey dudes are you ready to
Understand why some of your friends are true.
These ones that would follow you
Anywhere and through anything you’d do.
Revelation of a friendship on your tattoos,
A salvation…
And you need them by your side
To feel stronger, to get better.
Friendship never ends if you trust in your tribe,
Stay forever with your brothers.
They will never let you down.
Hey dudes are you ready to
Defend your mates in case they need you.
One mind leads you and your crew.
This kind of friendship makes you
Feel the real power.
You can do anything with your brothers.
No trouble anymore
And you need them by your side
To feel stronger, to get better.
Friendship never ends if you trust in your tribe,
Stay forever with your brothers.
Can you imagine,
Everything you can do with your team.
You have never felt so strong,
All your guys sing along
A melody that means everything to you and to me.
Your mates sing the same song,
THESE ARE MY, FRIENDS!

And trust you until the end,

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.

Page

Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
I really don't think this song even NEEDS explaining.
It's a great track though.
