In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
It's party time! Woooahh, it's party time!
Havin' a party, c'mon
Yeah yeah, Tray Lee nigga, ByStorm (ByStorm)
Ain't no mystery (hah, ByStorm)
Rnf to death (hah, ByStorm)
We just one step beyond (RNF no doubt), hey, hey
Yeah (check it out), check it out (c'mon, ah-hah)
Check it out (c'mon, ah-hah) check it out (c'mon, ah-hah)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
And everywhere that my crew go
And every hoe that my crew know
And every show that my crew blow
You know we get down, you know we get down
Hey this is how we get down with no question
Trees in the V.I.p. Section, Big Sun sippin' on French Connections
Dashin', decked in the latest fashions
Flashin', niggaz spendin' tax free cash, ten G stash
Son leavin' the club scene smashed, hah
Ass in abundance, run with a sick type
Click with mics get in your shit life
So better make sure your shit's tight
When I bomb, shit is worldwide like dot.Com
Known to rock swarms, get up in that ass like
Dong Strongarm in the place at alarming rates
Got a fifth and that's all it takes
For me to flip won't slip
Try to front on and get your fronts chipped
Runnin' chicks home in plush whips, get a duck sick
Let it be known we got a song that don't quit
And every hoe that my crew know
Like Tonya, Michelle, and Nicky
And every show that my crew blow
Like the Apollo, or BET
And everywhere that my crew go
Like Philly, New York, or DC
You know we get down, you know we get down
Yeah this is how we get down with no question
Run up in a chicken's midsection, boom I rock on
From marathons to quick sessions
Menage-a-trois, killin' your whole crew
With at least sixteen bars like MC's supposed to
A real MC, take you, to School like D
I'm cool like G, in Rap, I use the mic, to rule like a Pharaoh
Dipped in my Nike apparel, you know we get down
Bad to the bone like marrow chicks
Crack your boom, Tray gets played from the plat the greatest tune
Philly's in here, been here, lyrics they win here
Why did you go there? I swear
Rnf tears the things like that
We breakin' your team up like a salary cap, and it don't stop
Until I get the cream like Shaq
Seventeen mil annual, flammable
And every hoe that my crew know
Like Tasha, Yvette, or Sha-See
And every show that my crew blow
Like the Palladium or MTV
And everywhere that my crew go
Like Atlanta, LA, or Jersey
You know we get down, you know we get down
It's party time
Oh yeah, it's party time, havin' a party, c'mon
It's party time
Oh yeah, it's party time, havin' a party, c'mon
So with no question, hey, lyrics get etched in
Stone destined to be, y'all niggaz jonesin'
A threat when, in the zone get protection
Duke the best in, my profession
When I ride loops like a stretch Benz, heads get laced
D-dot keep the chrome cocked, just in case
Tracey Lee rocks son I'm chosen
Whenever we got this party scene live it's frozen
Whoa, time to close in on those who be dozen
Not tryin' to hear it, without wine and spirit
Shows continue to blow the venue
With flows that's sicked than influenza
Roll with a squad that injures pretenders
I'm pullin' your card, so surrender
Bombard your agenda, at last RNF stash
With more pitch slaughterin', so we be the new world order in
And everywhere that my crew go
And every hoe that my crew know
And every show that my crew blow
You know we get down, you know we get down
And everywhere that my crew go
And every hoe that my crew know
And every show that my crew blow
You know we get down, you know we get down
Havin' a party, c'mon
Yeah yeah, Tray Lee nigga, ByStorm (ByStorm)
Ain't no mystery (hah, ByStorm)
Rnf to death (hah, ByStorm)
We just one step beyond (RNF no doubt), hey, hey
Yeah (check it out), check it out (c'mon, ah-hah)
Check it out (c'mon, ah-hah) check it out (c'mon, ah-hah)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
And everywhere that my crew go
And every hoe that my crew know
And every show that my crew blow
You know we get down, you know we get down
Hey this is how we get down with no question

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”

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” 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.
