This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
How high a mountain must I climb ,
To reach for air ,
To breath the air so clear so pure ,
Could blow my mind ,
In my mind there is a place ,
For everyone for every taste ,
But in this life reality can shoot you dead ,
For the colour of your face ,
We can't run and hide as hard as we try ,
We can't all believe in the lord on high ,
Bur it's our love that stops us crying ,
We can't change the fact we are born to die ,
We can't all profess to know how or why ,
But keep on reaching don't stop trying ,
I've seen a poison river flow ,
A land where nothing grows ,
I've watching the man of fascist mind ,
Kill in the name of love ,
The futile war the human crime ,
The sacred scream just biding time ,
And who are we to take in vain ,
This precious world I'm full of shame ,
We can't run and hide as hard as we try ,
We can't all believe in the lord on high ,
Bur it's our love that stops us crying ,
We can't change the fact we are born to die ,
We can't all profess to know how or why ,
But keep on reaching don't stop trying ,
If the dreams gone wrong let your heart be strong ,
If the dreams gone wrong , don't let hope fade away ,
And who are we to take in vain ,
The precious world I'm full of shame ,
We can't run and hide as hard as we try ,
We can't all believe in the lord on high ,
Bur it's our love that stops us crying ,
We can't change the fact we are born to die ,
We can't all profess to know how or why ,
But keep on reaching don't stop trying.
To reach for air ,
To breath the air so clear so pure ,
Could blow my mind ,
In my mind there is a place ,
For everyone for every taste ,
But in this life reality can shoot you dead ,
For the colour of your face ,
We can't run and hide as hard as we try ,
We can't all believe in the lord on high ,
Bur it's our love that stops us crying ,
We can't change the fact we are born to die ,
We can't all profess to know how or why ,
But keep on reaching don't stop trying ,
I've seen a poison river flow ,
A land where nothing grows ,
I've watching the man of fascist mind ,
Kill in the name of love ,
The futile war the human crime ,
The sacred scream just biding time ,
And who are we to take in vain ,
This precious world I'm full of shame ,
We can't run and hide as hard as we try ,
We can't all believe in the lord on high ,
Bur it's our love that stops us crying ,
We can't change the fact we are born to die ,
We can't all profess to know how or why ,
But keep on reaching don't stop trying ,
If the dreams gone wrong let your heart be strong ,
If the dreams gone wrong , don't let hope fade away ,
And who are we to take in vain ,
The precious world I'm full of shame ,
We can't run and hide as hard as we try ,
We can't all believe in the lord on high ,
Bur it's our love that stops us crying ,
We can't change the fact we are born to die ,
We can't all profess to know how or why ,
But keep on reaching don't stop trying.

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.

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
