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”
[Lil' Zane]
Yeah, Next, uh Lil' Zane
Come on drop the top, let cha' hair fly
It's a clear sky tonight baby
Uh, let me know what's on ya mind
[Tweety]
It's Saturday, get the car shined up
Hair cut lined up, Heaven made my mind up
Professed one side of it tied up, won't see me there
I wonder how she wears her hair
If I see her I swear
I'm gonna put the game down like you
[Chorus: Next]
I'm just looking for love
I've been looking all over the club
Fresh Nikes, jeans cuffed, pressed in Sean John
Trying to find someone, someone for me
[R.L.]
I just tipped valet
Got in line through the metal detectors, stormin' days
Movin' to the sound of the DJ hoping she'll come my way
Is it the girl with the bomb weave, standin' next to me
Or is it the one with the short waves
A few are stepping but I ain't checking cause
[Chorus]
[Lil' Zane]
I switch lanes when I hoop game
Bet I score the same when I shoot game
I promise baby that I change whe the loop came
I'm off to bigger, better things with my new thang
No strings attached I'm on my two-way
Hopin' that our beams'll match
Gotta see you later baby, I'm a fiend for that
Wide body Navigator but my screens are flat
Now we watchin' motion pictures sittin' right in the track
Wanna honey dip, not interested in spendin' money
But how the money flip
She ain't concerned when I earn, she make money chips
I lit the fire place, baby gave me fine face
Tell me what cha' want but shorty I'm not Mase
I'm known for drillin' in a hole like I'm I-A
Fast as a speedin' bullet on the highway
Hopin' that I'm not late
And I ain't worried bout a ticket cause I got cake
Baby I'm lookin' for love
[Chorus repeated to fade; with Next & Lil' Zane ad-libs]

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.

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.
