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.
[Chorus: R. Kelly]
Baby don't you want to leave this V.I.P
And finish off this party in my hotel suite
Girl just follow me because I got room keys
Sex, red bull, velvi we be like the
[Verse 1: Chingy]
I pulled on tha lot and then I fell up in the spot
St. Louis hat cocked tryin' to
Find somethin' hot drink in my hand hundreds in my pocket
I don't care if he ya man understand I'm yo profit
Its 3:39 we should leave by 3
We can stroll around or go get something to Eat
Outside I gotta fly drop
You hungry round ya girls up and we all can go to IHOP
You probably think I'm tryin' to cut maybe ya right
You don't do one night stands well baby tonight
I gotta presidential Suite at the Ritz everything with me ain't that a shhh,
[Chorus]
[Verse 2: Chingy]
You actin like you dont hurr me
Come nurr me quick
Bacon, and take a puff of this green from jamaica
Just bought a new yacht with 4 rooms and a bar
No you're not that used to bein around a hood star
My papa told me good girls always go fast
So if I touch her right thurr aint no need to get mad
I could take you from the club to paradise
Used to my chicks, I like them thick
Plus naughty and nice
The way you sweep me off my feet, you should be a broom
The way you smell, should of had your own perfume
So knock knock, who's there? Jackpot (that's hot)
Ran with the old head so fuck the sex
Do it tickle when I lick your neck?
Better get you wet
Lookin' at your sexy ass make me wanna write a check
[Chorus]
[Bridge: R. Kelly]
Now hold on the way you pit it on me now
Hold on I love the way you shake it now hold
On you drop it then you pick it up
Now hold on girl you got me sayin' what the (who!)
[Chorus]
Baby don't you want to leave this V.I.P
And finish off this party in my hotel suite
Girl just follow me because I got room keys
Sex, red bull, velvi we be like the
[Verse 1: Chingy]
I pulled on tha lot and then I fell up in the spot
St. Louis hat cocked tryin' to
Find somethin' hot drink in my hand hundreds in my pocket
I don't care if he ya man understand I'm yo profit
Its 3:39 we should leave by 3
We can stroll around or go get something to Eat

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
