This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
They found his head splashed, caught him by the side of the buildin'
He had a mask on, 4-5, 'Why did you kill him?'
It was supposed to happen, click the shit back (clack, clack clack)
This is the deal, you get on the floor, lay in the grass
Had me handcuffed, take two puffs of the kush
I see you out here, your name's real, can't let you get touched
He had a team, Japanese fiends, all of 'em creamed down
Cheeba lit, blood on his Adidas was thick (oh, shit)
One second homie, walked over, weapon was bony
Long-nosed joint, hold him
Grabbed the nigga head, broke his Rolly
Where the blow, shorty?
Shorty start smilin', y'all niggas is puss
Yo Lex, these niggas ain't vets, they gush
Chunk of meat flew off his cheekbone, broken teeth
Had a hole in his 'Lo shirt and took all his weed
Untied him he fell legs weak and son wouldn't tell, now it gets deep
Son start fallin' asleep, they woke him back up
Smacked him wit the Mac, where your slut?
I heard you copped a new Beamer and them glasses is rough (where your bitch, man?)
They was the ferla joints, 18 karats, bought 'em right in Brazil
He had to steal on him, niggas went savage
The hat him spread out, T-position, opened his jeans up
Shot him in the leg bone, he rose up like King Tut
Still riffin', this wop for real? My niggas still get it
All of us yellin' he ill wit it
Mouth bloody, muddy Gucci joints on, them shits was 900
Couldn't wait to kill him, his sons wanted it
Champion hoodie was gone, they broke his neck in like 5 places
Pushed him down the railin' and skinned his face
He had a mask on, 4-5, 'Why did you kill him?'
It was supposed to happen, click the shit back (clack, clack clack)
This is the deal, you get on the floor, lay in the grass
Had me handcuffed, take two puffs of the kush
I see you out here, your name's real, can't let you get touched
He had a team, Japanese fiends, all of 'em creamed down
Cheeba lit, blood on his Adidas was thick (oh, shit)
One second homie, walked over, weapon was bony
Long-nosed joint, hold him
Grabbed the nigga head, broke his Rolly
Where the blow, shorty?
Shorty start smilin', y'all niggas is puss
Yo Lex, these niggas ain't vets, they gush
Chunk of meat flew off his cheekbone, broken teeth
Had a hole in his 'Lo shirt and took all his weed
Untied him he fell legs weak and son wouldn't tell, now it gets deep
Son start fallin' asleep, they woke him back up
Smacked him wit the Mac, where your slut?
I heard you copped a new Beamer and them glasses is rough (where your bitch, man?)
They was the ferla joints, 18 karats, bought 'em right in Brazil
He had to steal on him, niggas went savage
The hat him spread out, T-position, opened his jeans up

Still riffin', this wop for real? My niggas still get it
All of us yellin' he ill wit it
Mouth bloody, muddy Gucci joints on, them shits was 900
Couldn't wait to kill him, his sons wanted it
Champion hoodie was gone, they broke his neck in like 5 places
Pushed him down the railin' and skinned his face

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.
Magical

Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
