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.
Oh, you broke my heart
I told you I was weak for love
but then you went around
And did what you wanted to do
And now I'm crying crying
Uh, seemed like everything was going fine
I found a love that I thought was gonna last
Then I accidentally saw few things in your cell
I even LOL'ed, man I should've known
Why, why you're doing what you do
You, you might as well just tell the honest truth
See I'm not really down with this
This ain't no texting shit
No I ain't got no biz, but it is what it is
I don't really have much to say
I was over it the second that I saw her name
I got two letters for you
One of them is F
And the other one is U
'Cause what you gotta do
Is go get yourself a clue
Only two letters to choose
One of them is F
And the other one's U
SMH I brushed a sin on you
Coulda been this
Coulda been that
We don't bend up
We don't bend back
Coulda said this
Coulda said that
Why you trippin'?
Let me hear that
I ain't tryna argue no more
I do it all for you
You know you're my rider
Baby let me show you
I know what's been going on
Don't even try to act like Mr. Super Nonchalant
What makes you think I'd stick around
I'm not as stupid as you sound
And you sound really dumb right now
From A to Z
I got a lot of nasty things
Floating up in my head
But none of them are worth my time
You're not even worth this rhyme
And I don't, I don't give a flying
I don't really have much to say
I was over it the second that I saw her name
I got two letters for you
One of them is F
And the other one is U
'Cause what you gotta do
Is go get yourself a clue
Only two letters to choose
One of them is F
And the other one's U
SMH I brushed a sin on you
Two letters for you
What you trippin' on
Girl you know you're wrong
Don't let these girls drive you crazy
I don't really have much to say
I was over it the second that I saw her name
I got two letters for you
One of them is F
And the other one is U
'Cause what you gotta do
Is go get yourself a clue
Only two letters to choose
One of them is F
And the other one's U
SMH I brushed a sin on you
I told you I was weak for love
but then you went around
And did what you wanted to do
And now I'm crying crying
Uh, seemed like everything was going fine
I found a love that I thought was gonna last
Then I accidentally saw few things in your cell
I even LOL'ed, man I should've known
Why, why you're doing what you do

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.

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,

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.

Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
What I think this song is about possibly when Liam was cheating on her. She saw stuff on his cell and with who and she doesn't care shes saying FUCK YOU! <3
