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”
Another time another place
I might have had a smile on my face
this could have been such a beautiful thing
but now it's just a fucking waste of time
We've said what had to be said
the issue's discussed already dead
We're clinging to something
what we"don't know
It's about time we just let go
What's the point, why do we bother
just to try and hurt each other
or to try and save part of what was there
put on an act pretend like we care
avoiding the outcome we both know
cut the shit and just let go
All this back and forth
cheap shots no remorse
no chance wounds to mend
when is this all gonna end
All i ever wanted was some fucking peace
I might have had a smile on my face
this could have been such a beautiful thing
but now it's just a fucking waste of time
We've said what had to be said
the issue's discussed already dead
We're clinging to something
what we"don't know
It's about time we just let go
What's the point, why do we bother
just to try and hurt each other
or to try and save part of what was there
put on an act pretend like we care
avoiding the outcome we both know
cut the shit and just let go
All this back and forth
cheap shots no remorse
no chance wounds to mend
when is this all gonna end
All i ever wanted was some fucking peace

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.

Punchline

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.
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.
Too much refreshing. Its an alright song..the use of "fuck" is unnecessary.
yea def. another case of someone going refresh happy but Sick of it all is totally amazing so might as well say this song is good
amazing.
incredible
kooliio but i agree the word is unnecessary
fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck
this song is really good
Fuck me up mi ass... I was looking at the top 5 lyrics, and i saw avil levin was number 2, thats just sad. then i was like YAY hardcore band #4... =) made mi day.
Too much of the word "fuck"? ... umm... ok is all i can say i guess... Sick of it All is an amazing hardcore band... saw them a year ago with Poison the Well and it was just an incrediable show... anyway, this song could be about two things... 1: it's a relationship gone bad and he just feels that it's time to let go of what's happening and move on... he doesn't want to be hurt anymore, or even hurt the other person anymore... 2: it could be about someone that was close to him that died... i know that's a long stretch, but if you read into the lyrics a little more, it just seems like it could be that way...

The song is shit. The lyrics are pretty damn good though. Good point of view, everyone knows it's true
