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.
She pulled her skirt back down
After he was done
She took a look at him
She wanted to run
Put a muck in her past
Chalked one off for Brad
He gave a kiss goodbye
She wanted him to die
Look in her eyes you can find her
Look in her eyes you can find her somewhere
Look in her eyes you can find her
Look in her eyes you can find her somewhere
Somewhere
The next day at school the rumors flew
Susan hated her name
Susan hated her fame
And you could tell from the crowd
That he felt so proud
Another memory for her to take home
Engraved in stone
Susan went home and cried
She lost something inside
Look in her eyes you can find her
Look in her eyes you can find her somewhere
Look in her eyes you can find her
Look in her eyes you can find her somewhere
Somewhere
I don't mean to kill the illusion
That I'm afraid of Susan
But I bet she had a family
And a dog and a brother
He's about three years younger
Sounds an awful lot like mine
If I remember correctly
I was 14 at the time
So I think about my younger sister
I sure am gonna miss her
As a girl naive to this world
Susan went home and cried
She lost something and died
Look in her eyes you can find her
Look in her eyes you can find her somewhere
Look in her eyes you can find her
Look in her eyes you can find her somewhere
Look in her eyes you can find her
Look in her eyes you can find her somewhere
Look in her eyes you can find her
Look in her eyes you can find her somewhere
Look in her eyes you can find her
Look in her eyes you can find her somewhere
Look in her eyes you can find her
Look in her eyes you can find her somewhere
Somewhere
After he was done
She took a look at him
She wanted to run
Put a muck in her past
Chalked one off for Brad
He gave a kiss goodbye
She wanted him to die
Look in her eyes you can find her
Look in her eyes you can find her somewhere
Look in her eyes you can find her
Look in her eyes you can find her somewhere
Somewhere
The next day at school the rumors flew
Susan hated her name
Susan hated her fame
And you could tell from the crowd
That he felt so proud
Another memory for her to take home
Engraved in stone
Susan went home and cried
She lost something inside
Look in her eyes you can find her
Look in her eyes you can find her somewhere
Look in her eyes you can find her
Look in her eyes you can find her somewhere
Somewhere
I don't mean to kill the illusion
That I'm afraid of Susan
But I bet she had a family
And a dog and a brother
He's about three years younger
Sounds an awful lot like mine
If I remember correctly
I was 14 at the time
So I think about my younger sister
I sure am gonna miss her
As a girl naive to this world
Susan went home and cried
She lost something and died
Look in her eyes you can find her
Look in her eyes you can find her somewhere
Look in her eyes you can find her
Look in her eyes you can find her somewhere
Look in her eyes you can find her
Look in her eyes you can find her somewhere
Look in her eyes you can find her
Look in her eyes you can find her somewhere
Look in her eyes you can find her
Look in her eyes you can find her somewhere
Look in her eyes you can find her
Look in her eyes you can find her somewhere
Somewhere

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
Radiohead
Radiohead
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.
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield

I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
American Town

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.
