For all those who wanna analyze me
For all those who wanna analyze me
It starts off in the hips
Move to the lips
For all those who wanna analyze me

My mother committed suicide when I was four or five
I love Mike O, was killed by a psycho
But I'm not sad or sorry

'Cause we be tomorrow
'Cause we be tomorrow
For all those who wanna analyze me
For all those who wanna analyze me

My mother committed suicide when I was four or five
I love Mike O, was killed by a psycho
But I'm not sad or sorry

'Cause we be tomorrow
Next month, next week
I guess I'm weak
I guess I'm weak
But I'm not sad or sorry

'Cause we be tomorrow
Suicide when I was four or five
Mike-O killed by a psycho
Sad or sorry, I be tomorrow
For all those who wanna analyze me

Starts off in the hips
Move to my lips
Starts off in the hips
Move to my lips

Train passes where they prosecute
So be careful where you tread
It's a land mine baby
Don't go losing your head

Just remember our love
So you won't give up
If you remember our love
So you won't give up

Long gone are the proper sleeves
To walk by our side
Long killed are the visionary souls
Now we're walking blind

The lies are meant to hypnotize
And put you in a spell
Wake up you sleepy heads

Release yourselves from hell
You won't give up
You can't give up

They made us drink salt water
Then sell us liberty
Tell me how can you sell somebody
What's supposed to be free
You know the non-contender for the derelict mind

You starved us baby
And you're gonna shine
You starved us baby
And you're gonna shine
You starved us baby

Fuck creation, fuck creation
Fuck creation, there is no relevance with my life
All I mean is how to fight
Producing the goods I'm fit to make sense

Built with more right
Especially a thing, self-defense
A wasted office in my mind
All the time I've been blind

Race an objective difficult at times
Don't know what to do
Name your Baby Namboo
Mine's far and away the rest is up to you

Politicians are destroying
The dreams of the many
One can inform our country
So they don't spend a penny

Less than our future
On some posh adventure
Driving along Concord Lane
They're looking for adventure

Pick out the homes and count the best bids
Pick out the homes and count the best bids
There's only so much to go around
And they took the life

It's not what you're savin'
It's how much you got
Pick out the homes and count the best bids
Hunt the homes and pick out the best bids

You're on his high and you won't give up
Your tongue is torn and you won't give up
Your back is broke and you won't give up
You're all alone but you're so tough

You won't give up, you won't give up
You starved us baby and you cannot shine
You starved us, baby

Silent Planet
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
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.

American Town
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.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
