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”
If ever i was on one of those operation shows,
You know, the ones where people are cut open?
You would see exactly how i feel inside,
You'd see how ive been trying to hide,
You'd see the hurt and anger in my heart,
How your unfaithfulness has pulled me apart.
Remember when you'd tell me that you'd always love me?
Yeah, I was a fool and I believed that this would be,
We'd one day get married, move to southern Cali,
Have a couple children, they'd call me mommy,
Oh how i believed you, yeah i remember,
Oh how my dreams have all been shattered.
You could have at least had the decency to dump me firsy,
Dump me before fucking that 40-year old nurse.
That way we could still be friends,
Not end up never talking again,
Yeah I still love you, but I dont know why,
All that you have done is made me cry,
Why do I love you when you just pull me apart?
How can I love someone who has no heart?
These confused feelings keep running thru my mind,
Oh how i wish i could just snap your spine,
Oh that's right you dont have a backbone,
Otherwise you wouldn't have left me all alone,
You left me crying on the floor,
Curled in a ball by the bathroom door.
I hope you die,
I want you to die,
I want you to die in a horrible accident,
but i want you to suffer as much as possible,
That way you could feel all my pain,
You can feel exactly the same,
The same way i felt when all my dreams were crushed,
i hope you get hit by a speeding truck,
But the blow to your head can't be enough to kill you instantly,
You need to become a little retarded first and then you'll see,
You'll see how its like to be all by yourself,
Nobody to understand you as you sit alone in your house,
Yeah, you'll be so fucking retarded you'll forget how to eat,
You'll die slowly but surely just like the heart in me,
Then at your funeral, yeah I'll probably show my face,
But not to pay respects, no, but to spit on your grave
I hope you die
I want you to die
Are you proud of what you've done?
Are you proud i want you gone?
You ripped my heart out of my ass then left it to die in a ditch,
That's exactly what i want of you, you selfish prick bitch,
I hope you die,
I want you to die
Go to hell

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.
I Can't Go To Sleep

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
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

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.
