The sun has set beyond the western sky
And with the coming night I hear 'em cry
From the fear they were overrun
From the hurricane they were spun
The candle has lost its flame
'cause they play the final game
Out from the dust they danced apart from all
All warnings overheard until they call
The storm has turned the tides
All is changing from left to right
The gloom it came over them
Again and again
[Chorus]
As we stand here in vain we're awaiting soon
The falling twilight of midnight at noon
There's no sun to see there's only one moon
'cause it's midnight at noon
The sun has set beyond the western sky
And with the coming night I hear 'em cry
From the fear they were overrun
From the hurricane they were spun
The candle has lost its flame
'cause they play the final game
[Chorus]
And with the coming night I hear 'em cry
From the fear they were overrun
From the hurricane they were spun
The candle has lost its flame
'cause they play the final game
Out from the dust they danced apart from all
All warnings overheard until they call
The storm has turned the tides
All is changing from left to right
The gloom it came over them
Again and again
[Chorus]
As we stand here in vain we're awaiting soon
The falling twilight of midnight at noon
There's no sun to see there's only one moon
'cause it's midnight at noon
The sun has set beyond the western sky
And with the coming night I hear 'em cry
From the fear they were overrun
From the hurricane they were spun
The candle has lost its flame
'cause they play the final game
[Chorus]

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”
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.

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.
