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.
There's a notebook on the table, you can take it to the store
So you won't forget the groceries anymore
There's a rifle in the cabinet that I used to fight a war
But to this day, I don't know what I was fighting for
I'm fighting for
Will you show me love as we get older and I'm falling at your feet?
After thirty years of service and the wounds of it are me
Show me love as we grow colder, let our love provide the heat
That our older bones are missing, but our hearts will never need
There's a blanket on the sofa that I used to keep you warm
When I find you fast asleep at half past four
There's a record we keep turning that reminds us of our youth
But there's still nothing as beautiful as you
Will you show me love as we get older and I'm falling at your feet?
After thirty years of service and the wounds of it are me
Show me love as we grow colder, let our love provide the heat
That our older bones are missing, but our hearts will never need
(As we grow colder, love provide the heat)
(Older bones are missing, hearts will never need)
Because your hand belongs in my hand
Belongs in your hand, belongs with, with me
(Blanket on the sofa that I used to keep you warm)
(There's a record we keep turning that I used to turn you on)
Will you show me love as we get older and I'm falling at your feet?
After thirty years of service and the wounds of it are me
Show me love as we grow colder, let our love provide the heat
That our older bones are missing, but our hearts will never need
So you won't forget the groceries anymore
There's a rifle in the cabinet that I used to fight a war
But to this day, I don't know what I was fighting for
I'm fighting for
Will you show me love as we get older and I'm falling at your feet?
After thirty years of service and the wounds of it are me
Show me love as we grow colder, let our love provide the heat
That our older bones are missing, but our hearts will never need
There's a blanket on the sofa that I used to keep you warm
When I find you fast asleep at half past four
There's a record we keep turning that reminds us of our youth
But there's still nothing as beautiful as you
Will you show me love as we get older and I'm falling at your feet?
After thirty years of service and the wounds of it are me
Show me love as we grow colder, let our love provide the heat
That our older bones are missing, but our hearts will never need
(As we grow colder, love provide the heat)
(Older bones are missing, hearts will never need)
Because your hand belongs in my hand
Belongs in your hand, belongs with, with me
(Blanket on the sofa that I used to keep you warm)
(There's a record we keep turning that I used to turn you on)
Will you show me love as we get older and I'm falling at your feet?
After thirty years of service and the wounds of it are me
Show me love as we grow colder, let our love provide the heat
That our older bones are missing, but our hearts will never need

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
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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.
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.
I used to have this but i deleted it buecause the sexualness of the lyrics freaked me out at the time. Now i've seen this and remembered it, I might try and find it again. I really like the lyrics to the second verse. Plus it's a cool tune.
