Ridin' along in my automobile
My baby beside me at the wheel
I stole a kiss at the turn of a mile
My curiosity runnin' wild
Crusin' and playin' the radio
With no particular place to go
Ridin' along in my automobile
I's anxious to tell her the way I feel
So I told her softly and sincere
And she leaned and whispered in my ear
Cuddlin' more and drivin' slow
With no particular place to go
No particular place to go
So we parked way out on the Kokomo
The night was young and the moon was gold
So we both decided to take a stroll
Can you image the way I felt
I couldn't unfasten her safety belt
Ridin' along in my calaboose
Still tryna get her belt a-loose
All the way home I held a grudge
For the safety belt that wouldn't budge
Crusin' and playin' the radio
With no particular place to go
My baby beside me at the wheel
I stole a kiss at the turn of a mile
My curiosity runnin' wild
Crusin' and playin' the radio
With no particular place to go
Ridin' along in my automobile
I's anxious to tell her the way I feel
So I told her softly and sincere
And she leaned and whispered in my ear
Cuddlin' more and drivin' slow
With no particular place to go
No particular place to go
So we parked way out on the Kokomo
The night was young and the moon was gold
So we both decided to take a stroll
Can you image the way I felt
I couldn't unfasten her safety belt
Ridin' along in my calaboose
Still tryna get her belt a-loose
All the way home I held a grudge
For the safety belt that wouldn't budge
Crusin' and playin' the radio
With no particular place to go

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

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.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
This may just be me and my dirty mind, but I think the "safety belt" is a double entendre/double meaning.
I think it's about a guy who tries to score with his girl but she thinks it over and backs off. Think about it: what do you do when you have "No particular place to go"?
"I stole a kiss at the turn of a mile/my curiosity running wild" - the first verse tells us his intentions, especially this part.
The second verse is when he begins to make suggestions while they're "Cuddlin'more and drivin' slow", which suggests that things are steaming up. "She leaned and whispered in my ear" tells us that the girl was for it at first.
The clincher comes in verse 3: what happens when you park the car? And to "take a stroll" is much less innocent if you read into it. And the girl backs down from going all the way because he "couldn't unfasten her safety belt".
When I listen to the song, I listen to the tone and emphasis on the fourth verse - the joke's out and Chuck knows it, and he's really belting out the last verse about a very awkward ride home.
sounds to me like they wanted to take a walk but her seatbelt was stuck
what a song. :P
just a little story of chuck and his girl at the time just driving around. pretty straight forward; cruisin' around, no particular place to go, just him and her
I feel like Chuck was out for a romantic evening with his girl and, as the song says, when he went to make his move he couldn't get her seatbelt off. I don't think it's a double entendre at all, just a poor guy goofing up on his date. And, doesn't calaboose mean Jail?
This song is sooooo random! I mean what kind of person writes a song with the words "safety belt" in it? But I like it anyways.
I think its about him driving his girl out somewhere so they can make out. the line about taking a 'stroll' is about that. the safety belt could be the actual safety belt or if your feeling dirty her bra ;-). the point is that she's stuck or rather he cant get to her if you know what I mean. Then he's mad at the safety belt for being stuck. I think the line 'all the way home I held a grudge for the safety belt that wouldnt budge' is genuis and it cracks me up everytime I hear it. The last time he says 'with no particular place to go' it has added meaning because the 'place' is more sexual. Its a very funny song thats kind of dirty/funny and sweet at the same time. I think its a beauftiful piece of work. His ryhming/meter is world class.
The 1 point no one seems to catch is he sings: "So we both decided to take a stroll" meaning they left the car, so obviously her "safety belt" is not a "seat belt."
