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”
Mystery, the moon
A hole in the sky
A supernatural nightlight
So full, but often right
A pair of eyes a closin' one
A chosen child of golden sun
A marble dog that chases cars
To farthest reaches of the beach and far beyond into the swimming sea of stars
The cosmic fish they love to kiss
They're giving birth to constellations
No riffs and oh, no reservation
If they should fall, you'd get a wish or dedication
May I suggest you get the best
For nothing less than you and I?
Let's take a chance as this romance is rising over, before we lose the lighting
Oh bella, bella, please
Bella, you beautiful Luna
Oh bella, do what you do
You are an illuminating anchor
Of leads to infinite number
Or crashing waves and breaking thunder
Tiding the even flows of hunger
You're dancing naked there for me
You expose all memory
You make the most of boundary
You're the ghost of royalty imposing love
You are the queen and king combining everything
Intertwining like a ring around the finger of a girl
I'm just a singer, you're the world
All I can bring you
Is the language of a lover
Bella Luna, my beautiful, beautiful moon
How you swoon me like no other, oh-oh
May I suggest you get the best
Of your wish, may I insist
That no contest for little you or smaller I?
A larger chance had, but all them, they lie
On the rise, on the brink of our lives
Bella, please
Bella, you beautiful Luna
Oh bella, do what you do
Bella Luna, my beautiful, beautiful moon
How you swoon me like no other, oh oh oh
A hole in the sky
A supernatural nightlight
So full, but often right
A pair of eyes a closin' one
A chosen child of golden sun
A marble dog that chases cars
To farthest reaches of the beach and far beyond into the swimming sea of stars
The cosmic fish they love to kiss
They're giving birth to constellations
No riffs and oh, no reservation
If they should fall, you'd get a wish or dedication
May I suggest you get the best
For nothing less than you and I?
Let's take a chance as this romance is rising over, before we lose the lighting
Oh bella, bella, please
Bella, you beautiful Luna
Oh bella, do what you do
You are an illuminating anchor
Of leads to infinite number
Or crashing waves and breaking thunder
Tiding the even flows of hunger
You're dancing naked there for me
You expose all memory
You make the most of boundary
You're the ghost of royalty imposing love
You are the queen and king combining everything
Intertwining like a ring around the finger of a girl
I'm just a singer, you're the world
All I can bring you
Is the language of a lover
Bella Luna, my beautiful, beautiful moon
How you swoon me like no other, oh-oh
May I suggest you get the best
Of your wish, may I insist
That no contest for little you or smaller I?
A larger chance had, but all them, they lie
On the rise, on the brink of our lives
Bella, please
Bella, you beautiful Luna
Oh bella, do what you do
Bella Luna, my beautiful, beautiful moon
How you swoon me like no other, oh oh oh

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
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.
Head > Heels

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
The way Jason sings this song is so entrancing. It's such a relaxing song about the blissful things in life. I would make love listening to this all day long.
