Come to me
Light on my shoulder
Come to me
Burn your starry crown
My dark angel
I've tried, I can't get over
Cause when I think I'm climbing
I'm really so far down
Time takes a while, to break ya
And now, only fire can wake ya
Oh weeping willow
Coughing up my heart
Ask God to see my shadow
And kept us apart
Through my mind's every riot, or revelation
You've just now gone
You've just now gone, as I arrive
At every station
Come to me
Either early or late
I've learned this by habit
Now I know how to wait
Come to me
Come to me
Come to me
Light on my shoulder
Come to me
Burn your starry crown
My dark angel
I've tried, I can't get over
Cause when I think I'm climbing
I'm really so far down
Time takes a while, to break ya
And now, only fire can wake ya
Oh weeping willow
Coughing up my heart
Ask God to see my shadow
And kept us apart
Through my mind's every riot, or revelation
You've just now gone
You've just now gone, as I arrive
At every station
Come to me
Either early or late
I've learned this by habit
Now I know how to wait
Come to me
Come to me
Come to me

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.

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.

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.
a perfect duet with p j harvey.
This is by far one of the highlights of Bubblegum. The rough gravelpit voice of Mark Lanegan contrasting the soft angelic voice of PJ Harvey in this song of desperate longing is so heartwrenchingly good. The instrumentation is so delicate; the wirey buzz that echoes each vocal delivery, the faded distant strings, the bass curtaining our artists with miserable desperation. It's a crime music like this doesn't catch more of the limelight.
I have owned this album for about a year now, and never actually listened to this song until reading what people had to say about it on here, and they are right, it is so good!
This song is about two people who are both patiently waiting for the other to come to them. for one reason or another, they haven't been able to or can't be together. maybe they broke up, and neither of them can find the courage or the will to return to the other; so they'll just wait and wait and hope their lover will eventually come to them. It's a sad song but there's a quality of desperation and desire that overshadow this.
I don't see it as a couple who are broken up. I always took it as a couple who haven't been together yet as there's been obstacles in the way. It's got that sexual tension, but also a tenderness that I just love. To hear two such artists (who both have spent most of their careers on the darker end of the lyrical spectrum)sing so tenderly together is a revelation. Been listening to Bubblegum for 8 years now, it'll never lose its appeal to me!
