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”
Wash your dirty mouth
Your dirty mouth
Watch your little mouth
Wash your dirty mouth
Your dirty mouth
Watch your little mouth
I don't want to wait anymore
Wake up cinnamon
They can't get in and that's them at the door,
'Cause checkout time is noon and pretty soon it's a quarter to four
I don't want to wait anymore
Wash your dirty mouth
Your dirty mouth
Watch your little mouth 'cause you taste like you're already gone
Small town girls and boys make too much noise so I keep to myself
But acting tough is rough - enough is enough - I feel like hell
Tied up in London, you came undone with a two handed tug
With pieces of a phone, thrown at the door, spread out on the rug
I don't want to wait anymore
Wash your dirty mouth
Your dirty mouth
Watch your little mouth 'cause you taste like you're already gone
Wash your dirty mouth
Your dirty mouth
Watch your little mouth 'cause you taste like you're already gone
I gotta say I cannot wait
Not even one more night or day
Why don't you fly and get away
And end this awful holiday
Come and play, come and stay, and end this awful holiday
I gotta say I cannot wait
Not even one more night or day
Why don't you fly and get away and end this awful holiday
Wash your dirty mouth
Your dirty mouth
Watch your little mouth 'cause you taste like you're already gone
Wash your dirty mouth
Your dirty mouth
Watch your little mouth 'cause you taste like you're already gone
Your dirty mouth
Watch your little mouth
Wash your dirty mouth
Your dirty mouth
Watch your little mouth
I don't want to wait anymore
Wake up cinnamon
They can't get in and that's them at the door,
'Cause checkout time is noon and pretty soon it's a quarter to four
I don't want to wait anymore
Wash your dirty mouth
Your dirty mouth
Watch your little mouth 'cause you taste like you're already gone
Small town girls and boys make too much noise so I keep to myself
But acting tough is rough - enough is enough - I feel like hell
Tied up in London, you came undone with a two handed tug
With pieces of a phone, thrown at the door, spread out on the rug
I don't want to wait anymore
Wash your dirty mouth
Your dirty mouth
Watch your little mouth 'cause you taste like you're already gone
Wash your dirty mouth
Your dirty mouth
Watch your little mouth 'cause you taste like you're already gone
I gotta say I cannot wait
Not even one more night or day
Why don't you fly and get away
And end this awful holiday
Come and play, come and stay, and end this awful holiday
I gotta say I cannot wait
Not even one more night or day
Why don't you fly and get away and end this awful holiday
Wash your dirty mouth
Your dirty mouth
Watch your little mouth 'cause you taste like you're already gone
Wash your dirty mouth
Your dirty mouth
Watch your little mouth 'cause you taste like you're already gone

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.
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield

I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
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.
Alright, this interpretation is a little weird, but bear with me: Generally, I think the guy is the "other man" in an affair, and he wishes the woman would end it with her boyfriend/husband. "Wash your dirty mouth" to me means he can almost taste the other man's kisses when he kisses her himself. The lines from "Wake up Cinnamon..." to "... quarter to four" I believe show them having to always go to secret locations (e.g. hotels) to have their affair. The "small town girls and boys" line could refer to him having to keep the relationship a secret from his friends as well, out of fear rumors may spread and the relationship may be discovered. "But acting tough is rough, enough is enough - I feel like hell" is pretty self-explanatory, that he has to hide his emotions from everyone despite his anguish "Tied up in London" could portray her husband (most likely) as wealthy, but the "two handed tug" and "pieces of a phone" could suggest fighting or abuse within the relationship she has with her husband. "I gotta say I cannot wait" is just reiterating that he wants her to finally end it with the husband. "End this awful holiday" seems to be irony, classifying this affair as awful instead of enjoyable. He wants to be the only man in her life, not the other man. Thank you.
It just makes me think that he's made at some girl for having such a dirty mouth.
Sounds like girlfriend needs a tooth brush!
I think he is kissing her goodbye, he knows he's not goona see her anymore. And while kissing her, he can almost feel this bitter taste of departure.
I agree with colibri213 interpretation.
