This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Give me a reason
I'm on my knees and
I'm betting anything will keep me alive
I'm treading water
your mind is stronger
I'm faking anything that I can't define
You're broken hearts gone
And now your all alone
You're giving everything and now you'll break mine
I'm saying sorry
The words are nothing
Your voice is poison
And it gets worse
In time [x6]
This is out of control
We are still locked down today
We keep playing along
With intentions
What intentions?
It's like a bad dream, another story
That's running circles in the back of my mind
See now it's ok to give me nothing
'Cause I was using you so I could get mine
You know I wanted to see only you
But you were trying just to keep me away
We're realizing, We're patronizing
So now its over but the past it remains
In time [x6]
This is out of control
We are still locked down today
We keep playing along
With intentions
This is out of control
We are still locked down today
We keep playing along
With intentions
What intentions?
These imperfections make it hurt
And you're far away now but I know you're coming home
This is out of control
We can't make it on our own
We keep playing along just to leave us more alone
This is out of control
This happy ending's getting old
But we're playing along
With intentions
This is out of control
We are still locked down today
We keep playing along
With intentions
This is out of control
We are still locked down today
We keep playing along
With intentions
What intentions?
I'm on my knees and
I'm betting anything will keep me alive
I'm treading water
your mind is stronger
I'm faking anything that I can't define
You're broken hearts gone
And now your all alone
You're giving everything and now you'll break mine
I'm saying sorry
The words are nothing
Your voice is poison
And it gets worse
In time [x6]
This is out of control
We are still locked down today
We keep playing along
With intentions
What intentions?
It's like a bad dream, another story
That's running circles in the back of my mind
See now it's ok to give me nothing
'Cause I was using you so I could get mine
You know I wanted to see only you
But you were trying just to keep me away
We're realizing, We're patronizing
So now its over but the past it remains
In time [x6]
This is out of control
We are still locked down today
We keep playing along
With intentions
This is out of control
We are still locked down today
We keep playing along
With intentions
What intentions?
These imperfections make it hurt
And you're far away now but I know you're coming home
This is out of control
We can't make it on our own
We keep playing along just to leave us more alone
This is out of control
This happy ending's getting old
But we're playing along
With intentions
This is out of control
We are still locked down today
We keep playing along
With intentions
This is out of control
We are still locked down today
We keep playing along
With intentions
What intentions?

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”

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.
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/
i dunno what the song means, but in my opinoin it's an awseome song to skate to.
