This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
A week a week you've been sleeping for a week
Yeah but does he know does he know does he know
Don't worry cause I'm sure he'll get a copy
Of the list of times I saved your life
I know exactly where I want to be
I know exactly where I want to be
In your bed, lying dead
Will that get your attention baby!?
A week a week you've been asleep for a few days now
And do ya do ya know do ya know do ya know that I've been here everyday
Watching you, what you do, scrap the plan,
Get my senses, grab my bag and climb out the window
I know exactly where I want to be
I know exactly where I want to be
In your bed, lying dead
Will that get your attention sweetie!?
Fresh cut wrists and still clenched fists
Am I messing up your sheets
Well I'll be gone soon
You left, you left me hanging like a noose
You left, you left me hanging like a noose
You left, you left me hanging like a noose
You left, you left
In your bed, lying dead
Will that get your attention asshole!?
Fresh cut wrists and still clenched fists
Am I messing up your sheets
Well I'll be gone soon
I'll be gone soon, soon enough
Yeah I'll be gone soon
I'll be gone soon, soon enough
Ohh
Yeah but does he know does he know does he know
Don't worry cause I'm sure he'll get a copy
Of the list of times I saved your life
I know exactly where I want to be
I know exactly where I want to be
In your bed, lying dead
Will that get your attention baby!?
A week a week you've been asleep for a few days now
And do ya do ya know do ya know do ya know that I've been here everyday
Watching you, what you do, scrap the plan,
Get my senses, grab my bag and climb out the window
I know exactly where I want to be
I know exactly where I want to be
In your bed, lying dead
Will that get your attention sweetie!?
Fresh cut wrists and still clenched fists
Am I messing up your sheets
Well I'll be gone soon
You left, you left me hanging like a noose
You left, you left me hanging like a noose
You left, you left me hanging like a noose
You left, you left
In your bed, lying dead
Will that get your attention asshole!?
Fresh cut wrists and still clenched fists
Am I messing up your sheets
Well I'll be gone soon
I'll be gone soon, soon enough
Yeah I'll be gone soon
I'll be gone soon, soon enough
Ohh

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.
Blue

Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
Page
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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.
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.
My girlfriend that I dated for three years… this is a long story but I’ll make it short and leave out some of the shit that I probably shouldn’t say… She went to San Francisco to visit her father (she lived in Manhattan), and while she was there Nada Surf was playing and that was like our band, you know. We both love them a lot. So she went to see our band play, and she didn’t want to go alone, so one of my friends from San Francisco was around and I told her to go with him and that he’ll show you a good time, and I called him up and asked if he could show her a good time. So he showed her a good time. She cheated on me after three years at a Nada Surf show, which was our band, which is really fucked up. When I found that out, she flew back to New York, I woke up. I didn’t sleep when I found out, I found out over the phone, and I went as soon as it was light out on a train from Long Island into the city. I planned on… I didn’t know what I planned on doing, I was fucking crazy though. I lost it. I’m a pretty mellow guy, and I lost it. I lost it, and went completely crazy for about six months. Her dad called me because I was pretty much trying to beat down her door. I obviously wouldn’t touch a hair on a woman’s head ever, but I didn’t know what I was going to do. I think I was just going to yell or something. I called her and I was like “I’m outside, you need to talk to me” because she didn’t even tell me. I got a text message saying “I’m so sorry”, and I’m like what is this? And then he calls me and tells me. So I actually didn’t get a restraining order, but her dad called and said he was going to get a restraining order and I said I’m not doing anything wrong. I obliviously wanted to just talk to her and hear it from her. Three years, you owe me that much. So I called it “My Second Restraining Order” because it almost was. I had a restraining order when I was 19 for violence.
Don't stop rockin' Vinnie. IATA for life
