This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
And it was the new music and it was timid, humble and stern.
It was brown and light brown and sepia.
It was almost forgotten, it lays in a ditch on the side of the road.
You and I drove along once and it was happy to lie there day dreaming.
It stretched into the distance further than you ever thought possible and it didn't give a fuck about you and I either way.
We're into all of those and it's into overload.
We're into all of those, our time and it's into overload.
Overload.
Shot down in the road, let's see your number.
Wake up shoppers from your slumber.
Jackpot lottery, got bonanza.
Saionara propaganda.
Zeitgeist eye sore, got the price right.
Cut to add break, urban fist fight.
Insurrection on the free way, turn around and go the wrong way.
The wrong way, the wrong way.
I can't hear you!
Overload, forgot to mention, chain reaction in detention.
September-sylum contradiction.
Lifestyle, litmus causing friction.
Insurrection on the free way, turn around and go the wrong way.
I'm a servant in this palace, so corrupt and out of balance.
I can't hear you.
The wrong way, the wrong way.
It was brown and light brown and sepia.
It was almost forgotten, it lays in a ditch on the side of the road.
You and I drove along once and it was happy to lie there day dreaming.
It stretched into the distance further than you ever thought possible and it didn't give a fuck about you and I either way.
We're into all of those and it's into overload.
We're into all of those, our time and it's into overload.
Overload.
Shot down in the road, let's see your number.
Wake up shoppers from your slumber.
Jackpot lottery, got bonanza.
Saionara propaganda.
Zeitgeist eye sore, got the price right.
Cut to add break, urban fist fight.
Insurrection on the free way, turn around and go the wrong way.
The wrong way, the wrong way.
I can't hear you!
Overload, forgot to mention, chain reaction in detention.
September-sylum contradiction.
Lifestyle, litmus causing friction.
Insurrection on the free way, turn around and go the wrong way.
I'm a servant in this palace, so corrupt and out of balance.
I can't hear you.
The wrong way, the wrong way.

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.
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.
the whole album is awesome but this song is by far the best on the new normal!! have a listen.. "i'm a servant in this palace so corrupt and out of balance" how true is this it really makes u look at life from a different perspective! love it !
I love everything about this song, from the awesome spoken intro with a thick aussie accent to all the awesome lines in the song itself. Brilliant
