In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
Last week I flew to san diego to see my antie
On day 1 I met her hot step daughter
She's a cheerleader, she is a virgin and she is really tan
As she stepped out of her massive car
I could only notice she was more than fuckable
I think she was coming back from the game or something
Cause she was holding those silly pompoms
On day 2 I fucked her and it was wild
She is such a slut
I fucked my american cunt
I loved my english romance
I fucked my american cunt
I loved my english romance
It was dirty a dream came true
Just like I like it she's got nice tits
It was perfect a dream came true
Just like a song by blink182
ok listen girls
I met the hottest guy ever
Basically as I was stepping out of my s.u.v.
I came face to face with my step cousin or whatever
Who cares
Anyway he was wearing skinny jeans had funky hair
And the cutest british accent ever
Straight away I could tell he was a rocker
With his sexy attitude and the way he looked at me
Mmm he is totally awesome
Oh my god I think I'm in love
I fucked my american cunt
I loved my english romance
I fucked my american cunt
I loved my english romance
It was dirty a dream came true
Just like I like it she's got nice tits
It was perfect a dream came true
Just like a song by blink182
I fucked my american cunt
I loved my english romance
I fucked my american cunt
I loved my english romance
It was so nice to meet you
Pleasure is mine I do like you
Come to cancun for springbreak
Ill think about it it could be great.
And don't forget he send me a "friend request".
As if.

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.
Dumb song. Makes fun of Americans, but really makes fun of the guys who sing this type of rubbish. They're the ones who look like idiots. Call any woman a 'cunt' and you're not worth having in bed (or life). Call it "romance" and "love" when you have someone on the side and you'll eventually end up old and alone. Idiotic song and mindset, and written by two supposed women no less. Brainwashed fools.
I think you, and most of the people here are missing the point of the song. It is a satire of how boys and girls discuss a relationship. Obviously the guy is a douche, but a lot of guys are when they are with other guys, we like to brag, and since there aren't any girls to judge us we can get crass. As for the "[Making] fun of Americans:" Yeah this is a European band, but they have stereotypes about us just like we have stereotypes about them. I mean really, look the band up, its three guys who originally formed as a joke. None of their other songs sound like this one. Like you, I don't agree with what they are saying, but I like it as a joke. Maybe since you are girl you don't get it, but as a guy, I can laugh at it because, well these conversations happen, its just guy humor.
