(words and music by: Zack Walters)

why you got to be bringing me grief
stealing all my time I should be calling you thief
so you fell in when I left the seat up
you should’ve turned around and looked
before planting your skinny ass butt
what am I looking at what am I feeling right now

why you got to be bringing me down
increasing my lack of money
cha-ching ain’t a pleasant sound
I turn the A/C up, you turn the A/C down
It’s like a circus on our not so merry go round
I’m tired, I’m sick, I can be a dick,

If your shrink don’t save you, ooh ooh
Then I’d have no clue what to do
If valium don’t calm you, ooh ooh
Then maybe a shovel will do

Pick me up don’t be late, pay for my food but no touchin’ my plate
Open my door, pull out my chair, you better notice when I style my hair
You didn’t call, you didn’t wait, I could just slap you right here on your face
well Oh my girl the tables have turned, I’m gonna stay til my tan lines have burned
Take out the trash, fill up my tank, say bye to your friends cause your locked on my chain
Say by to all of that your ass is mine, for all of your years or maybe just nine
blah, blah, blah, @#$%@^^ @#$&^%*$^##$ #$%^#$%^#$%

Why you got to be acting all insane
Neither jenny jones or jenny craig
could ease my endless pain
I know I should give up
I know I should give in
But round here that there we call Sinny sin, sin
I’m tired, I’m worn, my side aches from your thorn

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
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.

Amazing
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.
