This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
We're the last of the sleepless ones,
Left behind by those we left behind tonight.
Quiet now, let the poison take,
Were we always just your lost cause mistakes?
Wait for me, will you wait for me?
I need you on my side.
Wait for me, Meg wait for me,
With arms wide.
Alone, left alone,
Watch us slowly disappear with time.
Alone, still alone,
Forgotten, lost, and left behind.
Dark lit streets are no place for kids,
But it gives us more of a home than you ever did.
We're the scientists left to our own demise,
You're still our last chance to get out of this place alive.
Wait for me, will you wait for me, with arms wide?
Alone, left alone,
Watch us slowly disappear with time.
Alone, still alone,
Forgotten, lost, and left behind.
Alone, left alone,
Watch us slowly disappear in time.
Alone, left alone,
Watch us slowly disappear with time.
Alone, still alone,
Forgotten, lost, and left
Alone, left alone,
Watch us slowly disappear with time.
Alone, still alone,
Forgotten, lost, and left behind.
Left behind by those we left behind tonight.
Quiet now, let the poison take,
Were we always just your lost cause mistakes?
Wait for me, will you wait for me?
I need you on my side.
Wait for me, Meg wait for me,
With arms wide.
Alone, left alone,
Watch us slowly disappear with time.
Alone, still alone,
Forgotten, lost, and left behind.
Dark lit streets are no place for kids,
But it gives us more of a home than you ever did.
We're the scientists left to our own demise,
You're still our last chance to get out of this place alive.
Wait for me, will you wait for me, with arms wide?
Alone, left alone,
Watch us slowly disappear with time.
Alone, still alone,
Forgotten, lost, and left behind.
Alone, left alone,
Watch us slowly disappear in time.
Alone, left alone,
Watch us slowly disappear with time.
Alone, still alone,
Forgotten, lost, and left
Alone, left alone,
Watch us slowly disappear with time.
Alone, still alone,
Forgotten, lost, and left behind.

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.

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.

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.
Stephen Christian says....
“Disappear” came out of the homelessness in LA, just driving by it every day to work, to go record this record. After awhile it came to be that I can’t believe these people are disappearing in my mind. The first day you’re just like, oh my gosh, I can’t believe all these homeless people are out here. By day two you’re like, oh man, by day three you’re just like, hmm, and by day twelve they’re just an after thought. It struck me one day, how does this happen in my life, how do we as human beings just grow so desensitized to things that we see on television or in the news.”
"This song was written about a documentary I saw on National Geographic about homeless kids and my first hand experience with those less fortunate that I witnessed in Los Angeles. It was hard to think that no one cared, and that the more I drove by the less I did. They just become fixtures… their lack became normal. Its not that they left, they just became invisible to me. Quickly I realized my error, wrote this song and worked with an organization called RED EYE in LA to try to do my part." - Stephen Christian anberlinlyrics.tumblr.com June 2014
amazing song! can't wait for this new album to come out...
but this song at a glance makes me think he's (stephen or whoever the hell its about) reffering to somebody (possibly god) that ditched him and left him stranded, but in the end is his only out of whatever predicament he's in
"The lyrics are about not forgetting the homeless."
great song. new surrender is definitely going to be one of my aoty's.
glad twloha got these lyrics. now there here.
silentists... did Stephen make up another word? just like conversate
In TWLOHA's exclusive blog which was where the lyrics to this song were first posted, Jamie said Stepehn told him that this song is about not forgetting the homeless.
This song is great. I can't wait for New Surrender.
although i love this song, it is a little sad. and it does seem like it is about homeless people.
