This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Lick the blood off my hands little darling
Lick the blood off my hands little go-go girl
Lick the blood off my hands little darling
Easy
Lick the blood off my human altar
Lick the blood off my human altar girl
Lick the blood off my human altar
Easy
The whore you ride
Hid up inside
The sorcerer will come
The winged rain
The amber red
A force you can't control
Lick the blood off my hands little darling
Lick the blood off my hands little demon girl
Lick the blood off my hands little darling
Bleed it all down
Bleed it all down
Bleed it all down
Bleed it all down
The whore you hide
Deep down inside
Will never be denied
The breath you take
Make no mistake
Will ease your restless nights
Lick the blood off my hands little darling
Lick the blood off my hands little go-go girl
Lick the blood off my hands little darling
Bleed it all down
Bleed it all down
Bleed it all down
Bleed it all down
Lick the blood off my hands little go-go girl
Lick the blood off my hands little darling
Easy
Lick the blood off my human altar
Lick the blood off my human altar girl
Lick the blood off my human altar
Easy
The whore you ride
Hid up inside
The sorcerer will come
The winged rain
The amber red
A force you can't control
Lick the blood off my hands little darling
Lick the blood off my hands little demon girl
Lick the blood off my hands little darling
Bleed it all down
Bleed it all down
Bleed it all down
Bleed it all down
The whore you hide
Deep down inside
Will never be denied
The breath you take
Make no mistake
Will ease your restless nights
Lick the blood off my hands little darling
Lick the blood off my hands little go-go girl
Lick the blood off my hands little darling
Bleed it all down
Bleed it all down
Bleed it all down
Bleed it all down

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.

American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
Pretty easy to tell here, this ones about satanic rites. Using a young "pure: girl to carry out black magic. Blood is power, making her lick it off his hands is a sign of submission. He is allowing her to be reborn by the blood, to let out her inner desires for power and sex.
