This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
This is the world that we live in
I feel myself get tired
This is the world that we live in
Well, maybe I was mistaken
I heard a rumor that you quit this day and age
Well, maybe I was mistaken
Bless your body, bless your soul
Pray for peace and self control
I gotta believe it's worth it
Without a victory I'm so sanctified and free
Well, maybe I'm just mistaken
Lesson learned
And the wheels keep turning
This is the world that we live in
I can't take blame for two
This is the world that we live in
And maybe we'll make it through
Bless your body, bless your soul
Reel me in and cut my throat
Underneath the waterfall
Baby, we're still in this, oh, yeah
This is the world that we live in
I feel myself get tired
This is the world that we live in
I had a dream that I was falling down
There's no next time, alone
A storm wastes its water on me
But my life was free
I guess it's the world that we live in
It's not too late for that
This is the world that we live in
And no, we can't go back
This is the world that we live in
I still want something real
This is the world that we live in
I know that we can heal over time
This is the world that we live in
This is the world that we live in
I feel myself get tired
This is the world that we live in
Well, maybe I was mistaken
I heard a rumor that you quit this day and age
Well, maybe I was mistaken
Bless your body, bless your soul
Pray for peace and self control
I gotta believe it's worth it
Without a victory I'm so sanctified and free
Well, maybe I'm just mistaken
Lesson learned
And the wheels keep turning
This is the world that we live in
I can't take blame for two
This is the world that we live in
And maybe we'll make it through
Bless your body, bless your soul
Reel me in and cut my throat
Underneath the waterfall
Baby, we're still in this, oh, yeah
This is the world that we live in
I feel myself get tired
This is the world that we live in
I had a dream that I was falling down
There's no next time, alone
A storm wastes its water on me
But my life was free
I guess it's the world that we live in
It's not too late for that
This is the world that we live in
And no, we can't go back
This is the world that we live in
I still want something real
This is the world that we live in
I know that we can heal over time
This is the world that we live in
This is the world that we live in

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.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
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.
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.
I actually think the meaning of this song is connected to some other songs on the album. He is dissapointed in the world he lives in today. In "Human", he pointed out his dissapointment in society, and questioned whether people were thinking for themselves.
In this song, he says "bless your body, bless your soul, pray for peace and self control", which, like tef pointed out, sounds like Shania Twain. He is basically stating what "dancers" do, since he has found that the person he is speaking to IS a "dancer" (they don't think for themselves) and not a human, or, they haven't quit this day and age. He says we can't go back, but he still wants "something real". That's my interpretation, hope it makes sense.
