This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
We stayed high all night.
I watched our lives collide.
I kissed your tired eyes,
you were spinning.
And then I lost you there.
I ran my fingers through your hair,
and then I went back to Kansas City
for the summer.
And I got off the plane,
I realized I didn't know your name,
but I knew within a matter of seconds
that you wanted it that way.
Well I kept so complacent.
No, I kept my mouth shut,
Cause I knew in an instant
that your face could be reduced
to the sand stuck in my shoes.
Well everythings the same.
I had a - from the shattered frames,
Like a child with the weight of the world
on his shoulder blades.
Well I've seen the stars.
I fell in love in a passing car
while the California coast swallowed whole
by a cold dark sky, a rain soaked road.
And I know.
Its not what you want to hear.
You fell in love with a stranger.
His face is wet with your tears.
And I know you're smiling now
Tucking your feet on the floor.
Well if you laugh at all the things that make you sad,
You won't be sad anymore.
I watched our lives collide.
I kissed your tired eyes,
you were spinning.
And then I lost you there.
I ran my fingers through your hair,
and then I went back to Kansas City
for the summer.
And I got off the plane,
I realized I didn't know your name,
but I knew within a matter of seconds
that you wanted it that way.
Well I kept so complacent.
No, I kept my mouth shut,
Cause I knew in an instant
that your face could be reduced
to the sand stuck in my shoes.
Well everythings the same.
I had a - from the shattered frames,
Like a child with the weight of the world
on his shoulder blades.
Well I've seen the stars.
I fell in love in a passing car
while the California coast swallowed whole
by a cold dark sky, a rain soaked road.
And I know.
Its not what you want to hear.
You fell in love with a stranger.
His face is wet with your tears.
And I know you're smiling now
Tucking your feet on the floor.
Well if you laugh at all the things that make you sad,
You won't be sad anymore.

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.
