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.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
No Surprises
Radiohead
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.
Head > Heels

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
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 like to listen to this song at night. It makes me feel infinite and indestructible.
that sense kind of got to me instantaneously
i listen to this as im falling asleep and feel like i could fly and conquer the world
@SHUG92 yes same here
I think you've got the lyrics wrong :P
Brilliant album.
Okay guys, Just hear me out here!
Firstly, this being a song with no lyrics makes you obviously focus on the music itself, which is why I think there is still a strong meaning.
Secondly, the meaning is whatever you make of it.
By just having the rhythm and beat from the instruments you start to think; About anything really, love, sorrow, hope, regret, heartbreak, relief and just life in general.
Just because it's the first song on the album might not be why it's titled "Intro". When you're introduced to new things you experience, feel, and take in emotions.
Sometimes an "intro" can prepare you for what's to come. eg. The rest of the album. So whatever this song fills you with (whether it's meaning or interpretation) you can have a taste of what might be...
Maybe I'm completely wrong, maybe I'm not. Who knows!
i love dancing to this song. and just like transition said, it makes you feel infinite.
It's strange, but I rarely like albums that have an intro. It just seems a bit smarmy and up itself. However, this intro, with it's beautiful humming and droning, is the exception. It segues perfectly into the rest of the album. It's not just a random jumble of sounds, there's still something to move to. Love it, and the rest of the album.
super chill song
it's pure melancholic beauty
Does anyone get the feeling that it kind of sounds like sex every time the drum hits? I mean they are a band that mostly sing about sex. Just a thought that ran through my head when I herd the song. actually you know what I find it similar to M83's "Skin of the Night"
When artistes use intros, interludes and outros in their songs its normally to set the mood or get the right atmosphere for the tracks to come, or in the case of the outro to end the album in a specific atmosphere. This xx, as I'm sure you'd all agree, are very poetic and particular in their songwriting, the arrangement of the tracks on their albums and also where this intro is concerned. It was placed on the album for a reason and we may give our opinions on why but The xx know why they put it on. Try listening the album without this intro and I'm sure you'd feel the difference in how you empathise with the following tracks. The same is true if you'd heard the album the first time without it. Well all I'm saying is not to dismiss these pieces so quickly as the artistes put a lot of work into arranging them on the album to please you, their fans. That's my take on it: it's there to set the mood or get the right atmosphere that The xx wanted for us to fully appreciate their work.
