This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
None of this matters, none of these words
Common and silent we will die in this world
We've only spoken to those who agree
And without them we've fallen on deaf ears
Stand on conviction and you will walk alone
For once I have stood no one will know
But alone I was born and alone we must go
In my convictions I've found my own grave
But amongst the dead we all fade away
Yet solitude is better than a life not worthy of reaction
There is nothing to lose
So we stand alone or join those who follow in misery
In my convictions I've found my own grave
But amongst the dead we all fade away
Fade away
Stand on conviction and you'll walk alone
A voice is only a noise without someone to hear
And without a crowd to feed that noise grows silent
For once I have stood no one will know
But alone I was born and alone we must go
Fading back into an anodyne sea
To drown with all who've gone before me
We must go
In my convictions I've found my own grave
But amongst the dead we all fade away
Stand on conviction and you'll walk alone
Fading back into an anodyne sea
Fading back, fading
Fading back into an anodyne sea
Fading back, fading away
Common and silent we will die in this world
We've only spoken to those who agree
And without them we've fallen on deaf ears
Stand on conviction and you will walk alone
For once I have stood no one will know
But alone I was born and alone we must go
In my convictions I've found my own grave
But amongst the dead we all fade away
Yet solitude is better than a life not worthy of reaction
There is nothing to lose
So we stand alone or join those who follow in misery
In my convictions I've found my own grave
But amongst the dead we all fade away
Fade away
Stand on conviction and you'll walk alone
A voice is only a noise without someone to hear
And without a crowd to feed that noise grows silent
For once I have stood no one will know
But alone I was born and alone we must go
Fading back into an anodyne sea
To drown with all who've gone before me
We must go
In my convictions I've found my own grave
But amongst the dead we all fade away
Stand on conviction and you'll walk alone
Fading back into an anodyne sea
Fading back, fading
Fading back into an anodyne sea
Fading back, fading away

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
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.
Punchline

Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

“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.
This song is really great. Mezmerizing riffs and good emocore lyrcis. Love it
