This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
lay another one to rest in the valley of my shadows opened up
bury all my expectations for a semi normal love
and with it burning in my palms
and massaging into my blood
i try to fight away my urges
"it’s only gonna rope you up girl!"
hear me, i know my capabilities
of breaking in the the only thing that saves you from you feelings of trust
believe the angel on your shoulder when she comes
cause your devil’s so familliar...
and mine’ll leave you flustered like..........
you count your tears like experience
and me just another sunken dream trying to deal with it calmly
reacting every situation since you called me.
head dug into my palms thinking she don’t honestly want this
and its obvious
the sorrow sets it off
hypnotizing both of us into agreeing with the odds
but in the dark
i got a chance to fight it off
instead i sleep with the chaos that’ll wander down the same damn path i chose to walk on.
she said it took her all her life she’s steady lookin at me like she caught a glimpse of something "i am not your paradise girl" and with it in me its better to save your wishes for the moment after sailing away "you should have never even asked"she said it took her all her life she’s steady lookin at me like she caught a glimpse of something "i am not your paradise girl" and with it in me its better to save your wishes for the moment after sailing away "i should have never even shown you"
what it’s like inside the world i keep a lock on.
purple hearted scar garden harvesting my thoughts song
and.. with the chalk gone
the problem still exists
at least the outline of its death prevents a nother fatal kiss
but thats impossible
neither one of opted to be positive
we stared each other in the face and screamed untill we lost it.
and the fire magnetically pulled both of us right on top of it
till one of us surrendered to rejection of the opposite.
and this is not a love song.
i’m working out my problems
the love songs what caused em. now i’m stuck and tryen to solve em
and its all forever tarnished
from begining to the end
you use my smile as an ashtray and inhale its ending sent
let it go.. please let it go this will kill you
reinventing us is not a miracle we still do... and..
just as certain as i speak it to you now...
i know i’ll wake up on the left side on the other side of town
listen!..

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.
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.
yes, i agree completely with that guy above me ^ thats exactly what this song is about. some of the lyrics are iffy about it but as a whole, most of them point to that conclusion
