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.
Hate grows,
Breaking hearts.
Beg and supplicate,
But there's no forgiving sins of all the dreams you stole.
You're the same old songs,
Bitter smile in heart.
'Cause no one can,
Let the tidal waves go their way,
In this unkind goodbye.
Suffering 'till no emotions can sense hope,
They gifted you a black heart.
Are they gone to see the end?
These kind of eyes wide move in my way,
Somehow you blow all the reasons away.
These faults, all these tears,
Won't bring me back today.
All these lies that I left behind.
Time figures that you're wrong.
can't you see?
Bring all your lies to me,
Bring them.
Why don't you want to put this to an end?
What of the vow we had?
Liar.
Wait to swear.
You don't know a thing about it.
I owe you nothing more.
Fainted heart.
She walks as if the rain proceeds few steps behind her,
(Accept the loneliness).
She moves with all the winds and all the clouds upon her,
(Give her a chance).
She beats time to the tidal waves,
(Choosing moments) choosing moments, rhythm of my breath.
And she calls me with no name,
And she finds so hard to stay here,
Will all these middle times give us a will?
'Cause there's more than a way.
But without you there's no other side.
Back in her sleepless nightmares,
She sucks the pain.
When do I make her know that she's rid?
Draw them a portrait of suspicion for you.
If I died would you say what you did to me?
And nothing more, and nothing more.
But what rests today makes a follower,
They are nothing to me.
Breaking hearts.
Beg and supplicate,
But there's no forgiving sins of all the dreams you stole.
You're the same old songs,
Bitter smile in heart.
'Cause no one can,
Let the tidal waves go their way,
In this unkind goodbye.
Suffering 'till no emotions can sense hope,
They gifted you a black heart.
Are they gone to see the end?
These kind of eyes wide move in my way,
Somehow you blow all the reasons away.
These faults, all these tears,
Won't bring me back today.
All these lies that I left behind.
Time figures that you're wrong.
can't you see?
Bring all your lies to me,
Bring them.
Why don't you want to put this to an end?
What of the vow we had?
Liar.
Wait to swear.
You don't know a thing about it.
I owe you nothing more.
Fainted heart.
She walks as if the rain proceeds few steps behind her,
(Accept the loneliness).
She moves with all the winds and all the clouds upon her,
(Give her a chance).
She beats time to the tidal waves,
(Choosing moments) choosing moments, rhythm of my breath.
And she calls me with no name,
And she finds so hard to stay here,
Will all these middle times give us a will?
'Cause there's more than a way.
But without you there's no other side.
Back in her sleepless nightmares,
She sucks the pain.
When do I make her know that she's rid?
Draw them a portrait of suspicion for you.
If I died would you say what you did to me?
And nothing more, and nothing more.
But what rests today makes a follower,
They are nothing to me.

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.
