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”
I never meant to hurt no one
Nobody ever tore me down like you
I think you knew it all along
And now you'll never see my face again
I never meant to hurt nobody
And will I ever see the sun again?
I wonder where the guilt had gone
I think of what I have become
And still
I never meant to hurt nobody
Now I'm taking what is mine
Letting go of my mistakes
Build a fire from what I've learned
And watch it fade away
Because I have no heart to break
I cannot fake it like before
I thought that I could stay the same
And now I know that I'm not sure
I even love me anymore
I never meant to hurt no one
Sometimes you gotta look the other way
It never should've lasted so long
Ashamed you'll never see my face again
I never meant to hurt nobody
I know I'll never be the same again
Now taking back what I have done
I think of what I have become
And still
I never meant to hurt nobody
Now I'm taking what is mine
Letting go of my mistakes
Build a fire from what I've learned
And watch it fade away
Because I have no heart to break
I cannot fake it like before
I thought that I could stay the same
And now I know that I'm not sure
I even love me anymore
I never meant to hurt nobody
Nobody ever tore me down like you
I never meant to hurt no one
Now I'm taking what is mine
Letting go of my mistakes
Build a fire from what I've learned
And watch it fade away
Because I have no heart to break
I cannot fake it like before
I thought that I could stay the same
And now I know that I'm not sure
I even love me anymore
Nobody ever tore me down like you
I think you knew it all along
And now you'll never see my face again
I never meant to hurt nobody
And will I ever see the sun again?
I wonder where the guilt had gone
I think of what I have become
And still
I never meant to hurt nobody
Now I'm taking what is mine
Letting go of my mistakes
Build a fire from what I've learned
And watch it fade away
Because I have no heart to break
I cannot fake it like before
I thought that I could stay the same
And now I know that I'm not sure
I even love me anymore
I never meant to hurt no one
Sometimes you gotta look the other way
It never should've lasted so long
Ashamed you'll never see my face again
I never meant to hurt nobody
I know I'll never be the same again
Now taking back what I have done
I think of what I have become
And still
I never meant to hurt nobody
Now I'm taking what is mine
Letting go of my mistakes
Build a fire from what I've learned
And watch it fade away
Because I have no heart to break
I cannot fake it like before
I thought that I could stay the same
And now I know that I'm not sure
I even love me anymore
I never meant to hurt nobody
Nobody ever tore me down like you
I never meant to hurt no one
Now I'm taking what is mine
Letting go of my mistakes
Build a fire from what I've learned
And watch it fade away
Because I have no heart to break
I cannot fake it like before
I thought that I could stay the same
And now I know that I'm not sure
I even love me anymore

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.
Magical

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

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.
Omg how is it that no one has commented on this song yet? It's fucking amazing, my sister just had to play it for a couple of seconds and I instantly fell in love with it. I must have heard over 1000 times already and it hasn't even been a week. It's really good, very powerful lyrics, catchy beat and everything. It's just awesome, definitely my favorite from Vulnerable.
(highlights: "I'm not even sure if I love ME anymore" "now i'm taking what is mine." "i never meant to hurt nobody" (double negative but whatever) "Letting go of my mistakes"
Not exactly what this song is about specifically, maybe about how he's regretting a whole bunch of shit he did to himself as well as others in the past. But then also moving on from those hangups, and just learning from the past too....idk
