This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Tell me golden ocean love
Hopeless but adored
Sea-slick symboled wants for more
He draws the Raven's card
Give me forward motion love
Seas of white unfold
Sky's black servant divinate
Show us what you hold
Window watcher, I want you, come on
Oh, love are you mine?
Those feathered lashes you're hiding behind
Does it catch in your chest?
Do you like what you find?
Don't you know I think about it all of the time?
Diamond islands in your eyes
Blackest in the sun
Ancient watcher divinate
You're the only one
Window watcher, I want you, come on
Oh, love are you mine?
Those feathered lashes you're hiding behind
Does it catch in your chest?
Do you like what you find?
Don't you know I think about it all of the time?
Window watcher, I want you, come on
Oh, love are you kind?
Those withered words that ring in your mind
Does it catch in your chest?
Do you like what you find?
Window watcher, I want you
To feel water
To feel fire
To feel water
Window watcher, I want you, come on
Oh, love are you mine?
Those feathered lashes you're hiding behind
Does it catch in your chest?
Do you like what you find?
Window watcher, I want you, come down and be mine
Little watcher, come closer, I need you
Oh, love are you kind?
Those withered words that ring in your mind
Does it catch in your chest?
Do you like what you see?
Is it all what you want it, want it to be?
Come down, storm crow
From your window
Come down, storm crow
Find your way home
Find your way home
Hopeless but adored
Sea-slick symboled wants for more
He draws the Raven's card
Give me forward motion love
Seas of white unfold
Sky's black servant divinate
Show us what you hold
Window watcher, I want you, come on
Oh, love are you mine?
Those feathered lashes you're hiding behind
Does it catch in your chest?
Do you like what you find?
Don't you know I think about it all of the time?
Diamond islands in your eyes
Blackest in the sun
Ancient watcher divinate
You're the only one
Window watcher, I want you, come on
Oh, love are you mine?
Those feathered lashes you're hiding behind
Does it catch in your chest?
Do you like what you find?
Don't you know I think about it all of the time?
Window watcher, I want you, come on
Oh, love are you kind?
Those withered words that ring in your mind
Does it catch in your chest?
Do you like what you find?
Window watcher, I want you
To feel water
To feel fire
To feel water
Window watcher, I want you, come on
Oh, love are you mine?
Those feathered lashes you're hiding behind
Does it catch in your chest?
Do you like what you find?
Window watcher, I want you, come down and be mine
Little watcher, come closer, I need you
Oh, love are you kind?
Those withered words that ring in your mind
Does it catch in your chest?
Do you like what you see?
Is it all what you want it, want it to be?
Come down, storm crow
From your window
Come down, storm crow
Find your way home
Find your way home

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.
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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.
I'm going to make an attempt at interpretation of this song (and could also add more given I don't have time to get too detailed in my analysis of so many dense poetic lines):
She uses a lot of mythical and mystical language to capture the mysterious creator of consciousness up to our current state. She fluctuates her language from collective conscious to personal consciousness and those moments of connection between the two (mystical experiences).
Some of the language is in the window watcher attempt to experience itself through other forms of consciousness. Driving our inate desire to satisfy collective consciousness by experiencing itselt through forms, in our case, life through the human form. She refers to her conscious awareness or soul behind her eyes, which is hardest to see in the sun because we are bombarded by visual external stimuli as we perceive energy being hit by photons, being perceived through a limited human brain and body.
In this attempt to expand consciousness and experience itself and to experience the external stimuli that the body experiences (experiencing water and fire), it led some conflict and suffering over humanity. Only the source of consciousness that encompasses all consciousness can save us collectively and individually, and we are all a part of that.
However, it seems like the writer is calling for help from the overall mysterious consciousness behind everything and beyond humanity consciousness, to intervene. It's basically a hipsters prayer to save humanity of the problems associated with the Raven card.
