In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
As the moon ascends
The wolves come to see the end
They hide from view and wait
To watch the ghost inside you come awake
And when the shots go off
You'll hear them call
My heart is racing just to see it all
To watch you crawl out of you changing shape
To take out your breath and watch it come awake
From the flames of the fire
I feel you crawl into my bed
Throwing shapes at the sky,
I watch you climb into me
With your knees open
On display you taunt the beast again
'Cause when you move and shake
That thing inside you comes awake
As you dance against the breathing walls
My claws are out I want to feel it all
Feel it crawl inside you changing shape
Take out your breath and feel you come awake
From the flames of the fire,
I feel you crawl into my bed
Throwing shapes at the sky,
I watch you climb into me
Say something, pray for something
Say something, pray or something
Say something, pray for something
Say something, pray or something
Say something, pray or something
From the flames of the fire,
I feel you crawl into my bed
Throwing shapes at the sky,
I watch you climb into me
SAY SOMETHING! PRAY OR SOMETHING!
SAY SOMETHING! PRAY FOR SOMETHING!
SAY
The wolves come to see the end
They hide from view and wait
To watch the ghost inside you come awake
And when the shots go off
You'll hear them call
My heart is racing just to see it all
To watch you crawl out of you changing shape
To take out your breath and watch it come awake
From the flames of the fire
I feel you crawl into my bed
Throwing shapes at the sky,
I watch you climb into me
With your knees open
On display you taunt the beast again
'Cause when you move and shake
That thing inside you comes awake
As you dance against the breathing walls
My claws are out I want to feel it all
Feel it crawl inside you changing shape
Take out your breath and feel you come awake
From the flames of the fire,
I feel you crawl into my bed
Throwing shapes at the sky,
I watch you climb into me
Say something, pray for something
Say something, pray or something
Say something, pray for something
Say something, pray or something
Say something, pray or something
From the flames of the fire,
I feel you crawl into my bed
Throwing shapes at the sky,
I watch you climb into me
SAY SOMETHING! PRAY OR SOMETHING!
SAY SOMETHING! PRAY FOR SOMETHING!
SAY

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.

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.
Don't think I have an audience yet, but I'll try to post a comment.. Only once hopefully.. Censorship non rights hack my iPod.
There was a girl from my dreams from the long before past. So beautiful that it seemed I couldn't even escape.. Note the wolves come out to see the end.. She was the conditions of the shapeshifter from Texas massacre if you had my version. But to me she was already dead.. Note "ghost".
As the moon ascends, the wolves come out to see the end. They hide from(per) view and wait. To watch the ghost inside you Come awake(go away)
And as the shots go off(show begins you'll hear "them"call) shots go off you'll hear them(dogs) call My heart is racing just to see it you(you dog)(doc.) To watch you crawl out of your changing shape(shapeshifter trait) (jugend shame)(jaded shame) Take all your breath and feel you come awake(go away) - it's a play on words. Take her breath away("in love"-come awake) also you can take the line literally(death, kill go away)
From the flames, or in fire, I feel you crawl into my bed(veins)
With your knees all bent(hurt or transforming/or praying.Or open( you know...) On display you taunt the beast again..:( or I'll display you taunt the beast again.. Cause when you move and shake(:( That thing inside you(soul) comes awake(goes away:(
As you dance(acid dance) against the breathing walls. My claws are right/ are hate/are height/ arrive. Oh won't you feel at all? I want to feel it all. Feel it ( to obtain good feeling within) crawl inside you changing shape(*) Take all your breath and feel you come awake! Say something, pray for something Say something pray to something! Say!
@Heeltoehole <br /> If u knew they created Paris or hitler in 1992 at the time it might have just been changing shape(but setting me up I like to make hard on no led and the prez.. 4 years does change a persons opinion about morals and mistakes of an 11 year old.. And writing all the lyrics and 5 Warner movies will do that
@Heeltoehole Type mistake u=I
@Heeltoehole wow a bunch of typos now that I look at it . Steve/Mary?
