This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
In the dead of the night I start to lose control
But I still carry the weight like I've always done before
It gets so heavy at times but what more can I do
I got to stay on track just like pops told me to
I really don't think you know
There could be hell below, below
I really do hope you know
There could be hell below, below
When the music is done and all the lights are low
I will remember the times when love would really glow
I could dream ahead before my world turned blue
And the light inside would only shine for you
I really don't think you know
There could be hell below, below
I really do hope you know
There could be hell below, below
I really don't think you know
There could be hell below, below
But I still carry the weight like I've always done before
It gets so heavy at times but what more can I do
I got to stay on track just like pops told me to
I really don't think you know
There could be hell below, below
I really do hope you know
There could be hell below, below
When the music is done and all the lights are low
I will remember the times when love would really glow
I could dream ahead before my world turned blue
And the light inside would only shine for you
I really don't think you know
There could be hell below, below
I really do hope you know
There could be hell below, below
I really don't think you know
There could be hell below, below

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.

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.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
I'm REALLY surprised there are no any comments to this song! Here's what I thought: Well first, in an interview Dan has openly said that this album has a "moody" feel to it, having alot of emotions from the divorce he had with his wife. I think this song could symbolize his marriage, but who knows, and that's the great thing about lyrics!
"In the dead of the night I start to lose control But i still carry the weight like I've always done before" -The person keeps fighting with their partner, but they brush it off and pretends like it didn't happen. And hope it will go away sooner or later
"When the music is done and and all the lights are low" -I think this is a metaphor between a song in a concert that finishes and the lights are still low even though the concert's probably over. This could be like a relationship where the love is sort of gone, but they're not sure if they should end it or what to do.
"I would remember the times when love would really glow" -He is reminiscing over the times when the relationship was great and they didn't have problems.
"I could dream ahead before my world turned blue And the light inside would only shine for you" -He would think about the future of them being together up until it started to get bad. He would pretend like there weren't any problems and was forcing the love in the relationship even though he felt like something was wrong in it. He just didn't want to end it for specific reasons.
So that's my two cents. I made an account just to comment on this so hopefully other people comment on it to! :)
@urbane I'd like to add that the chorus about how "there could be hell below" is a bit vindictive, but regretful at the same time. I think he is anxious that some kind of punishment exists for whoever broke his heart, and they don't know that it's coming. Perhaps if they knew what was in store for them, they wouldn't have done it in the first place :(
@catan11580 ya that was the only part i didn't real understand, but now that i look at it it could mean that the other person doesn't realize how angry they make him and that the person might've forgotten there's a place (hell) for people who treat others like that.
I think urbane is right on some counts, and to continue with this:
"I gotta stay on track just like pops told me to do"
The singer is trying to focus on the other aspects of his life and involves his father in order to make themselves feel better about staying in the relationship. They have more important things to worry about than their relationship.
"I really don't think you know There could be hell below, below I really do hope you know There could be hell below, below"
seems to point towards someone trying to tell him the relationship is turning sour and other people can see it. Continuing on this way could lead to hell for the singer as the relationship enters a downward spiral of negative emotion.
