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.
Automatically couldn't be determined
First version, boney verges
My words purpling like I'm smoking on some purp-blurpy
You can see me leaping, my words creeping slowly
Now they know me when my whole influence was rolling with the homies
First off, one of the best to ever touch off
You can see me touchdown anytime--- RANDY MOSS!
You can take what you get from it
My words influenced by the slums and they love it
Hip-hop no hipster
Words flip back you can see I rip through
Haters innovator rock, paper, scissor see me as I cut up my nigga
If you could figure the first flow, but bring it back because we got much in-store
So kick back and relax yourself
Sit back you can hold your set
When I flow I leave the mic wrapped like Imhotep
and I rap to the first degree
I'm tenth degree, you see me
In the city bumping CD
My city's not pretty
It's gritty
Top notch when the block's hot
Blow up like soda & pop rocks going non-stop real street
but the sound pop heated the dash box
They block cock ready to pop pop, y'know?
Top notch when the block's hot
Blow up like soda & pop rocks going non-stop real street
but the sound pop eating the dash box
They block cock ready to pop shot, y'know?
Mix tape done-dotta, ain't non hotter
Earl the Pearl, black Jesus he walk water
Flow agua, chick cropper
Carl Aqua, make it rain with my dollars like doppler
You ain't even on my radar
Tell by your grimace that your ass is a hater
I'm going to the crib, check you bitch niggas later
Be real stiffs, you jackoff's try to play hard
First version, boney verges
My words purpling like I'm smoking on some purp-blurpy
You can see me leaping, my words creeping slowly
Now they know me when my whole influence was rolling with the homies
First off, one of the best to ever touch off
You can see me touchdown anytime--- RANDY MOSS!
You can take what you get from it
My words influenced by the slums and they love it
Hip-hop no hipster
Words flip back you can see I rip through
Haters innovator rock, paper, scissor see me as I cut up my nigga
If you could figure the first flow, but bring it back because we got much in-store
So kick back and relax yourself
Sit back you can hold your set
When I flow I leave the mic wrapped like Imhotep
and I rap to the first degree
I'm tenth degree, you see me
In the city bumping CD
My city's not pretty
It's gritty
Top notch when the block's hot
Blow up like soda & pop rocks going non-stop real street
but the sound pop heated the dash box
They block cock ready to pop pop, y'know?
Top notch when the block's hot
Blow up like soda & pop rocks going non-stop real street

Be real stiffs, you jackoff's try to play hard

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.
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.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
