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.
Bugs in the kitchen and mold in the sink
Chuggin' down the whiskey and you never stop to think
What do we do tomorrow?
Bugs in the kitchen and mold in the sink
Chuggin' down the whiskey and you never stop to think
What do we do tomorrow?
I think I've had enough of these miseries
I've inflicted on myself
drownin' in a beer can flippin' into hell
but every single time I think I see a way
Add a little bit of light at the end of tunnel
It's like no ha! Got ya again
There's just no escape from this labyrinth
buried in mistake and dressed in self loathing
Vomit and blood to crust up my clothing
We've been drinkin' till we're not sure that we'll be alright
Till we're worried that one of us might not make it through the night
Now I'm over it, and I'm over now
It was fun when I was younger
but now I've got a path to chose
either clean up and get down
Or fuck up and tune out
Cause playin' music's all I really know how to do
Bugs in the kitchen and mold in the sink
Chuggin' down the whiskey and you never stop to think
What do we do tomorrow?
Bugs in the kitchen and mold in the sink
Chuggin' down the whiskey and you never stop to think
What do we do tomorrow?
I just wanna get some rest
I'm oh so tired of bein' wired all the time
And oh yes I can interact
but there's nobody home behind
these blood shot eyes
And my brain is runnin' on empty
And my nights are full of stupidity
I'm a hamster runnin' in a ball
at least the rat in the maze has a goal
Cause I wanted to be like Bill Hicks or Van Gogh
Drink absinthe shoot dope snort blow
Cause I thought art was discovered in the altered mind
But now I realize that clarity
entices the muses just as much as the LSD
I would use back in high school
Now there's not as much time to kill
But much rhymes to kill
So wake the fuck up and pass the booze
Chuggin' down the whiskey and you never stop to think
What do we do tomorrow?
Bugs in the kitchen and mold in the sink
Chuggin' down the whiskey and you never stop to think
What do we do tomorrow?
I think I've had enough of these miseries
I've inflicted on myself
drownin' in a beer can flippin' into hell
but every single time I think I see a way
Add a little bit of light at the end of tunnel
It's like no ha! Got ya again
There's just no escape from this labyrinth
buried in mistake and dressed in self loathing
Vomit and blood to crust up my clothing
We've been drinkin' till we're not sure that we'll be alright
Till we're worried that one of us might not make it through the night
Now I'm over it, and I'm over now
It was fun when I was younger
but now I've got a path to chose
either clean up and get down
Or fuck up and tune out
Cause playin' music's all I really know how to do
Bugs in the kitchen and mold in the sink
Chuggin' down the whiskey and you never stop to think
What do we do tomorrow?
Bugs in the kitchen and mold in the sink

What do we do tomorrow?

Holiday

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

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.
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.

“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.
