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”
I'll hold onto feeling
Until my final breath escapes
Gazing upon this world
Until it fades
Fall with me into the other night
We can go beyond the horizon again
Fall with me until we're out of time
Let the current swallow
These whispers keep clawing
Your mind is dissolving light
Sink while you bathe in hallucination
Accept this descent into the night
Releasing your grasp to induce separation
Plunged into the shadows
Lost in sensation, we're free falling down into the everblack
Can you feel it? These pins and needles
Trapped in sensation
See what you have found here
You fell into the dark
Release your grip and face the tide
Accepting this damnation
Relinquish flesh temptation
Of the body and soul
The ebb and the flow, nothing confessed
Put me to rest
Azrael
Guiding me beyond the veil
Obitual
Free me from this mortal shell
Enter into the darkest night
I will sink where I lie
Through the sands of time
Through the angel's eye
My final breath
Swallowed by the womb of death
Swallowed by the womb of death
Whispers are clawing
Your mind is dissolving light
Enter the void and fall with me (with me)
Fall with me (with me)
Enter the void
Fall
Release your grip and face the tide accepting this damnation
Relinquish flesh temptation
Of the body and soul
The ebb and the flow, nothing confessed
Put me to rest
Azrael
Guiding me beyond the veil
Obitual
Free me of this mortal shell
Enter into the darkest night
I will sink where I lie
Through the sands of time
Through the angel's eye
My final breath
Swallowed by the womb of death
Swallowed by the womb of death
Swallowed by the womb of death
Sink while you bathe in hallucination
My final breath
Swallowed by the womb of death
As you pass through the fucking gate
Descending towards the end faster
Until my final breath escapes
Gazing upon this world
Until it fades
Fall with me into the other night
We can go beyond the horizon again
Fall with me until we're out of time
Let the current swallow
These whispers keep clawing
Your mind is dissolving light
Sink while you bathe in hallucination
Accept this descent into the night
Releasing your grasp to induce separation
Plunged into the shadows
Lost in sensation, we're free falling down into the everblack
Can you feel it? These pins and needles
Trapped in sensation
See what you have found here
You fell into the dark
Release your grip and face the tide
Accepting this damnation
Relinquish flesh temptation
Of the body and soul
The ebb and the flow, nothing confessed
Put me to rest
Azrael
Guiding me beyond the veil
Obitual
Free me from this mortal shell
Enter into the darkest night
I will sink where I lie
Through the sands of time
Through the angel's eye
My final breath
Swallowed by the womb of death
Swallowed by the womb of death
Whispers are clawing
Your mind is dissolving light
Enter the void and fall with me (with me)
Fall with me (with me)
Enter the void
Fall
Release your grip and face the tide accepting this damnation
Relinquish flesh temptation
Of the body and soul
The ebb and the flow, nothing confessed
Put me to rest
Azrael
Guiding me beyond the veil
Obitual
Free me of this mortal shell
Enter into the darkest night
I will sink where I lie
Through the sands of time
Through the angel's eye
My final breath
Swallowed by the womb of death
Swallowed by the womb of death
Swallowed by the womb of death
Sink while you bathe in hallucination
My final breath
Swallowed by the womb of death
As you pass through the fucking gate
Descending towards the end faster

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,
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.
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.
This song was written with the intention of being over the top so it would grab as much attention as possible. The lead guitarist said he wanted to write, for lack of better terminology, a "Deathcore Pop-song" or, "A radio friendly Deathcore song". The song structure adheres to a "Pop structure". The lyrics were written with the same intent. This song was very carefully constructed in a very specific way with a very specific goal and it worked.The lyrics were meant showcase Will Ramos's vocal ability (which is INSANE). The lyrics written for the sake of being as "METAL" & as "BRUTAL" as possible. I'm the lyrics have some meaning to Ramos but, it's nothing incredibly significant.
@krawfish82 Totally agreed. Even the Artists confessed to bring Metalcore back into Mainstream's spotlight,I am really confused with those who wanna interpret to their own interests.
I think this is about just accepting impending & inevitable darkness as opposed to fighting it.
This song is 100% accurate to how nearly dying felt for me. About a month ago I overdosed and nearly died. It felt like I was in a black void and all I remember thinking over and over was “This is it, I’m dead. I’m never going to see anyone ever again. I’m just going to be in this black nothingness forever.” Luckily I came back after 8 hours of being completely unconscious while feeling like I’m constantly falling into an endless pit of darkness with pins and needles. I honestly thought I was done for. I’m glad that wasn’t the case!
I think it's a firsthand recalling of a demon or more likely damned souls death. Demons were never human. Probably the latter. Powerful song.
This song is the first song on the ep which is all about death and reincarnation, this song leaning most with the death portion of the cycle, Azrael is a angel of death whose responsibility is to escort newly deceased souls from Earth to the afterlife, and is not responsible for judging the soul.
@avery10785 Azrael is not featured in the bible. Possibly mentioned but more familiar to Muslim.<br /> If you listen closely and take Will as portraying characters in a way, the beginning, first mention of Azrael sounds like elation and power. Later he sounds like realization is flooding in and he sounds tormented. Ending in the full pig squeal. The truth, that is what his soul is.
