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”
Isn't this what you came here for?
Isn't this what you came here for?
Isn't this what you came here for?
Isn't this what you came here for?
Blah, blah, blah I don't wanna hear shit
Medicals and miracles and all the obits
We stay all day and leave all night
Tell it like it is because we know it ain't right, they're
Paid off, catch a tiger by- the total price of all the penalties
Let's go, don't you wanna see another model just like you?
Too smart but you can't imagine (too much time in the old abandoned)
My advice (now don't think twice)
You always buy brand new
Too smart but you can't imagine (too much time in the old abandoned)
My advice (now don't think twice)
You always buy brand new
Gangs start shooting and the parents aren't gonna be the answer
To the overwhelming ordinary
Pick a vision and just follow the clues
We don't need the conversation we just confuse the
Breakdown, don't adjust your set, now careful
There's no feedback guarantees
Why now? It always seems to be another job you can't get through
Too smart but you can't imagine (too much time in the old abandoned)
My advice (now don't think twice)
You always buy brand new
Too smart but you can't imagine (too much time in the old abandoned)
My advice (now don't think twice)
You always buy brand new
Your warranty is not a guarantee to me
Your innocence is just a pittance and naive
Contrive the controversy, sinister and plain
Upgrade the system 'til the virus can be sane
Got it all back but I blew it on the trade-in
Isn't this what you came here for?
Got it all back but I blew it on the trade-in
Isn't this what you came here for?
Got it all back but I blew it on the trade-in
Isn't this what you came here for?
Got it all back but I blew it on the trade-in
Isn't this what you came here for?
Too smart but you can't imagine (too much time in the old abandoned)
My advice (now don't think twice)
You always buy brand new
Too smart but you can't imagine (too much time in the old abandoned)
My advice (now don't think twice)
You always buy brand new
Haha (haha, haha, haha, haha)

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.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

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.
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.
