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.
I want you to want me
I need you to need me
I'm begging you to beg me
And I want you now
Yeah I want you to want me
I need you to need me
I'm begging you to beg me
I'd love you to love me
Buy a brand new shirt
Put on brand new shoes
I'd do anything if you say
That you love me.
Didn't I
Didn't I
Didn't I see you cryin'?

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.
Magical

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
how can you hate nofx? they're like the masters of punk, they set the stage like no other band ever would have, oh and this song kix ass and so does propagandhi!
Hahah. I love this song. It's like, the anti-lovesong, making fun of overly sappy, heartfelt, vomit-inducing love ballads.
And the ending with all the band members shouting "fuck" is great. Every song ever should end like that.
And "punk" has had so many definitions over the years, it's damn near impossible to assign it one universal meaning. The Clash was the definitive political punk band, whereas the Sex Pistols embodied the true "hey fuck you" punk attitude, and Crass was the true DIY "fight the system, stick it to the man" punk. Even the Ramones made an important contribution - their easy 3-chord songs set a precedent for simple songwriting, allowing punk to be more accessible to teens, who, admittedly, are usually not very musically proficient yet. And let's face it: without teens, punk would have died a long time ago.
Which of these elements truly embodies the spirit of punkrawk? That's purely opinion. Personally, I think if you remove the influence of any of these bands, you'd get an incomplete picture of what punk is, and what it has come to be.
...what HAS it come to be, you ask?
Fuck if I know, man.
...Luckily, there are bands like Propagandhi around to keep the true spirit of punk alive. Even if bands like NFG, who sing about fucking GIRL problems, and NOFX, who just spout on and on about Bush (we get it, he's a bad president) may get all the fame and glory, there will always be bands like Propagandhi around to remind people what punk truly is. Or at least... what it once was.
stop trying to define punk you berks. Punk has different meanings to different people...
I thought NOFX did this one. Oh well, whatever, nevermind.
I thought so too when I downloaded it, but when I bought "How to CLean Everything" it was on it.
Cheap trick first sang this song.. Propagandhi does a cover of it..and I guess NOFX does too..bleh [i hate NOFX]
masters of punk? you need to learn a bit of history.
maybe not punk masters but one of the best..
the only decent nofx song is "idiot son of an asshole" its about pres bush
and the true punk masters would be the sex pistols before them punk was bubblegum like the ramones it wasnt an attack on thew fucking societal norms that desatroy everythingf good in the world
sex pistols true punk masters? that is a sick joke mate. the pistols were a fucking fashion-punk boyband who cared fuck all about actually doing something to further society. buy London Calling by The Clash and educate yourself to the true meaning of "being punk".
with regards to nofx, i can no longer listen to any of their song written after they made the transition to the political process. they have sold out to the system and are a tool of the democrat party. "hijack it" my ass.
