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.
Ah
Girl, you've been gone away a real long time (ah)
I nearly went out of my mind, waiting on (ah)
I miss your lovin' when you left, baby you did (ah)
Ah baby, come here, let me caress you (ah)
Ah ah baby your letters, ah tell me what you missed (ah)
Come here, sugar, and get to this (ah)
Ah baby, I want you here
I want to do something freaky to you (ah)
I want you to feel just what I felt ah

Ooh remember, baby, how you made me feel just like a king

You're so fine, so petite, oh candy sweet (ah)

Come here, come here, baby, get to this (ah)
Yeah yeah yeah yeah (ooh)
Sweet love, sweet love, oh so good
Get back here from the depths, we have to get back (ooh)
Oh, nothin's changed, you're still sweet as the mornin' rain (ooh) (woo woo)
And I'm standin' ready to (ooh)
Love you, babe, make it good to you (ooh)
Ooh I need your love
Don't make me wait, I can't wait (ooh)
Oh I'm so impatient for your love
Come here, sweet sweet baby, get to this

Oh I'm so impatient for your love
Come here, sweet sweet baby, get to this
Girl, I know you've been gone a long time
You nearly blew my mind, baby (girl)
Girl, you've been gone for so long
I'm so glad, babe, glad that you're home, oh baby

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.

Page
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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.
lol...i'm pretty sure it's supposed to go "I want to do something freaky to you"
