This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Drinking water to stay thin
Or is it to purify?
I love you all the same
But there's no, no real truce with my fury
You don't have to believe me
I love you all the same
But you stole the sun from my heart
You stole the sun from my heart
Oh, you stole the sun from my heart
You stole the sun from
And you stole the sun from, ah
You have broken through my armour
And I don't have an answer, I
I love you all the same
I paint the things I want to see
But it don't come easy, I
I love you all the same
But you stole the sun from my heart
And you stole the sun from my heart
Oh, you stole the sun from my heart
You stole the sun from
You stole the sun from, ah
Think I'm, I'm lost among the undergrowth
So much so I woke up but
I love you all the same
But you stole the sun from my heart
You stole the sun from my
Oh, you stole the sun from my heart
You stole the sun from
You stole the sun from, ah
I have, I gotta stop smiling
It gives the wrong impression and I
I love you all the same
Or is it to purify?
I love you all the same
But there's no, no real truce with my fury
You don't have to believe me
I love you all the same
But you stole the sun from my heart
You stole the sun from my heart
Oh, you stole the sun from my heart
You stole the sun from
And you stole the sun from, ah
You have broken through my armour
And I don't have an answer, I
I love you all the same
I paint the things I want to see
But it don't come easy, I
I love you all the same
But you stole the sun from my heart
And you stole the sun from my heart
Oh, you stole the sun from my heart
You stole the sun from
You stole the sun from, ah
Think I'm, I'm lost among the undergrowth
So much so I woke up but
I love you all the same
But you stole the sun from my heart
You stole the sun from my
Oh, you stole the sun from my heart
You stole the sun from
You stole the sun from, ah
I have, I gotta stop smiling
It gives the wrong impression and I
I love you all the same

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.

Page

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.
I love this song, it's one of my fave manics ones. I think it's about someone breaking someones heart and making them sad. My favourite part of this song is "I have - I've got to stop smiling It gives the wrong impression I love you all the same" i absolutely love this part. All in all though a quality song! xXxXx
