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”
Constantly putting fat tracks on your racks
It's SEV, yeah and we're known for that fact
So ease back ,relax, while we collect plaques
It's alright now, just jump in the sack
You keep playing know what I'm saying
It's alright, I gotta full of envy
And a fist full of fight
Right down to the last drop
Bash me down & don't stop
Keep your shit talking
It will put me on top
There's somethin happening here,
what could it be, I know you see
I came close to the edge, but I didn't go over
Now's the time to fight the crime,
I'm in like a soldier
Every time I put on my shoes, I'm out the door
Moving that ass on the dance floor
Beats, Beats, Beats, Beats, Beats in my head
When I go to sleep, they're waiting for me in my bed
Pull over undercover, every night a different lover
Discover when we take this mic, there's no other
There's somethin happening here,
what could it be, I know you see
247-365 this type of shit it happens all the time.
247-365 this type of shit is gonna blow your mind
247-365 days of every year, ya know we will survive
So get back, get up, & scream out what you're thinking
How can this happen, I'm 26 & I'm still drinking
Thinking, speaking to all the people that came around
To all of our shows just to hear the sound, underground
Or whatever you want to call it
So get your bags packed now. Why? We just started
There's somethin happening here,
what could it be, I know you see
247-365 this type of shit it happens all the time.
247-365 this type of shit is gonna blow your mind
It's SEV, yeah and we're known for that fact
So ease back ,relax, while we collect plaques
It's alright now, just jump in the sack
You keep playing know what I'm saying
It's alright, I gotta full of envy
And a fist full of fight
Right down to the last drop
Bash me down & don't stop
Keep your shit talking
It will put me on top
There's somethin happening here,
what could it be, I know you see
I came close to the edge, but I didn't go over
Now's the time to fight the crime,
I'm in like a soldier
Every time I put on my shoes, I'm out the door
Moving that ass on the dance floor
Beats, Beats, Beats, Beats, Beats in my head
When I go to sleep, they're waiting for me in my bed
Pull over undercover, every night a different lover
Discover when we take this mic, there's no other
There's somethin happening here,

247-365 this type of shit it happens all the time.

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.
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” 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.
American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
