In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one.

On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. 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.
