I like the song but I’m surprised they are releasing it as a single.

Blasphemy. Try again next week, maybe it's contextual for you cuz this song is why Ed can say it's their best work!!
Or maybe it's just contextual for me. for instance I love alluding to the word tunnel. it reminds me of hanging out with Jeremy and some other guy in a tunnel hiding from fans and playing guitar for the really good echoing sound. I also love when Ed sings "left the water running". it's really pathetic that we still teach kids to turn the water off when they brush their teeth and they can save the world. I also like him saying coming a lot, and divin deep Bens is pretty cool too.
this was the only one that gave me pause from the Spin interview. Got the impression that the interviewer was thrown by its inclusion. Glad it lands for me.
You got me running got me running but the (something) never ends

lost in the tunnel and the tunnel aint no fun now I hope you know the shit your pushing
control us control us
lost in the tunnel and the tunnel's getting funneled like the sewage in the plumbing cuz we left the fucking water running

OK song, bad choice for a single as there’s almost nothing memorable to cling to. Ironic cause I think Dark Matter was one of the better single choices they’ve made in their career. However both songs have maybe the worst sounding drums/vox since self titled, hopefully a non mp3 version will sound better.

A little like Supersonic meets Comatose. I can hear a little Offspring "Come out and play" in there. Now standing back from the dissection table, I love it, I love this and Dark Matter. Can't wait to hear the rest of the album.

Preference to Dark Matter being better but loving the shorter tunes not everything needs to be 6 mintues!
Strange choice as the 2nd single though
