Yeah, thought you had me played huh?
Well, check this out, yeah?
See all those times you thought you had me fooled, yeah?
You were wrong... 'cos I know... This is for you.

This is for all the times you did me wrong
And all the lady friends you strung along
I don't ever wanna see you cry
But I'm tired of your lies
This is for all the things you put me through
When Lord knows I gave my all to you
No more in and out my life
Now's the time I do things right

You can have
(You can have all your money)
(You can keep all your lies)
Keep all your lies
(You can take all of the games you played)
('Cause baby I'm saying bye bye)
(You can have all your money)
(You can keep all your lies)
Keep all your lies
(You can take all of the games you played)
('Cause baby I'm saying bye bye)

(Whatcha gonna do when)
(I'm over you and)
I wanna know baby
(Whatcha gonna do when)
(I'm over you and)
Oh I wanna know baby
(Whatcha gonna do when)
Whatcha gonna do when I'm gone

Now that I'm done trading things with you
I'm wondering who your friends are calling a fool
I must have been blind to let you in my life
Telling my friends I've found Mr. Right
I'm so much stronger now that I've left you
You wouldn't believe the changes I've been through
It won't happen to me again
I'd rather keep hanging out with my friends

You can have
(You can have all your money)
(You can keep all your lies)
Keep all your lies
(You can take all of the games you played)
('Cause baby I'm saying bye bye)
Baby I'm saying bye bye
(You can have all your money)
(You can keep all your lies)
Keep all your lies
(You can take all of the games you played)
('Cause baby I'm saying bye bye)

(Whatcha gonna do when)
Whatcha gonna do
(I'm over you and)
Tell me baby
(Whatcha gonna do)
Whatcha gonna do when I'm gone
(I'm over you and)
Let me know
(Whatcha gonna do)
Whatcha gonna do

Oh I used to cry myself to sleep at night
'Cause you never gave a damn about me
So many rumors I could write you a song
Oh how could you keep doing me wrong
Whatcha gonna do when I'm gone

Whatcha gonna do when
I'm over you and
Whatcha gonna do
Whatcha gonna do when
I'm over you and
Whatcha gonna do

Even though I hate to leave, boy
For I cry as I walk out the door
I'm saying bye bye
Bye bye, bye bye baby

Even though I hate to leave boy
For I cry as I walk out the door
I'm saying bye bye
Bye bye, bye bye baby
Gone!

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
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”

No Surprises
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.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
