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”
Hey, hey
Bye bye bye, bye bye
Bye bye
I'm doing this tonight
You're probably gonna start a fight
I know this can't be right
Hey baby come on
I loved you endlessly
When you weren't there for me
So now it's time to leave and make it alone
I know that I can't take no more
It ain't no lie
I want to see you out that door
Baby bye bye bye
(Bye bye) Don't want to be a fool for you
Just another player in your game for two
You may hate me but it ain't no lie
Baby bye bye bye
Bye bye
Don't really want to make it tough
I just want to tell you that I've had enough
It might sound crazy but it ain't no lie
Baby bye bye bye
You just hit me with the truth
Now girl you're more than welcome to
So give me one good reason
Baby come on
I've lived for you and me
And now I really come to see
That life would be much better once you're gone
I know that I can't take no more
It ain't no lie
I want to see you out that door
Baby bye bye bye
(Bye bye) Don't want to be a fool for you
Just another player in your game for two
You may hate me but it ain't no lie
Baby bye bye bye
Bye bye
Don't really want to make it tough
I just want to tell you that I've had enough
Might sound crazy but it ain't no lie
Baby bye bye bye
I'm giving up I know for sure
I don't' want to be the reason for your love no more
Bye bye
I'm checking out, I'm signing off
I don't want to be the loser, and I've had enough
I don't want to be your fool in this game for two
So I'm leaving you behind
(Bye bye bye)
I don't want to make it tough
(Make it tough)
But I've had enough
And it ain't no lie
(Bye bye) Don't want to be a fool for you
Just another player in your game for two
I don't want to be your fool
But it ain't no lie
Baby bye bye bye
Bye bye
Don't really want to make it tough
I just want to tell you that I've had enough
It might sound crazy but it ain't no lie
Bye bye
Bye bye bye, bye bye

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
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.

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.
Ya know what just pisses me off? Annoying people who post negative comments about a song or group. If you don't like *NSYNC, then why are you even looking up their stuff? Answer me that.
And its spelled they're (as in, they are) and *NSYNC, not Nysnc, and also corporate, not coprate. Learn to spell people, and grammer lessons might help too. The first letter of every sentence is capitalized, and you might want to put spaces in between sentences.
You little shitheads, it's about a guy who is leaving his girlfriend because she's a major bitch, and she is a terrible person.
NSync is talented. It's not their fault if a bunch of corporate assholes make money off their music. They are talented and it doesn't matter if their hot or not. They can write songs. How many of you could write songs as good as the ones on Celebrity. Or how many of you can actually write a good song? If you really think about it, if rock was popular right now, people would be saying death to rock and pop should come back. damn
This song is about the stock market
It was gonna be called "sell, sell, sell" but it was a buying market at the time. Figures though, because 'Buy, buy, buy" can have several meanings and Nsync needs all the meanings they can get.
The writer is struggling with the situation, he wants to buy stock but his girlfriend doesn't want him to, she's scared, and rightfully so.
But there comes a time when a guy just has to say 'Buy, buy, buy', In a relationship sense and in a stock sense.
Nsync may not be able to write songs, or sing particularly well, or even play instruments, but they sure can withstand large volumes of screaming and for that I applaud them.
It's about the members saying 'bye bye bye' to their awful manager Lou Pearlman
yes,but writing a song with meaning?that takes talent,and nsync has none anwya,they don't do ther own dance moves(well make them anyway)the dude that does though has videos on how to dance like them,for some reason people would want to,i don't know. 2 they DO NOT wrtie there own stuff??come on,a group of guys writing stuff like that,it's not that possible,granted,male sigers have written love songs,but not the same song over again recycled.if you really want to cry about us making fun of someone,go to Britney Spears lyrics,you will cry a river after what has been said about her talentless ass
and calling me a little shithead??please kiddo,your what?12,13,14??try 22 hear kid,and I have heard alot more music then you,so if you wnat to talk talent,look through the lyrics for some better stuff,hell,it don't even have to be rock at all.Just not anything from a bubblegum factory.and yeah,we knnow what the meaning for the song is,it don't take a friggin genius to figure that out
@aicguy22 wow this was such a long time ago, you're around 40 now! woah
I write my own stuff, but never recycle the same material. A lot of my songs I have recorded contain polyrhythms beneath the simplest melodies, and I don't think that I'll ever see Chasez and co ever passing any kind of musical theory exam. People that write music, all power to them, but if you can't write your own, you have no right to, if you know they're not going to turn out right.
Dude..."it's not their fault corporate assholes are making money off of their music"?! They are the ones who went to those corporate assholes and let them make money off of their music for one! And as aicguy22 said, there is better stuff out there...so much better. A.K.A stuff that isn't written with a specific goal in mind (ahem...make money off of clueless teeenagers). The majority of pop songs are written with a formula...notice how they all say the same thing just with different words? Okay...anyway...I can't believe I just wasted 2 minutes of my time...*N SYNC sucks.

---------------------------------------------------------------------- I must reply to this comment, how can you be soo fukking ignorant? they're the ones who went to the corporate assholes to get their stuff played and they're only in it for the money and AICguy22 knows what hes taking about, hes been around like 10 years longer than you have so if I was you I'd keep my mouth shut, he's right about way better music. All N'Sync or any other of these crappy boy bands is are discreet forms of american propaghanda, where the industry tells you what's cool and what you have to purchase and listen to, It saddens me to see people look up to other people to tell em what to do, as bad religion would say "everyone's looking for something, and they assume somebody else knows what it is, no one can live without the decisions of their own, it seems so they look to someone else, to tell them what to do, tell'em what to wear, tell'em what to say, tell'em how to act and think and compel others compulsively until the world is all like them" They're turning you all into their tools, so learn how to think for yourself and stop liking stuff just cuz it's popular. And Rock, wether it comes back or not, it's still an amazing scene, as is the punk scene!!!
In response to your questions, Ruby, I have written many songs which others have described as "good". But yes, I do understand your point, as much as people try and manipulate others, it is the individual, and not the accessory, who decides ones own fate. But do these guys pick the wrong direction? Having listened to many middling-"good" Westlife tracks, I'd say no, but that is open to debate.
