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”
Yesterday I saw you sitting alone
In the corner of my favorite coffee shop
I wanted to touch your hair you face your everything else
I think I like you a lot
I wanted to learn your name your sign
are you someone else's girlfriend
Do you think you could be mine
you're so fine
And I'll say it again and again
It's happening again
Today I talked to you for the first time I even held your hand
I'm planning out our futures together
When you're gonna be my woman and I'm your man
You've got a nice ass a nice rack yeah baby
I've known it from the start
I wanted to get inside your mind your soul your pants
Inside your heart
It's happening again
Tomorrow you left me broken hearted
I thought that I had found my niche
Why did you have to screw me over?
Why did you have to be such a bitch?
If I saw you today I'd tell you
You're stupid you're ugly and you're overweight
You picked the wrong kid to mess with baby
Now it's much too late It's way too fucking late
It's happening again
But then I see you standing there again
Reminds of the time back when I first met you
And the way we were before
But then I think about it once again
And all I can think about is when you broke my heart
you stupid good-for-nothing whore
Now I see you for the girl you've always been
And I can't hear you when you say
that we should stay good friends
As far as I'm concerned this is where you end
As far as I'm concerned i never want to see you again
In the corner of my favorite coffee shop
I wanted to touch your hair you face your everything else
I think I like you a lot
I wanted to learn your name your sign
are you someone else's girlfriend
Do you think you could be mine
you're so fine
And I'll say it again and again
It's happening again
Today I talked to you for the first time I even held your hand
I'm planning out our futures together
When you're gonna be my woman and I'm your man
You've got a nice ass a nice rack yeah baby
I've known it from the start
I wanted to get inside your mind your soul your pants
Inside your heart
It's happening again
Tomorrow you left me broken hearted
I thought that I had found my niche
Why did you have to screw me over?
Why did you have to be such a bitch?
If I saw you today I'd tell you
You're stupid you're ugly and you're overweight
You picked the wrong kid to mess with baby
Now it's much too late It's way too fucking late
It's happening again
But then I see you standing there again
Reminds of the time back when I first met you
And the way we were before
But then I think about it once again
And all I can think about is when you broke my heart
you stupid good-for-nothing whore
Now I see you for the girl you've always been
And I can't hear you when you say
that we should stay good friends
As far as I'm concerned this is where you end
As far as I'm concerned i never want to see you again

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.
Magical

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

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.
Why has no one commented on this fucking song? It's the greatest song to listen to after a break-up... It's pretty simple it's meaning, I just really like the whole "yesterday I saw you," "today I talked to you," and "tomorrow you left me" as a means to convery the whole past, present, and future of the relationship... Good song to rock out to in the 3rd verse! :D
