This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Jenny's got a nose ring and tattoo on her skin
All her friends are doin' it
And she wants to fit in
It's not about rebellion
She just has a need
To feel like she belongs
Her mama takes one look at her
And flies into a rage says,
"When you gonna grow up child
And learn to act your age?"
But when a young girl's cry for attention
Lies beyond her mama's comprehension, it's just
Human beings being human
Not sure what they're doing
Trying to do the best they can
Just human beings being human
Every woman, child, and man
Harry's turning 49, his hair is turning gray
Now he's acting like he's longing
For his glory days
He buys a Harley, dyes his hair,
He's lifting weights and wearing new cologne
His wife of 20 years is worried
Where it's gonna lead
Will he turn to someone else
To fill his every need?
Lately she's afraid
He's gonna leave her
But he's just doing all
He can to keep her, it's just
Human beings being human
Not sure what they're doing
Trying to do the best they can
Just human beings being human
Every woman child and man
Sometimes we doubt sometimes we fear
Often wonder why we're here
Where do we fit in the plan
We're all bound to make mistakes
And when we do
It helps to understand it's just
Human beings, being human
Not sure what they're doing
Trying to do the best they can
Just human beings being human
Every woman, child, and man
Human beings being human
Not sure what they're doing
Trying to do the best they can
Just human beings being human
Every woman, child, and man
All her friends are doin' it
And she wants to fit in
It's not about rebellion
She just has a need
To feel like she belongs
Her mama takes one look at her
And flies into a rage says,
"When you gonna grow up child
And learn to act your age?"
But when a young girl's cry for attention
Lies beyond her mama's comprehension, it's just
Human beings being human
Not sure what they're doing
Trying to do the best they can
Just human beings being human
Every woman, child, and man
Harry's turning 49, his hair is turning gray
Now he's acting like he's longing
For his glory days
He buys a Harley, dyes his hair,
He's lifting weights and wearing new cologne
His wife of 20 years is worried
Where it's gonna lead
Will he turn to someone else
To fill his every need?
Lately she's afraid
He's gonna leave her
But he's just doing all
He can to keep her, it's just
Human beings being human
Not sure what they're doing
Trying to do the best they can
Just human beings being human
Every woman child and man
Sometimes we doubt sometimes we fear
Often wonder why we're here
Where do we fit in the plan
We're all bound to make mistakes
And when we do
It helps to understand it's just
Human beings, being human
Not sure what they're doing
Trying to do the best they can
Just human beings being human
Every woman, child, and man
Human beings being human
Not sure what they're doing
Trying to do the best they can
Just human beings being human
Every woman, child, and man

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
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.
Blue

“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
Head > Heels
