This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
call your cancer
call it well
the truth?
my friend we know you're scared
do you pray and beg for time?
it's staring you in the face. goodnight
i chose the less than traveled road
the rest of the country must know something
yeah there's nothing quite like the truth
come make us see-ers and believers in you
you're making it hard for everyone-oh
(it's the money and the church)
you're making it hard for everyone-oh
(they're trading old souls in for new ones)
you're making it hard for everyone
the fear in your head is true in time
a doctor's note:
"this is the end of the line."
and there's only two to know
through the fields and through the snow
you're making it hard for everyone-oh
(you bet on boxing-he'll bet on jesus)
you're making it hard for everyone-oh
(so glad to know we'll die for gods we'll never meet)
you're making it hard for everyone
i get a little bit of reason
i give a little bit back tonight
and there's something with this season
yeah there's nothing that's right
it makes everything right tonight
calm your conscience
call it well
if you don't you'll burn in hell
at least that's what the righteous say
they'll fight forever to get your soul
jump in these dead leaves and all our fall-inspired songs
for loss of words we'll make music for you to dance along to
you're making it hard for everyone-oh
(as you're claiming you're wise to the afterlife)
you're making it hard for everyone-oh
you're making it hard for everyone
call it well
the truth?
my friend we know you're scared
do you pray and beg for time?
it's staring you in the face. goodnight
i chose the less than traveled road

you're making it hard for everyone

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.
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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.
Head > Heels

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
This song in my opinion is about God. He is upset because these bible beaters are going around and "trading old souls for new ones" and the churches are only there go get money. They tell everyone that if they aren't right with God that when their time runs out they'll burn in hell. He is saying to God that by allowing all of this to happen, He's making it hard for everyone to believe in him. Just my take on it, I'll ask Justin what it really means next time I see him. Peace.
