This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Morning seems strange, almost out of place
Searched hard for you and your special ways
These days
These days
Spent all my time, learnt a killer's art
Took threats and abuse 'til I'd learned the part
Can you stay
For these days?
These days
These days
Used outward deception to get away
Broken-heart romance to make it pay
These days
These days
We'll drift through it all, it's the modern age
Take care of it all now these debts are paid
Can you stay
For these days?
Searched hard for you and your special ways
These days
These days
Spent all my time, learnt a killer's art
Took threats and abuse 'til I'd learned the part
Can you stay
For these days?
These days
These days
Used outward deception to get away
Broken-heart romance to make it pay
These days
These days
We'll drift through it all, it's the modern age
Take care of it all now these debts are paid
Can you stay
For these days?

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

“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.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
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.
One of my favorite JD songs! I always thought it was about an uptick in Ian's mood ("These Days" being happy days) since the lyrics are actually a bit optimistic ("now that these debts are paid") and speak about having someone else to face the world with. Also the music is really punky and happy sounding! For Joy Division anyway...
