I Hate Your Eyes

Halifax

As if your the one to talk
Trying to take what you don?t have
Whatever made you so jealous
I?m tired of being quiet
I?m sick of writing the songs that make you think that your so speciale
You never really were that speciale

I?m ready to start this riot
I?m ready to start a new democracy
Of Something like it
One for all and all against you

I.....I won?t
This makes for a perfect song
I do it one more time so I could sing this
I.....I won?t
This makes for the perfect song

Maybe later we can start one
Start a new relationship
You call it friendship or call it your second chance for you
Get on your knees and beg to me
not to call you names behind your back or to your face
your nothing but my closing window when


I.......I won?t
This makes...for a perfect song
I do it one more time so I could sing this
I.....I won?t
This makes.....for the perfect song

It?s up to you for this
Should we just call it off
I?ve tried so many times before
It?s up to you for this
Should we just call it off
iT?s up to you for this
Cuz I?m gonna set it off

Come on angel...let?s talk this over
Come on angel
Come on angel...let?s talk this over
Come on angel

I.......I won?t
This makes...for a perfect song
I do it one more time so I could sing this
I.....I won?t
This makes.....for the perfect song

    i think this song is about how mike once had a girl that was quite into him, and even after they broke up and mike had moved on and found a new girl, she kept holding onto her feelings. all he wanted was friendship. she gets jealous of this new girl and mike gets fed up with her "whatever made you so jealous", "you never really were that special" she wanted more then just friendship, and he just wanted to "talk it over."

    I think its about a girl that broke the guys heart and how he has mixed emotions. Throughout almost the whole song, he is all mad and is like im gonna kick your ass cause your a bitch. but then at the end. hes saying he wants to talk it over and that they should get back together or w/e anyway amazing song. my FAV by far from halifax

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
Ed Sheeran
“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.
