I can’t love your eyes (Its all your fault)
I’m pushing back for more (As time flies by you wait for it)
And they paralyse (And for anything at all)
I can’t let you in (Lets break away tonight)
Because that means that you win (The sands gone from the hourglass).
And its forever (We’re free at last)

You’re not the one to blame for this at all
Must have burnt this down, ashes all around
What were the questions that you had for me?
I couldn’t solve it all, so just let it be

Waiting awake by the window and
In my heart answers in the form of a question:
Why don’t we all end this with the quickness of breaking down the glass?
Now your waiting and I am ready.

Seasons are constantly changing
(Waking up, waking up to your eyes)
Time that we seem to be wasting
(You cut me out; you cut me out completely this time.)
Making up, breaking up for the last time (Time wont wait)
The reflection of, your life tells me you’re sleeping (Life wont wait)
Runaway, run from this
Cant be, cant be real.
[x2]

I can’t love your eyes (And all you are)
I’m pushing back for more (Are the mistakes that you make always)
And they paralyse (When everything’s all wrong)
I can’t let you in (Lets waste away tonight)
Because that means that you win (The sands gone from the hourglass)
And its forever (Our time has passed)

You’re not the one to blame for this at all
Must have burnt this down, ashes all around
What were the questions that you had for me?
I couldn’t solve it all, so just let it be

Fingers that tap the windowpane
Are to numb. Numb for you to feel the real pain
The kind that waits in me
Wanting something more than what this life has brought to me
Now I’m running, now I’m running

Seasons are constantly changing
(Waking up, waking up to your eyes)
Time that we seem to be wasting
(You cut me out; you cut me out completely this time.)
Making up, breaking up for the last time (Time wont wait)
The reflection of, your life tells me you’re sleeping (Life wont wait)
Runaway, run from this
Cant be, cant be real.

Seasons are constantly changing
Time that we seem to be wasting
I’m leaving now (Time won’t wait)
Don’t forget (Life won’t wait)

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
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.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
