This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
I can't talk to you
You think I'm lost inside my mind
You're like an old tattoo
And I know you'll fade in time
I'm not the girl you think you know
I'm not the girl you waited for
I'm not the one for you
It's just one thing left to do
Why don't you let me be
Cause I'm a million miles away
Why don't you set me free
Cause you don't treat me like you said
I won't tuck you in one last time
I'm taking back what is mine
For me
I belong to me, yeah
[Chorus]
I'm going faster
You're going backwards
You're going to miss me when I'm gone
I hang from the ceiling
I feel what I'm feeling
Should've been feeling it all along
I'm going faster
I'm going faster
That's the last black eye
I hope I ever give to you
Yeah, I had a good time
But what's a girl supposed to do
Take the pictures off the wall
They don't look like us at all
They don't look like friends
I've got new things to begin
Why don't you let me be
Cause I'm a million miles away
Why don't you set me free
I belong to me
[Chorus]
I'm going faster
I'm going faster
[Chorus]
I'm going faster
I'm going faster
You think I'm lost inside my mind
You're like an old tattoo
And I know you'll fade in time
I'm not the girl you think you know
I'm not the girl you waited for
I'm not the one for you
It's just one thing left to do
Why don't you let me be
Cause I'm a million miles away
Why don't you set me free
Cause you don't treat me like you said
I won't tuck you in one last time
I'm taking back what is mine
For me
I belong to me, yeah
[Chorus]
I'm going faster
You're going backwards
You're going to miss me when I'm gone
I hang from the ceiling
I feel what I'm feeling
Should've been feeling it all along
I'm going faster
I'm going faster
That's the last black eye
I hope I ever give to you
Yeah, I had a good time
But what's a girl supposed to do
Take the pictures off the wall
They don't look like us at all
They don't look like friends
I've got new things to begin
Why don't you let me be
Cause I'm a million miles away
Why don't you set me free
I belong to me
[Chorus]
I'm going faster
I'm going faster
[Chorus]
I'm going faster
I'm going faster

No Surprises
Radiohead
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.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“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.
I absolutely agree. I've been caught in a transition; the ending of a relationship. I had no words, just emotions. And then I heard this song and finally, it all made sense.
I'm a million miles away.
