Da da, da da da
Da da da, da da da da

What just happened?
Did you kiss me?
'Cause that's a place we've never been until now

And I don't know how it's gonna be after this
Do we pretend these feelings don't exist at all
Or do we fall?

My confusion shows whenever you get so close
I stumble, I stutter, forget what to say
I'm nervous, I wonder why I'm acting this way

It's temporary insanity
What's going on with you and me?
Is it real or is it fantasy?
Forever or just temporary?

Whoa, oh, oh (insanity)
Whoa, oh, oh

You made a moved and changed your mind
Too much to lose, you've crossed the line between friends
And something more

Was it all a big mistake?
And if it was, it's much too late to undo
And I don't really want to

Let you go but I still don't know
How I feel about you
What this really means
It's crazy to want you
Is it meant to be?

It's temporary insanity
What's going on with you and me?
Is it real or is it fantasy?
Forever or just temporary?

It's temporary insanity
What's going on with you and me?
Is it real or is it fantasy?
Forever or just temporary?

Whoa, oh, oh (insanity)
Whoa, oh, oh

Oh, what you do to me?
What comes over me, oh?
If this is crazy there's nothing I'd rather be

Da, da da da, da da
Da, da da da, da da
Da, da da da, da da

It's temporary insanity
What's going on with you and me?
Is it real or is it fantasy?
Forever or just temporary?
It's temporary insanity
What's going on with you and me?
Is it real or is it fantasy?
Forever or just temporary?

Losin' my mind
Losin' my mind
Losin' my mind

Losin' my mind
Losin' my mind
Losin' my mind

Da, da da da, da da da
Da, da da da, da da da
Da, da da da, da da da
Da, da da da, da da da
Da, da da da, da da da
Da, da da da, da da da
Da, da da da, da da da
Da, da da da, da da da
Da, da da da, da da da
(Da, da da da, da da da)

    Alexz Johnson puts more emotion to the song than The Weekend does.

    Ok. This song has got to be like my favourite by her atm! It's so ridiculously relatable, it's not even funny. Basically, this guy she's known for a while (probably a friend) just kissed her and now she's all uncertain how to preceed (even if she does like him) cus she doesn't want to screw up their friendship or anything. She doesn't know whether to start being 'with' him or whether to pretend the ordeal didn't happen, move on but then lose the chance (hence the 'do we pretned these feelings don't...). She's also confused as to why she has begun feeling nervous around this guy she used to be so comfortable with. She's confused and not sure what to do. She wants to know whether it's just a phase or whether it could last (hence the 'it's temporary insanity. what's going on with you and me? is it real or is it fantasy? forever or just temporary...'). She begins to wonder (maybe he says something or begins to act weird or distant) if maybe it was a mistake but if it was, it can'tbe undone cus they're more than friends now. And although she wonders if messing with their friendship was a mistake, she doesn't know if she'd want it to be any different cus she's happy and falling for this guy (and maybe realizing they could be sooo perfect). So although she's confused and nervous and hesitant, she's pretty happy with the mental confusion cus she has him. She just wants to know how to proceed so she doesn't screw too much more up (if they can only be just friends)

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.

Amazing
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.
