may it rain on you forever.
we are all alone together.
crippled by selective memory.
choose which lie to believe.
one man heartstring tug-of-war.
the more i love the more you leave.
i hate you with all my heart.
counting on the law of threes.
fool me once, shame on you.
fool me twice, shame on me.
there's something not right that can't be made right.
everything in focus now.
gag and vomit at the sight.
it seems you've forgotten about the gifts i had to give.
if this is the case, perhaps i'll forget to forgive.
i hate you with all my heart.
counting on the law of threes.
fool me once, shame on you.
fool me twice, shame on me.
may it rain on you forever.
we are all alone together.

*soundclip*
A: tell me, what is the problem with the modern world? lots of things. money, materialism, obsession of money. where is god in the modern world?
B: there is no god in this modern world; they don't believe in god anymore.
A: what is the problem with the modern world?
C: modern world is a confusion, it's a world turned upside-down. it's brutal, it's schizophrenic, it's totally chaotic. all the time we are told to take, to posess, to own, to fill up our lives with material things. but in our hearts we know these things are useless. but we despise men who measure themselves by the car they drive, house they live in, their money. they walk these streets, but i am dreaming of another universe. modern life gives me nothing but false promises, it wants to corrupt me, it wants to devour me, it wants to take the sky and wind from me.

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.

Punchline
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.
