The days are full of storybook romance,
the myriad of thoughtful acts
A million ways I'm into you,
I'm never getting over you
I'm sorry for exposing you,
I know you hate it when I do
But I had to write one for my better half
The days are new, the nights unwind
You break my world, you change my mind
Run out of love, come down from life
Run out of pain, my life has changed
It's obvious it's all been said in cheesy poems and chick flicks
The mushy shit that people say, it makes us chuckle everyday
So how can I express to you the recent dramas we've been through
I wouldn't have been fine without your help
The days are new, the nights unwind
You touch my world, you change my life
Run out of love, run out of life
Come down from hate, the world has changed
But we may never have met if it weren't for him
Hey Derrick, maybe somehow you're listening
Today's mantra is gratitude
You changed my life
I'm sure you knew I'll never forget the words that you said
The life that you lead
I'll never forget I'll never forget
I'll never forget I'll never forget

    I love this song. I read an interview with the capper and he said how this album is dedicated to Derrick (Lagwagons old drummer who passed away) and how Derrick left Lagwagon because Joey was writing to many songs about girls (emo lyrics). So this song is about Joey's girl, and its on this album because Derrick is the reason why Joey and her met. I love the lyric "But I had to write one for my better half" Kinda like he's explaining himself to Derrick, for writing a song about a girl on Derricks album. This song rocks

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

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.

Punchline

Midnight
Ed Sheeran
“Midnight” is a song about finding a love that is so true that it provides a calming feeling through every storm. Ed Sheeran reflects on his good fortunes in landing someone with such peace and support and speaks of not fearing the dark days because he knows they’ll all end in the safety nets of her arms. “Well, good morning there / What a way to start the day / With everything laid bare,” Ed Sheeran sings in the first verse, enthusiastic to be waking up beside his woman. He apologizes for missing her calls in the second verse and promises to return them because for him, speaking to her is the most important thing. “Well, I get lost inside my head / In this chaos, you’re my calm / And I will find my feet again / ‘Cause еven the worst days of my life will always еnd / At midnight in your arms,” sings Ed Sheeran in the chorus, revelling in his good luck.
