As summer was ending, you were walking in
It seemed my life was falling
But in this season we were friends
Six days into spring, is where our story begins
You didn't rush a thing,
But you knew you would win

[Chorus]
I never thought you'd be the only one
I dreamt of fairy tales ,that's how we begun
But I was waiting for some magical moment,
That would prove to me, forever would be fine,
Meanwhile my first love, was standing first in line

One of the first times I didn't feel alone,
Is when I was in your arms
You always made me feel at home
We watched the sunrise,cause the night had slipped away
And from then until now, we've been through some different phases
But you love the winter, love the challenge,
Always managed to think that we would make it

[Chorus]

So let me get used to things, cause gradual's my name
I don't dive into the cold, I get in slow
But every day, I'm making peace with loving you,
Peace with being me
Any pieces of us
I claim them all today

[Chorus]

    TI love this song! I think the lyrics are simple . The song is about her First love and how they met, and love was unexpected. I think that the portion of the song about the seaons is metaphorical for her emotions or seasons in her life. "but you love the winter, love the challenge, always managed to think that we would make it". Winter represents a rough patch or difficult phase for the relationship that he is willing to fight through and be there at the end of the day. The song ends with her talking about how she is slowly letting her wall down and accepting the happiness that love is giving her.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

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.

American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
