And you, and you came to me like my alarm
I carved your first and last name in my arm
Now I only wear black so maybe then you will see
I'm just a shadow of what I'm not supposed to be
You fuel my fire with your laughs and with your frowns
You call me a freak and join the circus you clown
I heard a man say that I do it for attention
I never thought of that but now that you mention...
No I never drank blood before but I look like I might
with my face painted white

For just this once I wish you'd all just hear what I have to say
For just this once I wish you'd all just turn and fade away
For just this once I wish you'd all just hear what I have to say
For just this once I wish you'd all just turn and fade away

(But! But! But!) But now-a-day's are different from way back when
so hard to be yourself when your 4+10
For the very first time I feel kind of special
My mom says be normal yet she just got a facial
If my parents go away on their trip to Club Med
Then I'll join your tour and be a real dead head
I heard a girl say that I do it for attention
I never thought of that but now that you mention...
I spent my last ten bucks today on black hair dye
You know dye rhymes with die

For just this once I wish you'd all just turn and fade away
For just this once I wish you'd all just hear what I have to say
For just this once I wish you'd all just turn and fade away
For just this once I wish you'd all just hear what I have
Just hear what I have to say

oooooooooh ooooooooh ooooooooh

A psycho killer
Well qu'est-ce c'est

It doesn't matter any way
It matters anyway

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.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
