Is it my fault if it was planned? And yes, it was.
Well then because of me your selfishness ruins everything.

Well if every moment always counts for something, then we lost this running around.

All these settings never change for better; I sent you a place and time.
I thought you could use it to learn how to love your worst despite.
I sent you down with that kid.
The one that you hated, I thought you could raise him just like you.

I can change this I swear, now that's just the voice of all your fear.
No that's not quite it. I promise ill fill his tights the best.
Well if all your mind power gives solutions like this.

And all these settings never change for better; I sent you a place and time.
I thought you could use it to learn how to love your worst despite.
I sent you down with that kid.
The one that you hated, I thought you could raise him just like you.

Then bring him back to me exactly how you wanted him to be.

All these settings never made it better; I sent you a place and time.
I thought you could use it to learn how to love your worst despite.
I sent you down with that kid.
The one that you hated, I thought you could raise him just like you.

    woohooo!

    awesome song first off. This song is quite confusing to figure out. But sounds like A broken family with problems of taking care of a kid they had when they were together. And one of the parents is having trouble accepting the kid as his or her own..

    I dunno but great song, quite catchy.

    cant wait for the new CD!

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.

Head > Heels

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.

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.
