Quiet please, turn it off, shut it down
Slow down your tan, I'm gonna miss you a lot There it goes
Your tears again
This is no fun
There it goes
Your tears again
As you walk away
Then it's hard to tell what kind, they do look alike

Oh no that ain't what I said
Oh no that ain't what I said

Always trying to fall asleep to make my way out Looking at the ceiling,
I'm counting the days There it goes
Your man is down to the bottom
There it goes
Your man is willing to cooperate
Then it's hard to tell you kindly that ain't what I'm like

Guess I'd better find us a way out
"One time too many" I said
It's a long way to look alike
That is what you say

Slow down your tan.
I'm gonna miss you a lot
There it goes
Your ID's been stolen
They wave their hands goodbye
As you walk away
Then it's hard to tell who's kind, they do look alike

Oh no that ain't what I said
Oh no that ain't what I said

Guess I'd better find us a way out
"One time too many" I said
It's a long way to look alike
That is what you say

    Its about the lead singers relationship where infidelity was the prime cause for them to try to end the relationship but they both couldn't without one hurting the other of feeling guilty so its a vicious cycle of leaving each other

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.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.

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.
