This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Everybody wants a piece of some easy enterprise
can't this world cut your face and carry the news that you've got a gift to be given?
cut it out cut your loss, you don't dream you fantasize
and this is how we measure the cost of enjoying the pain of 21 year of good living
when you look at me do you see someone with a future?
music to my ears it makes me happy when you tell me
this place is like a womb you live so well from doing nothing
one day you will learn there is some beauty in the thing that makes you sweat
gotta take something great just to get me out of bed
and I woke up with a song 'cause I had a dream, yes I had a vision of people
lying in the sun
sleeping on the rocks and stones
waiting just to die
they were just fast asleep like lions
they were just fast asleep like lions in summer
when you look at me do you see someone with a future?
music to my ears it makes you happy when you tell me
this place is like a womb you live so well from doing nothing
one day you will learn there is some beauty in the thing that makes you
swear all the years of wasted time
half divine
half what you could be
oh, all this time they let this city
get sad and empty
'cause they're only half awake
oh, all this time they let this city
get sad and empty
'cause they're only half awake
when you look at me do you see someone with a future?
one day you will learn there is some beauty in the thing that makes you sweat
can't this world cut your face and carry the news that you've got a gift to be given?
cut it out cut your loss, you don't dream you fantasize
and this is how we measure the cost of enjoying the pain of 21 year of good living
when you look at me do you see someone with a future?
music to my ears it makes me happy when you tell me
this place is like a womb you live so well from doing nothing
one day you will learn there is some beauty in the thing that makes you sweat
gotta take something great just to get me out of bed
and I woke up with a song 'cause I had a dream, yes I had a vision of people
lying in the sun
sleeping on the rocks and stones
waiting just to die
they were just fast asleep like lions
they were just fast asleep like lions in summer
when you look at me do you see someone with a future?
music to my ears it makes you happy when you tell me
this place is like a womb you live so well from doing nothing
one day you will learn there is some beauty in the thing that makes you
swear all the years of wasted time
half divine
half what you could be
oh, all this time they let this city
get sad and empty
'cause they're only half awake
oh, all this time they let this city
get sad and empty
'cause they're only half awake
when you look at me do you see someone with a future?
one day you will learn there is some beauty in the thing that makes you sweat

No Surprises
Radiohead
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
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
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.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
sounds more like he doesnt think people take enough time to just sit, realize life and enjoy the earth for what it is...people are too busy working or running busy
"oh, all this time they let this city get sad and empty 'CAUSE THEYRE ONLY HALF AWAKE"
