This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
I don't wanna lose this one before it is too late
Things just have a way of slipping through my fingers
When the strongest of convictions sort of gets bent out of shape
When the gnawing claw of doubt still lingers
You don't lose, don't lose
No pieces will you lose
After all you've done for me
It's the least I can do for you
You don't lose, don't lose
No pieces will you ever lose
After all you've done for me
As lonely as the final leaf swept from the barren tree
And the drugs, they don't go deep enough to set you free
And the fan blades reflect halo effects when I look up and see you
When the words won't frame the room you're in, pictures will have to do
To live inside these ruins where you move without a sound
Oh, to live inside these moments and die outside your town
Oh, to break forth into sonnets
Oh Lord, keep me coming back
The stories that you tell your head to keep your heart intact
Things just have a way of slipping through my fingers
When the strongest of convictions sort of gets bent out of shape
When the gnawing claw of doubt still lingers
You don't lose, don't lose
No pieces will you lose
After all you've done for me
It's the least I can do for you
You don't lose, don't lose
No pieces will you ever lose
After all you've done for me
As lonely as the final leaf swept from the barren tree
And the drugs, they don't go deep enough to set you free
And the fan blades reflect halo effects when I look up and see you
When the words won't frame the room you're in, pictures will have to do
To live inside these ruins where you move without a sound
Oh, to live inside these moments and die outside your town
Oh, to break forth into sonnets
Oh Lord, keep me coming back
The stories that you tell your head to keep your heart intact

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.
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.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
