I walk the line
Of the disappointed
I celebrate
When I am in pain
My heart and mind
Can be as jointed
I built a bed in this hole I’ve made
I recognize that I am damaged
I sympathize that you are too
I wanna breathe
When I am feeling so self conscience
But it’s hard when the world
Is starring at you

Another piece of the puzzle
That doesn’t fit
You throw your arms up
You’re so damn sick of it
What are you working for?
What are you searching for?
Love
You wont be thinking of cars when
You’re on your death bed and dieing
You’ll only be thinking of
What you were paying for
What you were praying for
Love

You join the line
Of the getting richer
You keep your pace
But it’s moving slow
You are define by all that you are holding
But you are surprised it doesn’t fill up the hole

Another piece of the puzzle
That doesn’t fit
You throw your arms up
You’re so damn sick of it
What are you coping for?
What are you hoping for?
Love

You wont be thinking of cars when
You’re on your death bed and dieing
You’ll only be thinking of
What you were paying for
What you were praying for
Love

I’ll never be what I see on the TV screen
Ill just keeping dreaming of what I am never gonna be
I can’t think of a better way
To waste my time than try

Another piece of the puzzle
That doesn’t fit
You throw your arms up
You’re so damn sick of it
What are you hurting for?
What are you searching for?
Love

You won’t be thinking of cars when
You’re on your death bed and dieing
You’ll only be thinking of
What you were paying for
What you were praying for
Love

You won’t be thinking of cars when
You’re on your death bed and dieing
You’ll only be thinking of
What are you working for?
What are you waiting for?

    Can't believe there's no comments here. this is such a good song. "You won’t be thinking of cars when You’re on your death bed and dieing You’ll only be thinking of What are you working for? What are you waiting for?" It's self-explanatory. What are you living for? You're not going to think of that car you want when you're dying, you'll be asking yourself what you did with your life.

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.

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.

Plastic Bag
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.
