Secret says she's tired
Secret says she might like today
I'm full of sympathy
That's what she needs from me

I tell my secret a story
Secret says they help her sleep at night
I offer reasoning
When she's not listening

I want us to survive
I dream of ways to make her think
We're happy all the time
I dream all day

Seeing questions all the time
Instead of gazing in her eyes
She's getting tired of things you do
Getting tired of minding you

I know my secret's trying
I know she doesn't have to understand
She lets me lean on her
She acts as counselor

And though we never argue
Secret has a guideline just for me
Pretend we're friends again
Therefore she counts to ten

I want us to survive
I dream of ways to make her think
We're happy all the time
I dream all day

Seeing questions all the time
Instead of gazing in her eyes
She's getting tired of things you do
Getting tired of minding you

While I'm lying alone in bed
Thinking over what she said
She's getting tired of things you do
Getting tired of minding you

I wonder if she'd say
If she was going to leave
Oh Secret likes her game
As much as I like panicking

I want us to survive
I dream of ways to make her think
We're happy all the time
I dream all day

While I"m lying alone in bed
Thinking over what she said
She's getting tired of things you do
Getting tired of minding you
She's getting tired of things you do
Getting tired of minding you

    I love this song. It sounds like he has a best firend he silently loves but she is already with someone and she's confused.

    Is the line "what a line???" not "While I'm lying alone in bed"

    the line "a secret???" is "Oh secret likes her game."

    the line "getting tired of minding you" is it not actually "tired of knowing you."

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.

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.

Midnight
Ed Sheeran
“Midnight” is a song about finding a love that is so true that it provides a calming feeling through every storm. Ed Sheeran reflects on his good fortunes in landing someone with such peace and support and speaks of not fearing the dark days because he knows they’ll all end in the safety nets of her arms. “Well, good morning there / What a way to start the day / With everything laid bare,” Ed Sheeran sings in the first verse, enthusiastic to be waking up beside his woman. He apologizes for missing her calls in the second verse and promises to return them because for him, speaking to her is the most important thing. “Well, I get lost inside my head / In this chaos, you’re my calm / And I will find my feet again / ‘Cause еven the worst days of my life will always еnd / At midnight in your arms,” sings Ed Sheeran in the chorus, revelling in his good luck.
