[Chorus]
I'm a man on fire
It's a burning thing
It'll burn on forever
If you feed me baby
I'm a man on fire
An eternal flame
It'll burn on forever
If you feed me baby, oh

Gotta be a place to go in the midnight hour
Heart of a woman and just a little bit of pulling power
The feeling's got me
I don't know what it means
I know it must be wrong
But when you love somebody you dream, and I dream
I save the love down deep inside me for the moment when you come
And you're there, and you're gone
And I'm alive for you
And my love keeps hanging on

There is no life
No reason to go on believing in the stronger love
There is no unifying, if I don't hear you crying
I'm yours, you're mine, no power in the world
Together we are strong in love
And when your storm is over, I'll show how warm my love can be
And me, I'm a man on fire

[Chorus]

Ready when the lightning strikes and he deed is done
I'm not a beginner
But I'm a sinner when the heat is on
Nothing gonna stop me, got me all that you need
Woman, when you need somebody
A woman with a face and a body, you dream, and I dream

I save the love down deep inside me for the moment when you come
And you're there and you're gone
And I'm alive for you
And my love keeps hanging on

There is no life
No reason to go on believing in the stronger love
There is no unifying, if I don't hear you crying
I'm yours, you're mine, no power in the world
Together we are strong enough
And when your storm is over, I'll show how warm my love can me
And me, I'm a man on fire

[Chorus]

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.

Punchline
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.

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.
