These thoughtless nights have put me through so much pain
Just the thought of being without you for days
i never knew i could love someone so much
i've lost track of hours since our lips have touched
and now i realize how much you mean to me
what i came up with is without you theres no meaning
how can 5 days without you feel like months
how can three years with you feel like seconds

we'll never know until we follow our dreams
and my dream is a future with you and me
cause i believe that this is destiny
and i can give you everything you need
for you i'd give up everything

you mean the world to me
i would give up everything

(when i told you i loved you i meant every word
so tell me now can i keep you?)

we'll never know until we follow our dreams
and my dream is a future with you and me
cause i believe that this is destiny
and i can give you everything you need
for you i'd give up everything
You mean the world to me

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.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
