This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
i, i can see right through your plastic frames
you've been kissing with no shame
and your lipstick starts to smear but you don't give a damn
well, we're in like sin, the way your body starts to bend
i can't keep up when you have started to take control
and heaven and hell don't mean a thing when your lying in bed with me
the more i kiss you the more i touch you
you make me want to scream
i can't waste my time when everything you haves already mine
it goes to show when chills run down your spine
the more you fake it, i'll take it
just as long as i can break you to the bone
i can feel the way you start to breathe
your body wont let me be
the night is lost just like our innocence
and well we're in like sin your body's calling me again
i can't keep up when you have started to take control
and heaven and hell don't mean a thing when your lying in bed with me
the more i kiss you the more i touch you
you make me want to scream
i can't waste my time when everything you haves already mine
it goes to show when chills run down your spine
the more you fake it, i'll take it
just as long as i can break you to the bone
i, i can see right through your plastic frames
you've been kissing with no shame
and your lipstick starts to smear but you don't give a damn
and well we're in like sin your body's calling me again
i can't keep up when you have started to take control
i can't waste my time when everything you haves already mine
it goes to show when chills run down your spine
the more you fake it, i'll take it
just as long as i can break you to the bone
you've been kissing with no shame
and your lipstick starts to smear but you don't give a damn
well, we're in like sin, the way your body starts to bend
i can't keep up when you have started to take control
and heaven and hell don't mean a thing when your lying in bed with me
the more i kiss you the more i touch you
you make me want to scream
i can't waste my time when everything you haves already mine
it goes to show when chills run down your spine
the more you fake it, i'll take it
just as long as i can break you to the bone

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.

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.
about losing yourself in lust for one night... seems to be a prevalent theme in this album =]
definitely about lust. and about going after what you want
Ok, I must admit to it: Just Surrender, Melodically speaking, can't write bad music. This is fun to listen too. But the lyrics are horrible! The theme of lust is way to prevalent in this album...they've changed from wanting the relationship forever to having one night stands...lets hope things even out on the third album whenever it comes out.
