Tell me how long have you been here
Tell me how long have you been creep
Creeping around
Those webs that you're spinning have got you caught up in them now

All the windows are shut and the doors are locked but you're crawling
Crawilng back to me now

Leave me alone
Leave me alone
Leave me

Leave me alone
Leave me alone
Leave me

Oh
Time can heal everything

My heart is slowly dropping
My speech is starting to slur
39 days to remission
You left a scar to remind me but you left no cure

All the windows are shut and the doors are locked but you're crawling
Crawilng back to me now

Leave me alone
Leave me alone
Leave me

Leave me alone
Leave me alone
Leave me

Oh
Time can heal everything

You've gotten under my skin
I'm hallucenating
I can't sleep at night

You've gotten under my skin
Irregular breathing
I can't live

All the windows are shut and the doors are locked but you're crawling
Crawilng back to me now

Leave me alone
Leave me alone
Leave me

Leave me alone
Leave me alone
Leave me

Oh
Time can heal everything

    I think this song has a little bit to do with the situation of Stacy's are blood platelet disorder called Idiopathic thrombonecytopenia. and maybe some relationship problems at the same time? I may be wrong. but I'm just guessing :) either way, beautiful song.

    Although Stacy wrote the song about her illness, this song could also apply to other illnesses as well, for example depression. I love this song, because it's funky and unique. I could listen to this 24/7 and not get sick of it.

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
“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.
