Rosie
Oh I know we're both being used
Don't make no sense
Just to carry on as we do

you know I'd love you if I knew you'd let me down (x2)
Oh we need to get away (yeah we want to get away)
But we'll never get away now

it's easy when it hurts so say goodbye
We'll fall in love again just give it time
It's easy when it hurts so say goodbye
We'll fall in love again just give it pain

rosie
Oh I know we both feel confused
Don't make no sense
Just to carry on as we do

I know you'd love me if you knew I'd let you down (x2)
Oh we need to get away (yeah we want to get away)
But we'll never get away now

it's easy when it hurts so say goodbye
We'll fall in love again just give it time
It's easy when it hurts so say goodbye
We'll fall in love again just give it pain

don't let your love be colder than death
Don't let no tear drops fall from your eyes
Don't let your love be colder than death
Don't let no tear drops fall from your eyes

it's easy when it hurts so say goodbye
We'll fall in love again just give it time
It's easy when it hurts so say goodbye
We'll fall in love again just give it pain

it's easy when it hurts..

    I interpret it as two people are just fucking, and both are trying to get over someone else who must have reallu hurt them. when it says "you know i'd love you is i knew you'd let me down" just shows his cynicism towards love-he loved someone and she let him down. and that person is all he is thinking about in this new relationship and he knows they are using eachother, so he just wants to get out of it.

    !!!!

    I'm practically wet with excitement! There're more lyrics up, baby!!

    Anyways, I'll give this a shot.

    I think this song is about a girl who had--as the saying goes--built walls, and was too scared to act on the love she felt for the author?

    Maybe?

    Or maybe this song just means that they banged eachother and it got awkward. c:

    Either way, I love this song. It's one of my all time favourites.

This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but 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.
