All alone, flesh and bone, evil carved in stone
Smell the fear
Somewhere up in these hills awaits the darkest chills
Can you hear?

Where are you gonna go?
There's nowhere to go now
Trapped in this world, you're lost forever

There's nobody here to save you
There's nobody near to hear you
There's nobody here to save you
There's nobody near to hear you

In this place, in this time and space
Fear, hate, and evil awaits you
Soon the siren will reign, better run from the pain
Before the darkness will eat you

Go, Go, Get away now
Go, Go, Run away now
Go, Go, Get away now
Go, Go..Go

Where are you gonna go?
There's nowhere to go now
Trapped in this world, you're lost forever

There's nobody here to save you
There's nobody near to hear you

There's nobody here to save you
There's nobody near to hear you

There's nobody here to save you
There's nobody near to hear you

There's nobody here to save you
There's nobody near to hear you

    Wow....first comment. Anyway, this song reminds me a lot of Silent Hill. The whole concept of being trapped in darkness with everything coming to get you. And never really escape from Silent Hill. ("Trapped in this world you're lost forever") Also with the sirens. In Silent Hill a siren sounds when the "darkness" is about to come. I think it's pretty cool.

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.

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
