Well, here we are again
Throwing punchlines, no one wins
As the morning sun begins to rise, we're fading fast
And we won't work this out

No, we're not gonna work this out tonight
(We won't work this out) no, we're not gonna make this right
So I'll give a kiss and say goodbye
(Give a kiss goodbye) 'cause we're not gonna work this out, tonight

Every single word's been said (whoa-oh-oh)
Broke each other's hearts again (ohh-oh-oh)
As the starlit sky begins to shine, we're breaking down
She screams out

No, we're not gonna work this out tonight
(We won't work this out) no, we're not gonna make this right
So I'll give a kiss and say goodbye
(Give a kiss goodbye) 'cause we're not gonna work this out, tonight

(Oh, oh, tonight, tonight, oh, oh, oh) we don't have to fight, tonight
(Oh, oh, tonight, tonight, oh, oh, oh) we just gotta try
Tonight (we gotta work this out)
(Oh, oh, tonight, tonight, oh, oh, oh) we don't have to fight, tonight
(Oh, oh, tonight, tonight, oh, oh, oh) we just gotta try
Tonight

No, we're not gonna work this out tonight
(We won't work this out) no, we're not gonna make this right
So I'll give a kiss and say goodbye
(Give a kiss goodbye) 'cause we're not gonna work this out, tonight

Well, there's no need to fight, we're just wasting time
(Tonight) if you give it a try well then maybe you'll find
(We might work this out) well, we know we're in love so let's keep it alive
Keep it alive, keep it alive (tonight)
I'm starting to see the morning light
We finally worked this out

    My Opinion

    this isn't music. this is banal pop major label bullshit.

    Led Zeppelin is music. Jimi Hendrix is music. Death From Above 1979 is music. Tool is music. and Nirvana is music.

    these bands talked about things that mattered, and played their music with motherfucking heart.

    but not The Jonas Brothers. this is pure fucking filth. this is garbage and you people who like them make me and many other people fucking SICK.

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

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.

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.

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.
