If you're not with us you are against us

I love you now
But I've loved you not
I am a run away
That turned to dust
I just hope to find a way to keep it together
Shocks me how we beat the weather
Too much time done on fighting
Ocean feels of dying
There's no need to be afraid
When the tea is on it's way
To the night we go again
Yeah

[Chorus]
Bravery if you are against us
Bravery if you think you can take us
Bravery if you think you can beat us
If you're not with us you are against us

We have human rights
Too many wrongs
It's so damn hard
Since you've been gone
Give me those I give
And those I take
Whatever you
Please don't break
I need you now
More than before
I look around
See strangers more

There's no need to be afraid
Saraton on it's way
Into the night we go again
Yeah

[Chorus: x2]

The summer roll
Into tomorrow
I got regrets
Still make you hollow
Colors in the mirror
Everyday, yeah, is getting clearer

If you're not with us
If you're not with us
If you're not with us
You are against us
If you're not with us
You are against us

[Chorus: x2]

If you're not with us then you are against us

Brain-freeze
Brain-freeze
Brain-freeze
Brain-freeze

    corrections from the lyrics book:

    Oceans and fields of dying

    It's been so damn hot since you've been gone

    there'll be those that give and those that take

    there's no need to be afraid serotonin's on its way

    so we roll on- into tomorrow dumb regrets still make you hollow karma is in the mirror

    and it's neither "bravery" nor "brain freeze" it's "brain free" every time

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

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.

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

American Town
Ed Sheeran

The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
