I'm not supposed to miss you, cause you're not coming back. And I wish I never kissed you, so what do you think of that? What did I get myself into?
In the back of my mind there will always be the catch and throw away.
But this moment's got me thinking I could reach you. And I'm waking up alone and echo the song sung yesterday and begging you to come back home.

Cause you're my boomerang. My repititous twist of fate. But unexpectedly this time you don't come back to me. Still you go on and on for someone else.

This back and forth gets me going around and round. And I'm so worn out and dizzy while you knock the good ones down. Now I want to know the truth- do you even miss you?

Cause in the back of my mind I could always feel the push and pull away. And now I can see that you were leaving me.

When you're my boomerang and I tried so hard to make you stay. Without a doubt I see this time you won't come back to me.

So fly, fly, fly like a bird in the atmosphere. Glide, glide let the breeze you're feeling take you there. Fly away from me.

In the back of my mind there'll always be the catch and throw away. But this time I'll let it fly and not try to reach you. Because getting up alone will help me grow my own pair of wings and the time has come for me to fly.

Oh boomerang,I'm down to let you go, cause you're my boomerang. And the fun we had was all in vain. But unexpectedly this time you won't come back to me. Still you go on and on for someone, go on and on for someone else.

Fly, Fly, Fly like a bird in the atmosphere. Glide, glide let the breezed you're feeling take you there. Ride, ride on the wind the gets you out of here. Fly away from me.

    I really love this song. They're developing their own sound, not adapting another's. I've really liked the last few songs that they've released--"Embers and Envelopes" (new version), "Somewhere," "The House That Fire Built," and lastly, "Boomerang"! Boomerang sounds really different from old Mae, but I still think that it's great. :) Highly anticipating the next few songs from Mae! :D

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.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

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.
