This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Time is running out as you die, die, die in this bed not making a sound.
It has all come crashing down to be here, and watch you breathe your last.
So helpless to stop you from slipping away so fast.
Oh, God, are you listening now?
As this cancer dances through her, and then takes a bow.
It won't disappoint the crowd,
whose words are a curse,
as I hear them one-by-one.
Please pull the string, and I come undone.
I know this. I failed to say. I'm sinking by your side.
You're worth this. I wouldn't trade a day to not have gone through this
So many days I've been blind.
I want to stop and rewind.
Kick off our shoes and dance with the ghost of you.
Who could tease me and leave me begging for the abuse?
You're the only I knew that could tame me, and make me who I am.
But now, there's self-blaming and there's nothing left of all my plans.
I know this. I failed to say. I'm sinking by your side.
You're worth this. I wouldn't trade a day to not have gone through this.
So many days I've been blind.
I want to stop and rewind.
Kick off our shoes and dance..
Let's dance again.
We'll turn up our sleeves.
I know just where to begin.
Dance, let's dance again.
We could find ourselves before this happens...
Words of mine are trite and simple shame.
Still we find a place in everything.
It's just to break the silence that has been crushing me.
Half of me is dead, already gone.
Half is screaming everyone is wrong.
Finally asking now, will you just hear me out?
This was all my fault.
You brought me death, and it's everything I wanted.
It's the wrong side of fear that kept me out.
It has all come crashing down to be here, and watch you breathe your last.
So helpless to stop you from slipping away so fast.
Oh, God, are you listening now?
As this cancer dances through her, and then takes a bow.
It won't disappoint the crowd,
whose words are a curse,
as I hear them one-by-one.
Please pull the string, and I come undone.
I know this. I failed to say. I'm sinking by your side.
You're worth this. I wouldn't trade a day to not have gone through this
So many days I've been blind.
I want to stop and rewind.
Kick off our shoes and dance with the ghost of you.
Who could tease me and leave me begging for the abuse?
You're the only I knew that could tame me, and make me who I am.
But now, there's self-blaming and there's nothing left of all my plans.
I know this. I failed to say. I'm sinking by your side.
You're worth this. I wouldn't trade a day to not have gone through this.

This was all my fault.
You brought me death, and it's everything I wanted.
It's the wrong side of fear that kept me out.

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
No Surprises
Radiohead
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
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.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
It's definitely "I know this. I felt the same. I'm sinking by your side." Not "sleeping by your side."
What does he mean by "It's the wrong side of fear that kept me out."? its been bothering me ever since i listened to the whole cd cause it doesnt seem like a just ending to such a masterful album.
"Words of mine are trite and simple shame. Still we find a place in everything. It's just to break the silence that has been crushing me. Half of me is dead, already gone. Half is screaming everyone is wrong. Finally asking now, will you just hear me out?
This was all my fault. You brought me death, and it's everything I wanted. It's the wrong side of fear that kept me out. "
I may be completely 100% off here, but it's interesting...could this be about a huge fear of commitment to someone he loved, and him, although knowing it was an awful thought to think but thinking it anyway because of his huge fear (possibly of commitment), thinking something along the lines of, "Damn, if this girl would just die or something I wouldn't have to keep feeling this way, so scared and nervous and worried about the future." - I don't know, I know nothing about this song yet (first time hearing it today), but the ending leads me to think about this.
It's about a girl who's dying/dead and he would give anything to have more time with. He blames himself for not treasuring every day with her.
Well if I remember right, Josh said in an interview that the emotions from all their albums come from what they are dealing with in their life at the time. (like As Your Voice Fades being about Toby's grandmother Now I'm not sure the exact intentions of the song, except that it was all built around "This Night Will Be Mine" being sung in Spanish.
Like the last poster said, I get a similar feeling when listening to the song.
Some of the lyrics are wrong. I have the cd! Came yesterday and I love it! <33 The correct lyrics fit, what people have been saying above about the meaning, better. So here are the correct lyrics in booklet and I tried to set it out best, please change them thanks:
Time is running out, As you die die die in this bed not making a sound. It has all come crashing down, To be here, and watch you breathe your last. So helpless to stop you from slipping away so fast.
Oh God are you listening now? As this cancer dances through her and then takes a bow. It won't disappoint the crowd, Whose words, are a curse, As I hear them one by one. Each pull, the string, and I come undone.
I know this, I failed to say (I'm sinking by your side) You're worth this, I wouldn't trade a day, to not have gone through this So many days I've been blind I want to stop and rewind Kick off our shoes and dance, with the ghost of you.
Who could tease me and leave me begging for the abuse? You're the only I knew, That could tame me, and make me who I am. But now it's all fading, and there's nothing left of all my plans.
I know this, I failed to say (I'm sinking by your side) You're worth this, I wouldn't trade a day, to not have gone through this So many days I've been blind I want to stop and rewind Kick off our shoes and dance
Let's dance again We'll turn up our sleeves I know just where to begin Dance, let's dance again We could find ourselves before this happens
These words of mine are trite and so cliche, And still they find their place in everything. It's just to break the silence that has been crushing me. Half of me is dead, already gone. Half is screaming everyone is wrong. Finally asking now will you, Just hear me out?
This was all my fault. You brought me death, and it's everything I wanted. It's the wrong side of fear that kept me out.
Oops I missed a one out...above^^ 'You're the only one I knew'.
well, he got his wish...

To me, a song has a line or a verse that gives you a new look on things or gives a disription of something that you hadn't heard before. The line "As the cancer dances through her and then takes a bow. It wont disapoint the crowd," gives you a new take on a deadly and horrible condition. It makes you wonder. Anyhoo, I might be crazy, but that's just my take on it
I'm with jonneh_ on this one, i think thats a pretty damn good interpretation.
I saw Emery in concert right after this cd came out. Dear Death Part 2 was originally combined with Dear Death part 1 as one song. So to fully understand the song you have to take both parts into consideration. Toby said the motivation behind writing this song is a reoccurring dream he has about loosing his wife. This is just an interpretation of his dream and how he felt and what he saw. There is also a song about this dream on the latest cd "We Do What We Want"called The Curse of Perfect Days. The thought of loosing his wife is a great fear of Toby's and he makes if very evident in not one, but three of his songs.
