This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
You've applied the pressure
To have me crystallized
And you've got the faith
That I could bring paradise
I'll forgive and forget
Before I'm paralyzed
Do I have to keep up the pace
To keep you satisfied? ha-iah-i
Things have gotten closer to the sun
And I've done things in small doses
So don't think that I'm pushing you away
When you're the one that I've kept closest
Ha-iah-iai
Ha-iah-iai
Ha-iah-iai
Ha-iah-iai
You don't move slow
Taking steps in my direction
The sound resounds, echo
Does it lessen your affection? no
You say I'm foolish
For pushing this aside
But burn down our home
I won't leave alive, ha-iah-iai
Glaciers have melted to the sea
I wish the tide would take me over
I've been down on my knees
And you just keep on getting closer
Ha-iah-iai
Ha-iah-iai
Ha-iah-iai
Ha-iah-iai
Things have gotten closer to the sun (glaciers have melted to the sea)
And I've done things in small doses (I wish the tide would take me over)
So don't think that I'm pushing you away (I've been down onto my knees)
When you're the one that I've kept closest (and you just keep on getting closer)
Go slow
Go slow, whoa
Go slow
Go slow, whoa
Go slow
To have me crystallized
And you've got the faith
That I could bring paradise
I'll forgive and forget
Before I'm paralyzed
Do I have to keep up the pace
To keep you satisfied? ha-iah-i
Things have gotten closer to the sun
And I've done things in small doses
So don't think that I'm pushing you away
When you're the one that I've kept closest
Ha-iah-iai
Ha-iah-iai
Ha-iah-iai
Ha-iah-iai
You don't move slow
Taking steps in my direction
The sound resounds, echo
Does it lessen your affection? no
You say I'm foolish
For pushing this aside
But burn down our home
I won't leave alive, ha-iah-iai
Glaciers have melted to the sea
I wish the tide would take me over
I've been down on my knees
And you just keep on getting closer
Ha-iah-iai
Ha-iah-iai
Ha-iah-iai
Ha-iah-iai
Things have gotten closer to the sun (glaciers have melted to the sea)
And I've done things in small doses (I wish the tide would take me over)
So don't think that I'm pushing you away (I've been down onto my knees)
When you're the one that I've kept closest (and you just keep on getting closer)
Go slow
Go slow, whoa
Go slow
Go slow, whoa
Go slow

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.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
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.
Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
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.
I doubt this song is about drugs or sex.... I could be wrong buuuut Its probably about a couple that can't decide how their relationship should develop and grow. The chick wants to go slowly "Do I have to keep up the pace to keep you satisfied?" "You don't move slow in taking steps in my direction"(trust or commitment issues maybe?) And the guy thinks differently but also wants to make her happy "Don't think that I'm pushing you away when you're the one that I've kept closest".
Also at "But burn down our home, I won't leave alive" I don't think that's what he is saying. I think he is saying "But not at all, I wanna live a lie". It fits into that verse and also the fact that he doesn't think they're moving fast at all and doesn't want to believe it;and even if he does he wants to pretend that everything is fine.
But when they start to sing together I think that is them finally talking it out and when they both finally say "Go Slow" that's them coming to an agreement-they're going to take things slow and not rush things for the better since they both were feeling the pressure.
They obviously love each other or else they wouldn't be having this issue. But that's just me and I've read other interpretations that were really good.
This song is crazy addictive though-Metal is usually my style but the moment I heard this song I knew that I HAD to have it. They both have beautiful singing voices-ones that you would want to have someone sing to you in if you were scared or nervous. The Xx = purely amazing music
