Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
One two three four
Once I was fearless, going up against the world
Optimistic, seeing all the reasons for
Got through the darkness, I could live through anything
Where, where did it go?
I wanna feel it, like I did back then, but more
I really need it, more than I've ever before
I believed it oh, oh
Where, where did it go?
So stop fearing death, I want something to live for
I've been holding my breath, I want something to live for
Cause when I feel the sound, I want something to live for
I wanna make you proud, I want something to live for
Hey, how's it going? Good, and how are you good off?
And do you wonder how much that isn't true
Will you help me out if you can
I'll take you as you are, please just take me as I am
Stop fearing death, I want something to live for
I've been holding my breath, I want something to live for
Cause when I feel the sound, I want something to live for
I wanna make you proud, I want something to live for
Idea of hope. I believe in you
And I need it now, God I need you
And yes your words, I believe are true
But sometimes I just fall down and break though I don't mean to
Stop feeling bad, never look back
I swear, I wish I could
Stop fearing death, want something to live for
I've been holding my breath, I want something to live for
Cause when I feel the sound, I want something to live for
I wanna make you proud, I want something to live for
Stop fearing death I want something to live for
(I want something to live for)
I've been holding my breath, I want something to live for
(I want something to live for)
Cause when I feel the sound, I want something to live for
I wanna make you proud, I want something to live for
Once I was fearless, going up against the world
Optimistic, seeing all the reasons for
Got through the darkness, I could live through anything
Where, where did it go?
I wanna feel it, like I did back then, but more
I really need it, more than I've ever before
I believed it oh, oh
Where, where did it go?
So stop fearing death, I want something to live for
I've been holding my breath, I want something to live for
Cause when I feel the sound, I want something to live for
I wanna make you proud, I want something to live for
Hey, how's it going? Good, and how are you good off?
And do you wonder how much that isn't true
Will you help me out if you can
I'll take you as you are, please just take me as I am
Stop fearing death, I want something to live for
I've been holding my breath, I want something to live for
Cause when I feel the sound, I want something to live for
I wanna make you proud, I want something to live for
Idea of hope. I believe in you
And I need it now, God I need you
And yes your words, I believe are true
But sometimes I just fall down and break though I don't mean to
Stop feeling bad, never look back
I swear, I wish I could
Stop fearing death, want something to live for
I've been holding my breath, I want something to live for

I wanna make you proud, I want something to live for
Stop fearing death I want something to live for
(I want something to live for)

Cause when I feel the sound, I want something to live for
I wanna make you proud, I want something to live for

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.
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
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.
its "when the DEAF feel the sound" i'm not really sure what that specifically means, but thats the lyrics.
definitely a christian meaning behind the song, he starts the song talking about all the faith he used to have, thus he had faith in his afterlife. but we all have those moments of doubt, and me personally, that moment, when your just like whoa i'm really gonna die one day, because sometimes, actually a lot of the time, death seems so surreal. this is for those moments when you feel that but your like that doesn't matter life goes on, you still live on, you still want something to live for, to fight for, personally i think Bryce is referring to god, that, that is what he wants to live for.
because if he really had full faith in god, he'd have no fear in god.
