I just need to hear that song again
Oh there I was standing all alone
When you came dancing
Very, very near me
Why'd you have to go and disappear?

And if they play that song maybe
You'll come dancing back to me
I can't remember any words
There's a verse and after it goes

Something like this (goes)
Something like this (goes)
Over and over like a robot you go
Something like this (goes)
Something like this (goes)
Over and over like a robot you go

No I don't feel like going home
Oh, there's no chance
I'm leaving here solo
How will I ever find
A way to track you down?
The floor is where I'll stay and

Ask somebody if they see
Someone shaking tambourines
Two feet that never touch the ground
Searching til I've found your moves go

Something like this (goes)
Something like this (goes)
Over and over like a robot you go
Something like this (goes)
Something like this (goes)
Over and over like a robot you go

La la la la la lala la
La la la la la lala la
La la la la la lala la

I'm so lonely I could die
I got someone like you in mind
Oh to love me 'stead of passing by
When my heart beats it goes
Something like this (goes)
Something like this (goes)
Over and over like a robot you go
Something like this (goes)
Something like this (goes)
Over and over like a robot you go

La la la la la lala la
La la la la la lala la
La la la la la lala la

Something like this (goes)
Something like this (goes)
Over and over like a robot you go
Something like this (goes)
Something like this (goes)
Over and over like a robot you go

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.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
