Gravity is my enemy,
It grabs at me like I'm money.
The stars are bangin' close to me,
As I'm floatin' in a life odyssey.

My lines are down, you can't call me,
As I floating around in space odyssey.
My lines are down, you can't call me,
As I fly around in a space odyssey.

Like Puzzel Bubble on PC,
It's got color waves following me.
And I still judge it week by week,
And I'm head of time, so you'll never lose me.

My lines are down, you can't call me,
As I fly around in a space odyssey.
My lines are down, you can't call me,
As I fly around in a space odyssey.

Ooh, ah, ah ah

Can I take a minute or two,
To introduce my point of view.
I need to spend some time with you,
There's nothing more new on the news.

My lines are down, you can't call me,
As I fly around in a space odyssey.
My lines are down, you can't call me,
As I fly around in a space odyssey.

    My Interpretation

    I get the feeling that this song is about the feeling of peacefulness that a person can attain from disconnecting themselves from modern technology. (My lines are down, you can't cal me) It describes a feeling of bliss due to not being totally available at all times, like many of us do these days with the inventions of things like Facebook and cell phones. Basically it suggests that we'd all be much happier if we were all actually in charge of our own destinies and lives.

    Song Meaning

    It sounds, to me, like this is about being high on acid or some type of drug, and about how 'unreachable' you are while high on the drug. How it feels like you're floating in space, and how color is a big part of it. 'It's got color waves following me'. And when she says, 'i need to spend some more time with you, there's nothing more new on the news', I think she talking about how with drugs, it's always fun and exciting, versus the real world where everything seems depressing and repetitve.

    Also, it could be about someone who has given their life to drugs, and has lost everything to them. The part about the phone lines being down could mean that the person stopped caring about everything, so their phone lines got shut off due to them not paying for anything, or caring. And when she talks about 'can I introduce you to my point of view', she means the person is trying to convince others that their drug-lifestye is amazing, and they're used to everyone thinking that the drugs are bad (hence the 'there's nothing new on the news' part) Just my interpretation!

    I agree w/ kate0326 the album as a whole seems to have a sort of anti-technology idea from the first track the message. She seems to be telling us to get back to our roots to actually interact with our world

    I thought she said, "It grabs at me like i'm money", not "harmony". anyways, This song is just about feeling disconnected from the rest of the world. she's giving us this image of her as a computer or something...it's a fawkin amazing song. [:

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
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.

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

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.

Blue
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.
