This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
This year, all but disappeared,
Bought into fairy tales,
But sleeping beauty just
Kept score and tried to sleep more
She said "I'm not quite, myself tonight,
But the way you touch me, oh, makes me tongue tied,
That could be the wine too."
Kiss quick, I've got a line out the door
Who all think they can save me.
One by one they lay the world at my feet,
One by one they drive me crazy.
She said "I know Love,
And it's all push and shove,
So stop talking
And put your back into it."
Loaded, oh my hands shook to hold it
I turned her body on, I turned her body on myself.
Kiss Quick, I've got a line out the door
Who all think they can save me.
One by one they lay the world at my feet,
One by one they drive me crazy.
Shut your mouth,
Pull me out, before this all goes gray.
One by one they lay the world at my feet.
One by one they go away.
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Come on, come on,
Kiss quick, I've got a line out the door
Who all think they can save me.
Oh, one by one they lay the world at my feet.
One by one they drive me crazy.
Shut your mouth,
And pull me out before this all goes gray.
One by one they lay the world at my feet.
One by one they go away.
They go away.
They go away.
Sold my blood for money,
Baby, baby.
And I love how it feels.
And this year, all but disappears.
Bought into fairy tales,
But sleeping beauty just
Kept score and tried to sleep more
She said "I'm not quite, myself tonight,
But the way you touch me, oh, makes me tongue tied,
That could be the wine too."
Kiss quick, I've got a line out the door
Who all think they can save me.
One by one they lay the world at my feet,
One by one they drive me crazy.
She said "I know Love,
And it's all push and shove,
So stop talking
And put your back into it."
Loaded, oh my hands shook to hold it
I turned her body on, I turned her body on myself.
Kiss Quick, I've got a line out the door
Who all think they can save me.
One by one they lay the world at my feet,
One by one they drive me crazy.
Shut your mouth,
Pull me out, before this all goes gray.
One by one they lay the world at my feet.
One by one they go away.
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Come on, come on,
Kiss quick, I've got a line out the door
Who all think they can save me.
Oh, one by one they lay the world at my feet.
One by one they drive me crazy.
Shut your mouth,
And pull me out before this all goes gray.
One by one they lay the world at my feet.
One by one they go away.
They go away.
They go away.
Sold my blood for money,
Baby, baby.
And I love how it feels.
And this year, all but disappears.

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.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
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.
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.
I agree with advivum but used it from the male perspective. He wants love but can't find it in anything. He's trying to buy into fairytales But the fairytale sucks and just works against him... (keeps score, sleeps more)
All he wants is a real love that can save him but each is just a step... A move on... A quick kiss. And each year or each relationship is just wasted year... That dissaperared. Girls just threw themselves at him... The wine, and the put your back into it lines are straight up sexy... These girls are using him when he actually wants something real which goes back to the fairytale...
But I agree with 2 post ago, probably my fav song on the new album. It is so good and so strong a so deep and crushing... It hurts but feels so good....
I believe that's what the bridge means---- "sold my blood for money"---- hes losing the meaning of life -love- in this moderness of the world... The modern love, where it's fame and flash over love and class.... After all that's the whole theme of this album and he said this song was what shaped that whole theme so I think the whole point of the song is in the is modern day world we cannot find real love but rather it's just quick kisses and even faster "bangs" that don't fulfill what love really is... Which is everything.
I hope some agree with what I feel in this song, this is my first post, and I don't wanna look stupid.... This song meant that much to me... I had to share what it made me feel.
Probably because when I first heard this song, I was going through this situation, I interpret it a little differently. To me, it sounds like a man who is involved with someone that everyone says is not good for him (all the people who think they can save him). But he doesn't want to let her go, because he can't, or he's afraid, or he enjoys being miserable. So the people in his life keep trying to pull him out, but eventually, they give up and leave.
Really also dig that interpretation and next time I listen to the track I will try and see it through your sights. I feel like a lot of Matt's songs about that particular subject... For example faster, run, and queen of (K)nots etc... so It could totally have that emotion mixed in as well. This is why I love Matt, his songs are so open to interpretation and no matter what a person is experiencing it hits them in that way. Really appreciate your input. <br /> <br /> P.s. I have been through a very similar situation with a girl, hope it all worked out for you. <br /> <br /> Take Care.
