Forget you and your mom
And your sister and your job
And that broke-down car
And the things you call art
Forget you and your friends
That I'll never see again
Everybody but your dog
You can all get lost

I swear I meant to mean the best when it ended
Even tried to bite my tongue when you start, mmh
Now you're textin' all my friends askin' questions
They never even liked you in the first place
Dated a girl that I know for the attention
She only made it two days, what a connection
It's like you'd do anythin' for my affection
You're goin' all about it in the worst ways

I was into you
But I'm over it now
And I was tryna be nice
But nothing's gettin' through
So let me spell it out

A-B-C-D-E forget you
And your mom and your sister and your job
And that broke-down car
And the things you call art
Forget you and your friends
That I'll never see again
Everybody but your dog
You can all get lost

Na-na-na-na, na, na, na-na
A-B-C-D-E forget you

You said you just needed space and so I gave it
When I had nothin' to say, you couldn't take it
Told everyone I'm a-, so I became it
Always had to put yourself above me

I was into you
But I'm over it now
And I was tryna be nice
But nothing's getting through
So let me spell it out

A-B-C-D-E forget you
And your mom and your sister and your job
And that Craigslist couch
And the way your voice sounds
Forget you and your friends
That I'll never see again
Everybody but your dog
You can all get lost

Na-na-na-na, na, na, na-na
A-B-C-D-E forget you (get lost)
Na-na-na-na, na, na, na-na
A-B-C-D-E forget you

And your mom and your sister and your job
And that Craigslist couch
And the way your voice sounds
Forget you and your friends
That I'll never see again
Everybody but your dog
You can all get lost

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
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”

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.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
