Why can't you just leave me alone'
Just when I thought you were gone
You threw it up in my face
Why can't you accept that I made a mistake'
Let it, let it go, let it, let it go

You never let me free, you're like a ball and chain
Take a piece of me and never hesitate
Like gravity you bring me down
And I'm not gonna take it, not gonna take it

Feel it, I can feel it
I won't take it, I can feel it
It's a good day to bid you good day

Will you ever let me walk away'
You keep reminding me of yesterday
You're so stuck on bringing me down
You should know by now that I'm not sticking around
Let it, let it go, let it, let it go

You never let me free, you're like a ball and chain
Take a piece of me and never hesitate
Like gravity you bring me down
And I'm not gonna take it, not gonna take it

Feel it, I can feel it
I won't take it, I can feel it
It's a good day to bid you good day

Gotta let, gotta let, gotta let this go
Gotta let, gotta let, gotta let it go
Gotta let me go
'Cause I'm not gonna take it, not gonna, goodbye

You never let me free, you're like a ball and chain
Take a piece of me and never hesitate
Like gravity you bring me down
And I'm not gonna take it, not gonna take it

It's a good day, goodbye lies, lame stories
Out my face, out the way, I'm warning
You manipulate, complicate, don't ignore me
It's a good day to bid you good day

It's a good day, goodbye lies, lame stories
Out my face, out my way, I'm warning
You manipulate, complicate, don't ignore me
It's a good day to bid you good day

So say goodbye, don't try hello
It's past the time for you to go
I'm happy now that you're out the way
Can't believe I played your sorry games

I've let you go, it's such a good feeling
And I won't be seeing you again
It's a good day to bid you good day

    I think this is about getting saved and bidding the devil good day because he's not worth your time

This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io

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.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
