Elle avait les yeux clairs et la robe en velours
À côté de sa mère et la famille autour
Elle pose un peu distraite au doux soleil
De la fin du jour

La photo n'est pas bonne mais l'on peut y voir
Le bonheur en personne et la douceur d'un soir
Elle aimait la musique, surtout Schumann
Et puis Mozart

Comme toi
Comme toi, comme toi, comme toi
Comme toi
Comme toi, comme toi, comme toi
Comme toi que je regarde tout bas
Comme toi qui dort en rêvant à quoi, comme toi
Comme toi, comme toi, comme toi

Elle allait à l'école au village d'en bas
Elle apprenait les livres, elle apprenait les lois
Elle chantait les grenouilles et les princesses
Qui dorment au bois

Elle aimait sa poupée, elle aimait ses amis
Surtout Ruth et Anna et surtout Jérémie
Et ils se marieraient un jour peut-être à Varsovie

Comme toi
Comme toi, comme toi, comme toi
Comme toi
Comme toi, comme toi, comme toi
Comme toi que je regarde tout bas
Comme toi qui dort en rêvant à quoi, comme toi
Comme toi, comme toi, comme toi

Elle s'appelait Sarah elle n'avait pas huit ans
Sa vie, c'était douceur, rêves et nuages blancs
Mais d'autres gens en avaient décidé autrement

Elle avait tes yeux clairs et elle avait ton âge
C'était une petite fille sans histoire et très sage
Mais elle n'est pas née comme toi
Ici et maintenant

Comme toi
Comme toi, comme toi, comme toi
Comme toi
Comme toi, comme toi, comme toi
Comme toi que je regarde tout bas
Comme toi qui dort en rêvant à quoi, comme toi
Comme toi, comme toi, comme toi
Comme toi
Comme toi, comme toi, comme toi

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.
