And then the seasons get you down
I'll come running to tuck you in
Out the window looks like all of the colors
All of them melting down
Been escaping, barely keeps him awake, shivering in your clothes
Frosty glasses cracking into the shades,
tryin' to forget you yet

Hello, hello
You always seem to call and nothing's on
Proceed to memory
Hello, hello
You always seem t forget before we leave the information's in
You're awfully calm and dull
Hello, hello
You're awfully calm, is all
Hello, hello

And when the seasons get you down
I'll come running to tuck you in
And out the window looks like all of the colors, all of them melting down
I hate escaping, barely keeps you awake, shivering in your clothes
My frosty glasses cracking into the shades,
tryin' to forget you, no

Word, fire, wind, hey, eh-oh
And soon, all you'll have is the memory
And then you won't even have that memory
Oh-oh-oh
And soon, all you'll have is the memory
Oh-oh-oh
And then you won't even have that memory
Oh-oh-oh
Until all you'll have is the memory
Oh-oh-oh
And then you won't even have that memory

Come out of there, we got just one chance,
If you lose, no one is a
Come out of there, we got just one chance,
If you lose, no one is a
Come out of there, we got just one chance,
If you lose, no one is a
Come out of there, we got just one chance,
If you lose, no one is a

    Holy sh** these comments.

    "Been escaping" and "I hate escaping" should be "The heat escaping," hence the shivering.

    Also, I think it's probably "You're awfully cold, is all," in keeping with the lack of heat/shivering theme. Also a nifty double entendre.

    "Been escaping"

    It is definitely heat escaping. I like to think of someone who loves fall time and hates the cold of winter. "And when the seasons get you down" And how the beautiful leaves die and wither. "Out your window looks like all of the colors, all of them melting down." Then winter comes along and the heat escapes, you shiver in your clothes, the glass frosts, and you can barely sleep. I love the melody at the end.

    Deep in winter, youll just have a memory. Late winter, you won't even have the memory. (Of the fall time) "We got just one night" (Left of fall)

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.

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.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
