This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
There are days when I wake up
That I don't know what I'm doing here
I barely recognize the pair of eyes staring back at me in the mirror
there was a day that I was free
Not a care that I could see
So good I barely could believe that it was happening
Oh take me back again
I was sixteen with an open heart
windows down in a beat up car
When I was dumb and the world was young and she was beautiful
She was beautiful
She was beautiful
How do we end up like this?
Living lives that we don't care about?
Too busy fixing things
On computer screens
While the grass grows green
Me, I'm screaming out
There was a day that I was free
Not a care that I could see
So good I barely could believe that it was happening
Oh take me back again
I was sixteen with an open heart
windows down in a beat up car
When I was dumb and the world was young and she was beautiful
She was beautiful
She was beautiful
She was beautiful
She was beautiful
Yeah, yeah, yeah
There was a day that I was free
Not a care that I could see
So good I barely could believe that it was happening
Oh take me back again
I was 16 with an open heart
windows down in a beat up car
When I was dumb and the world was young and she was beautiful
She was beautiful
She was beautiful
It was you, it was you, and you are beautiful, yeah
I was sixteen with an open heart
windows down in a beat up car
When I was dumb and the world was young and she was beautiful
Ohhh
That I don't know what I'm doing here
I barely recognize the pair of eyes staring back at me in the mirror
there was a day that I was free
Not a care that I could see
So good I barely could believe that it was happening
Oh take me back again
I was sixteen with an open heart
windows down in a beat up car
When I was dumb and the world was young and she was beautiful
She was beautiful
She was beautiful
How do we end up like this?
Living lives that we don't care about?
Too busy fixing things
On computer screens
While the grass grows green
Me, I'm screaming out
There was a day that I was free
Not a care that I could see
So good I barely could believe that it was happening
Oh take me back again
I was sixteen with an open heart
windows down in a beat up car
When I was dumb and the world was young and she was beautiful
She was beautiful
She was beautiful
She was beautiful
She was beautiful
Yeah, yeah, yeah
There was a day that I was free
Not a care that I could see
So good I barely could believe that it was happening
Oh take me back again
I was 16 with an open heart
windows down in a beat up car
When I was dumb and the world was young and she was beautiful
She was beautiful
She was beautiful
It was you, it was you, and you are beautiful, yeah
I was sixteen with an open heart
windows down in a beat up car
When I was dumb and the world was young and she was beautiful
Ohhh

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.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
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.
American Town
Ed Sheeran
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.
For me, Ben Rector is talking about the comparison of our lives then and now.
There are days when I wake up And I don't know what I'm doing here I barely recognize the pair of eyes Staring back at me in the mirror
--->Here, I think he is saying that today, he can't see a clear picture of who he is, where he is, how he came in his situation now, why is he here, what is his purpose in life. He barely recognize who he really is when he tried to see his reflection...
But there was a day when I was free Not a care that I could see So good, I could barely believe that it was happening Oh take me back again
---> He could still remember the time when he was still innocent, when he still has the freedom and he thinks it is the most beautiful thing he has ever had. He is wishing that if ever he could take back the time...
When I was 16 with an open heart Windows down in a beat up car When I was dumb and the world was young And she was beautiful She was beautiful She was beautiful
---> Well, I don't know about the relationship of the age 16 with his story, but maybe it was his time when he felt he had a stress-free life, where he sees life as a simple place to be. He is describing what he feels when he remembers his childhood, his memory, he wanna feel again what he felt before... because it is beautiful...
How do we end up like this Living lives that we don't care about Too busy fixing things on computer screens While the grass grows green Me I'm screaming out
---> He has a lot of question of how a simple life became so complicated, and that why is it that his environment now became too busy with the modern world without thinking of the past that should still be part of the new generation. He is one of the few who are aware that old, simple life should be taken back and that we should realize it...
and the rest of the lyrics were just repeated...
I think the "SHE" he's talking about is "LIFE" :) this song caught my heart. I felt like I want my childhood back, especially now that I am suffering a lot of stress and problems that I never thought could happen to me. I am wishing if I could turn back the time, I would change whatever I want for my future to be... I want to cherish life, and I regret how I wasted 5 years of it... :(
