This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
I'll do my time and I won't argue
A broken glass a portrait of you
I play on keys of barely in tune
Forget the reasons I won't resume
It's not me who wanted fame
I just needed to
I cash my life and lost my ID
Apathy is all I see
Leave the numbers all behind me
You are all I've got inside me
I don't need to be en caged
I just need to rearrange
I can't see you anymore
I can't leave right out the door
After all that we've been through
I can't be with or without you
You finally made it on TV
It's not the way you hoped it'd be
And all the pain of the insanity
Was this ever meant to be
And I don't think that I am thee
One that you keep telling me
It's tearing us up
And it's breaking me down
ALL I'll be, I'll be
Without or without you
A broken glass a portrait of you
I play on keys of barely in tune
Forget the reasons I won't resume
It's not me who wanted fame
I just needed to
I cash my life and lost my ID
Apathy is all I see
Leave the numbers all behind me
You are all I've got inside me
I don't need to be en caged
I just need to rearrange
I can't see you anymore
I can't leave right out the door
After all that we've been through
I can't be with or without you
You finally made it on TV
It's not the way you hoped it'd be
And all the pain of the insanity
Was this ever meant to be
And I don't think that I am thee
One that you keep telling me
It's tearing us up
And it's breaking me down
ALL I'll be, I'll be
Without or without you

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.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
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.
