This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Understand, I don't care if I meet you
And you don't care if we meet
It's just conversation
We're not so compatible
But at least we know
And we don't care
Syntax lies
No difference in art and life
Just what we say
And the order the words go
It's time, we've deeded an aggravist
One that wouldn't make us laugh
And has severed how we used to speak
Concepts of language around his waist
But more dimensionally versed
He has severed how we used to speak
Call it backwards
Overlapping
Ultramodern
"More slowly" (please)
They mistook it for religion
But the truth unfolds
We de-vo without knowing
Same language equals same story
The new version is confusing
Sharp tongue
Glass blood
Grammar, it's comedic
We're corrected
We need a stoplight division
To the next calendar . . . year
I understand it's just conversation
But it eliminates how I really feel
And you don't care if we meet
It's just conversation
We're not so compatible
But at least we know
And we don't care
Syntax lies
No difference in art and life
Just what we say
And the order the words go
It's time, we've deeded an aggravist
One that wouldn't make us laugh
And has severed how we used to speak
Concepts of language around his waist
But more dimensionally versed
He has severed how we used to speak
Call it backwards
Overlapping
Ultramodern
"More slowly" (please)
They mistook it for religion
But the truth unfolds
We de-vo without knowing
Same language equals same story
The new version is confusing
Sharp tongue
Glass blood
Grammar, it's comedic
We're corrected
We need a stoplight division
To the next calendar . . . year
I understand it's just conversation
But it eliminates how I really feel

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
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.
one of my favorite faint songs. a 21st century love song
this is a very un-fainty faint song...
it's quite amazing anyways
this isn't the most unfaintyfaint song, jerk, this is a wonderful one. this is so damn good, i love Media, i might like it better than both their synthy ones. it's so ...just good and originally weird. reminds me of what cursive could have been. haha. anyways. the point of it is that whatever you say isn't always what you feel. with her arms wrapped around your waist, you can't always say "you know, i don't want to do this" when she just kisses you , you just let your tongue do the talking, this is at least what i get out of it. "more slowly" = prude, maybe, but just wanting to say, man ... i just can't do this right now. syntax lies = only lies becasue your words are too inarticulate to express the true meaning of emotions/decisions/etc.

I love this song, it just goes to show the faint would make a great rock band even if they lost the synths and club beats... god forbid
to me it says that emotions are more powerful than words can be. Which then gets me to the old cliche, actions speak louder than words.
But the "severed how we used to speak" part and a little after shows how language has envolved into this extremly important aspect in soceity, and very proper language anywhere is expected and held to be normal.
Simply put, it's about how language has become superficial. And there's not much else I can say without losing my intended meaning (and that sentence itself means a lot).
