It's not
Yesterday
Anymore
I go visiting and I talk loud
I try to make myself clear
In front of a face that's nearer
Than it's ever been before
Not this close before
Nearer than before
Not this close before
It is
Is a million
Years ago
I hear music and it sounds like bells
I feel like my head is high
I wish I could meet every one
Meet them all over again
Bring them up to my room
Meet them all over again
Everyone's up in my room
Oh oh, oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
And now
Now I'm busy
Busy again
Oh, I feel like sitting down, but
I'm still thinking
thinking about my friends
In my guarded moments
But now I'm speaking out
Speaking about my friends
Now I'm speaking out
Thinking about my friends (eh, eh, eh)

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.
Majestikmoose9, you are so right! I think it's about tripping out, like when everything is overly intense for some reason and you are kind of overwhelmed but you just go with it. I think it's also about an enthusiasm for life, but maybe it's just the way he sings it, no, it's also the lyrics. Some of the lyrics remind me of the radiohead lyrics, "Everyone, Everyone around here...Everyone is so near...It's holding on" or something like that.
