This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
My heart is pumping
For one reason.
Maybe it's my imagination,
But it's true.
It's all in your hands.
I no longer
Have this on my shoulders.
Oh no,
It must be something I said.
Love is another word for regret.
You know,
It must be part of my plan.
It's never too late to understand.
And I
Wanted it to be
Something more than
Just another run-around for me.
And even though
I'm glad that I'm finally free.
All that's left for my life
Is now up to me.
And I
Walk around for days
And I
Only see you in my dreams.
Wait for me like I've waited for you.
For one reason.
Maybe it's my imagination,
But it's true.
It's all in your hands.
I no longer
Have this on my shoulders.
Oh no,
It must be something I said.
Love is another word for regret.
You know,
It must be part of my plan.
It's never too late to understand.
And I
Wanted it to be
Something more than
Just another run-around for me.
And even though
I'm glad that I'm finally free.
All that's left for my life
Is now up to me.
And I
Walk around for days
And I
Only see you in my dreams.
Wait for me like I've waited for you.

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
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.

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.
This seems to be a very reflective song. To me, it seems like it jumps through time though. It's almost as if it's going between the past and present in between verses and the chorus. That's what interests me in this song so.
'my heart is pumping for one reason maybe it's my imagination but it's true it's all in your hands i no longer have this on my shoulders'
I think the song starts out in the past. He's remembering something that happened. in a relationship some time ago, but as it turns out, it meants a lot to him. It seems as though there's been an incident. Something that he must have really messed up on, and it's now implied that it's it's no longer on his shoulders. Meaning what they're going to do about it is not up to him...the success of their relationship lies in her hands. In forgiving him for what he did, if you will
'oh no it must be something i said love is another word for regret you know it must be part of my plan it's never too late to understand'
Again, he's reflecting in the past. Remembering what he did. He's obviously said something that didn't go off to well with her. He really does love her and regrets what he did deeply. Maybe if he can convince her that he didn't mean it, then everything will be okay. I think most of us men have been down that road.
'and i wanted it to be something more than just another run-around for me and even though... i'm glad that i'm finally free all that's left for my life is now up to me'
This is where I think the song changes time. It's the present now and he's remembering how he really wanted to make this work. It was a very meaningful relationship to him, and maybe he's realized that recently (or maybe not-maybe he realized it shortly after the incident or even before). The run-around line implies that relationships before this were possibly not serious, or just not meaningful to him. He may be free from the problems that they had, but his success in life is still going to always come down to that same line. Is he going to be able to make it work? It's really up to him in the decisions he makes.
'and i walk around for days and i only see you in my dreams'
It's still the present, and he's realizing how much he can't stop thinking about her. But she's only in his dreams, a part of the past that he may never see again. But deep down inside, he really wants her back.
'wait for me like i've waited for you'
My favorite line in this song by far. This could almost be a decleration to himself. Maybe it is. What he means by this is that he really wants her to give him another chance, to 'wait for him'. Maybe for him to mature, like he's waited for her to forgive him. That seems to be another aspect of us men as well. Always being waited on to mature. But he's right, it takes both of them. They're waiting on each other.
That's how I see it anyway. My 2 cents.
"because nfg's from pa. and pa's motto (used to be on the license plates) is 'you've got a friend in pennsylvania'. isn't it awful?" ......NFG is from Coral Springs, Florida def not Pennsylvania but this is def one of their best songs
This song seems to be about transition in one's life when a relationship has ended or changed. What I'm curious about is the title, a girl in PA, or just the feeling of needing a friend and looking at an old license plate or bumper sticker? But it does seem to fit. In Pennsylvania, "back in the day", transients used to wander through frequently and people would feed them or leave doors unlocked so they could get a drink of cold water. You've got a friend in Pennsylvania was a motto used in ads and seen on license plates. Pennsylvania is changing. Maybe that's what its about? Things change.
@Salieri I live in PA and nowadays we lock doors, and have removed the "you've got a friend" phrase from the license plates :(
I think this song is about someone who doesn't know what they want. they don't want to lose what they have, but they don't want to lose out on other chances, either, so they ask them to stay. i can relate to this so well because this is exactly how i am... never sure you've got the best... til it's gone
Another great love sucks song. Love truly is another word for regret, and NFG has summed this up very well.
Its True!," love is another word for regret "
this is how im feeling right now "it's all in your hands. i no longer have this on my shoulders. " but at the same time "and i walk around for days and i only see you in my dreams.
wait for me like i've waited for you."
I think that this song is short but sweet. It's got strong lyrics but why the hell is it called u got a friend in pennsylvania????? Who knows!? :)
