I woke today, felt another way,
Everything was gonna be fine.
My head rose up then my legs came too,
Quarter past nine was the time.

I used to lose floating memories, found myself
Wishing I'd remember old times.
But I woke today,
Felt another way,

Felt free in the sky to fly.
I stepped out the door, didn't know what for,
I saw my lady walking along.
I could have cried out what I wanted to say,

But I am sick of all this terrible charm.
I used to be into apologies, a regular to shame I
Was shy.
But I woke today,

Felt another way,
Felt free in the sky to fly.
Well I'm through the gate, got to my house about
A quarter to eight.

And I made a drink, got about an hour to relax and
Just think.
I'm just bored, nothing's ever gonna be the same
Anymore.

And with my drink in hand I got up to stand and I
Was off to a regular day.
The morning dragged on, I was walking along,
Missing pieces fell to the ground.

Apparently, I could not see,
But I saw everything going down.
So I packed my bags and I was on my way,
I feel a little different in a different way.

But like I said when I got out of bed, I was off to a
Regular day.
I could not hide, I wore my pride,
It felt good to be on the run.

The air quality was something new to me and I got
Along fine with the sun.
And when I rest my heard and I lay down to bed,
I put the pieces down with the blame.

And if all goes well, at the morning bell,
I'll wake feeling free just the same.
Well I'm through the gate, got to my house about
A quarter to eight.

And I made a drink, got about an hour to relax and
Just think.
I'm just bored, nothing's ever gonna be the same
Anymore.

And with my drink in hand I got up to stand and I
Was off to a regular day.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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.

Blue
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.

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.
