I liked
Having hurt
So send the pain below
Where I need it
You used to beg me
To take
Care of things
And smile at the thoughts
Of me failing
But long before
Having hurt
I'll send the pain below
I'll send the pain below
Much like suffocating
Much like suffocating
Much like suffocating (I'll send the pain below)
Much like suffocating (I'll send the pain below)
You used to run me away
All while laughing
Then cry about that fact
'Til my returns
But long before
Having hurt
I'll send the pain below
I'll send the pain below
Much like suffocating
Much like suffocating
Much like suffocating (I'll send the pain below)
Much like suffocating (I'll send the pain below)
Much like suffocating
I can't feel my chest (chest, chest)
Anymore
Drop down
'Cause I'm in
I can't feel my chest (chest, chest)
Drop down
I liked
Having hurt
So send the pain below
So send the pain below (much like suffocating) (I liked)
So send the pain below (much like suffocating) (having hurt)
So send the pain below (much like suffocating)
So send the pain below (much like suffocating)
So send the pain below
Having hurt
So send the pain below
Where I need it
You used to beg me
To take
Care of things
And smile at the thoughts
Of me failing
But long before
Having hurt
I'll send the pain below
I'll send the pain below
Much like suffocating
Much like suffocating
Much like suffocating (I'll send the pain below)
Much like suffocating (I'll send the pain below)
You used to run me away
All while laughing
Then cry about that fact
'Til my returns
But long before
Having hurt
I'll send the pain below
I'll send the pain below
Much like suffocating

Much like suffocating (I'll send the pain below)
Much like suffocating (I'll send the pain below)
Much like suffocating
I can't feel my chest (chest, chest)

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.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
Calm the fuck down dude, its just a song. You're supposed to find your own meaning in music, there is no right or wrong answer. Plus Chevelle is notorious for making up fake meaning for there songs just so people don't spend all there time worrying about what Pete meant when he wrote it and make a real connection to the music. Not to mention the music video provides a completely different interpretation of the lyrics.<br /> <br /> Seriously, take a few deep breaths before you post next time, this site is for intellectual discussion, not 3rd grade name calling
@sandman18and5 Plausable even if the lyrics are maddeningly vague.I'm not sold but think starfox69 was way too harsh on your interpretation. It make as much sense as anything else I've heard but until I hear the band members with their own interpretation I will withhold judgement.
I think this song is about someone who has endured a painful, dark period in their life and the pain has cut so deep it's become suffocating. This song is them fighting back against the negative wave and instead using that pain and dark energy as a jumping off point, making it become almost cathartic & therapeutic.
@EternalTearsOfSorrow perfect description, this song is like a person suffers a chronic illness, such as anxiety<br /> anxitie
This song is great. I like the way he says "much like suffocating". Awesome.
Basically this perfectly describes the process of going numb. "But long before having hurt, I'd send the pain below." This is the "grin and bear it" mentality as you "send the pain below." After having done this repeatedly..."much like suffocating," eventually leads to..."I can't feel my chest, drop down, because I am," until you are comfortably numb and reflect upon a time when you could feel, even if it hurt; "I liked having hurt." Their ability to so concisely express it is amazing! Great band!
Ok now that we've cleared up the fact that they're awesome and we can't wait to see them live how about we start talkign about what the song means?
this song is good
Smh all you overthinkin dr philly analyzers... \n\nGotta k.i.s.s\n\nIt\'s about a not so good snowboarder drinking alcohol landing some tricks in comp -14\n\nProof? Watch the vid
The lines...
You used to run me away while laughing Then cry about the fact till I returned
...they would have been the perfect voice-over for a relationship I was in a few months back. It was a constant on/off back-n-forth battle. Push & Pull... etc.
Chevelle rules. I can't wait to see them live (again)
I just saw them live Wednesday. They're amazing.
There's an error in these lyrics. It should be ...
I like having hurt
instead of
Hard lives have been hurt
once in awhile that feelng of people not wanting you to succeed and realizing their self worth...
