Who needs a ring, you're gonna swing for
Doing a nasty little thing for this daughter's
A dish you're gonna sing for
Sing for me, sing for me, sing for me

They say you have to learn to love once
Before the light is gonna come
And so, I know it's never gonna come for me
Come for me, come for me

The mind connection will be made
And you might think you're getting paid
But you're still on the lilypad, baby

And you might think this deal is done
But silk is worm until it's spun
You're still on the lilypad, yeah

Who needs a dog ya gotta dig for
Beg, or kiss around the dirt for
Show me ninety ways to get more
More for me
Sing for me, sing for me

The mind connection will be made
And you might think you're getting paid
But you're still on the lilypad, baby

And you might think this deal is done
But silk is worm until it's spun
You're still on the lilypad, yeah

The mind connection will be made
And you might think you're getting paid
But you're still on the lilypad, baby

And you might think this deal is done
But silk is worm until it's spun
You're still on the lilypad, yeah
You're still on the lilypad, yeah
You're still on the lilypad, yeah
You're still on the lilypad, yeah
You're still on the lilypad, yeah

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.

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

Punchline
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.
