This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
You changed my face
I think I like it better now
It doesn't matter anyhow
'cause that's the way it is
You said hello
Where the hell you been?
I said I feel like I been off to war
And I may never be the same again
I made my bed, but now I can't sleep at night
'cause you're tossing and turning, you know, you know it ain't right
I'd love to beg, see, but I'm just too proud
And I don't even know what to say, so I'm thinking out loud
[Chorus]
And when you dream, seventeen
I ain't there, so I don't care
'cause in all my dreams, I'm twenty-three
And she's the girl right next to me
See that girl right next to me
I lie in my bed, you're running through my head
Going over and over and over the things that you said
I'm caught in the trap, I'd run like hell right back to you
'cause I'm sober with you and you know it beats drinking alone
[Chorus: x2]
She's the girl right next to me
See that girl right next to me
I think I like it better now
It doesn't matter anyhow
'cause that's the way it is
You said hello
Where the hell you been?
I said I feel like I been off to war
And I may never be the same again
I made my bed, but now I can't sleep at night
'cause you're tossing and turning, you know, you know it ain't right
I'd love to beg, see, but I'm just too proud
And I don't even know what to say, so I'm thinking out loud
[Chorus]
And when you dream, seventeen
I ain't there, so I don't care
'cause in all my dreams, I'm twenty-three
And she's the girl right next to me
See that girl right next to me
I lie in my bed, you're running through my head
Going over and over and over the things that you said
I'm caught in the trap, I'd run like hell right back to you
'cause I'm sober with you and you know it beats drinking alone
[Chorus: x2]
She's the girl right next to me
See that girl right next to me

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
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.
"Cuz I'm sober with you and you know it beats drinking alone"
that's a really great line.
I'm caught in a trap, I'll run like hell right back to you. Cuz I'm sober with you and you know it beats drinking alone. i LOVE that part best.... this song.. ahh i love it... just listening to it is awesome
why has practically NO ONE COMMENTED ON THIS SONG! its absolutly amazing, and i love it. "id love to beg, see im just too proud. and i dont even know what to say so im thinking out loud" is just such a great line. so true and real. excellent.
i really like this song. as with all their songs, it sounds so honest. but i dont understand it. in most of their songs, they sound like they're understanding and empathizing with whomever the song is about. but in this one, he almost sounds like he's saying "too bad its your problem sux to be you." especially with that line "and when you dream 17, I ain't there so I don't care. Cuz in all my dreams, I'm 23, and she's the girl right next to me." Like he's telling her harshly to move on and get over him, because he's moved on already. but then hat doesnt fit in with the last part where he runs back to her. i dunno. maybe he's talking about his past when he talks about the 17/23 thing, and then he realizes that after trying to shake her off for so long, in the end he needs her anyway. bittersweet, i dunno,
I loooooooooooove that! is it about a guy who realised that hius love was..too young for him..like mentaly , he just left ..but then he came back and he doesn't know what to say..well maybe not Lol...hM..whatever !
This song isn't negative at all it is about a guy who meets a girl who changes him forever whether or not they stay together he can not forget her. and maybe it is just about a rough part of a relationship a rocky part where two lovers are fighting. And coming to realize that the other person makes you happy and it is worth all the bumps in the road to be with that person.
this is my favorite song by the goo goo dolls. they lyrics and the song are amazing. it just makes me feel so good after listening to it. =)
.....great song!
Great song. The first two lines especially hit me.
This is like such an awesome song. Love the lyrics.
And when you dream 17, I ain't there, so I don't care. Cuz in all my dreams, I'm 23, And she's the girl right next to me.
Holy crap... the guitar solo is flat out sick.
Don't quite understand the lyrics, though.
