This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
You don't know me, but here I am in your living room,
You don't own me, but you paid and that means alot to you, well,
You never listen, but I know that's what you think that you do,
And everybody wants a change, but this time it'll be the same,
Watch us go down in flames
Its all right, it's ok, it was gonna happen anyway,
We had our chance, we made our point, but you're not gonna take that
Radio, commercials, tv shows, and front page ads,
Photos, and interviews, they'll make sure it's the latest fad,
Pay attention, cuz you know you'll have to pay either way,
And they tell you that its the new thing, but we know that it hasn't changed,
Watch us go down in flames
It's all right, it's ok, it was gonna happen anyway,
We had our chance, we made our point, but you're not going take that away
When this blows over, and the main stream coughs up another shell,
Will you let us back in your underground, well I guess that's a no,
And it's just as well, cuz you never supported us,
All you wanted was to see us fail, and they tell me that it's the new thing,
So I better get out of the way, watch us go down in flames
It's all right, it's ok, it was going to happen anyway,
We had our chance, we made our point, and you're not gonna take that,
It's all right, it's ok, it was gonna happen anyway,
We had our chance, we made our point, you're not gonna take that away,
You're not gonna take that away, you're not gonna take that away,
You're not gonna take that away
You don't own me, but you paid and that means alot to you, well,
You never listen, but I know that's what you think that you do,
And everybody wants a change, but this time it'll be the same,
Watch us go down in flames
Its all right, it's ok, it was gonna happen anyway,
We had our chance, we made our point, but you're not gonna take that
Radio, commercials, tv shows, and front page ads,
Photos, and interviews, they'll make sure it's the latest fad,
Pay attention, cuz you know you'll have to pay either way,
And they tell you that its the new thing, but we know that it hasn't changed,
Watch us go down in flames
It's all right, it's ok, it was gonna happen anyway,

It's all right, it's ok, it was gonna happen anyway,

You're not gonna take that away, you're not gonna take that away,
You're not gonna take that away

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”

Magical
Ed Sheeran
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.
Head > Heels

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
In my opinion, this the best RBF song musically. The lyrics are great too. They're a bit cynical about their future but they still have hope. They're afraid that the ska fad will "go down in flames." Later, when they "blow over", the "main stream" will "cough up another shell", or another fad, and they'll be carried downstream and cease to exist.
