This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Peel me
Step like a fencer
Until I can feel you again
Heal me
Spread like a cancer
Until I can feel all this pain
Burn like a fire
Release me
And then let me drown again
Burn like a fire
To freeze me
And then let me drown again
Tease me
Crush down my beaver
Until I can see you again
Ease me
Hush me with fever
Until I can see all this rain
Burn like a fire
Release me
And then let me drown again
Burn like a fire
To freeze me
And then let me drown again
Feed my desire
Relieve me
And then let me down again
Feed my desire
Deceive me
And then let me down again
Step like a fencer
Until I can feel you again
Heal me
Spread like a cancer
Until I can feel all this pain
Burn like a fire
Release me
And then let me drown again
Burn like a fire
To freeze me
And then let me drown again
Tease me
Crush down my beaver
Until I can see you again
Ease me
Hush me with fever
Until I can see all this rain
Burn like a fire
Release me
And then let me drown again
Burn like a fire
To freeze me
And then let me drown again
Feed my desire
Relieve me
And then let me down again
Feed my desire
Deceive me
And then let me down again

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.
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.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
I absolutely love this song. I love how OOMPH! can b very versatile. One minute they can just b heavy metal, jsut screaming with Dero's amazing deep voice, n the next, he's voice can sound beautiful, and industrial like in this number. He must have sum great vocal chords 2 pull off his styles of singing. It's 2 bad they're not so populat here in the U.S., but i like them being underground, cuz then every1 wood like them. But about this song i gotta kno, what the hell iz "beaver"? Is it sumthing weird? I dunno, but by the loox of things they don't have they're lyrics commented 2 often, so i doubt i'll have my question answered.
