She’s a girl with a problem
She’s a girl with a problem and there ain’t no cure

Well she works so hard and at the end of the day
Needs a little somethin’ extra to take it all away
They say love can conquer all and I wish it were true
She’s a girl with a problem and there’s nothin’ I can do
Nothin’ I can do

You can bang your head against a brick wall
You can lacquer Humpty Dumpty
But you can’t prevent a fall
Well bang, bang, bang, and there’s nobody home
She’s a girl with a problem, she wants to be alone

You can lie to me
You can lie to yourself for a while
‘Til those lies turn into something else
I will talk to you
You will listen to me for a while
Then you’ll turn your back and away you go
Away you go

Can somebody please help me
'Cause it’s drivin’ me mad
Sometimes she’s so good
But sometimes she’s just so bad
She thinks I don’t know but I’ve been there before
And more than once I’ve thought about just
Walkin’ out that door
Walkin’ out that door

Take me away
I know nothing lasts forever
Take me away

Well nobody wants the gallows
Nobody needs a noose
So break those chains and let her run loose
I love that little girl and I will love her ‘til the end
But she’s got a little problem
And she needs to have a good friend

You can lie to me
You can lie to yourself for a while
‘Til those lies turn into something else
I will talk to you
You will listen to me for a while
Then you’ll turn your back and away you go
Away you go

She’s a girl with a problem and it’s plain to see
I try to help her out, she won’t listen to me
She’s a girl with a problem
She’s a girl with a problem
She’s a girl with a problem
She’s a girl with a problem and there ain’t no cure

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

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.

Blue
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.
