I remember when we first met
I hadn't made a fool of myself yet
Wanted us to get away
But there wasn't anywhere that we could stay

Lost my job and my apartment too
Just so I could spend more time with you
I didn't want to deal with reality
I just wanted to feel with intensity

I would sink to the bottom of the ocean
If I knew that's where you were going
I would kiss the feet of businessmen
If I knew you had hired them

That's how far I would go
I would easily sink that low
That's how far I would go
I would easily sink that low

Can't believe that I'm hearing this now
Climbed so high and I'm not looking down
Only so much a man can take
Before he knows what he leads in his way

Found a job and an apartment too
Just so I can spend more time with you
I don't wanna deal with reality
I just wanna feel with intensity

I would sink to the bottom of the ocean
If I knew that's where you were going
I would kiss the feet of businessmen
If I knew you had hired them

That's how far I would go
I would easily sink that low
That's how far I would go
I would easily sink that low

You brought me here
You'll take me home
We'll finally have a moment alone
That's what I call love
That's what I call love

Brought me here
You'll take me home
We'll finally have a moment alone
That's what I call love
That's what I call love

I would sink to the bottom of the ocean
If I knew that's where you were going
I would kiss the ass of businessmen
If I knew you had hired them

That's how far I would go
I would easily sink that low
That's how far I would go
I would easily sink that low

    pretty sure the lyric is "what he leaves in his wake", not "what he leads in his way".

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

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.

Amazing
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.

Midnight
Ed Sheeran
“Midnight” is a song about finding a love that is so true that it provides a calming feeling through every storm. Ed Sheeran reflects on his good fortunes in landing someone with such peace and support and speaks of not fearing the dark days because he knows they’ll all end in the safety nets of her arms. “Well, good morning there / What a way to start the day / With everything laid bare,” Ed Sheeran sings in the first verse, enthusiastic to be waking up beside his woman. He apologizes for missing her calls in the second verse and promises to return them because for him, speaking to her is the most important thing. “Well, I get lost inside my head / In this chaos, you’re my calm / And I will find my feet again / ‘Cause еven the worst days of my life will always еnd / At midnight in your arms,” sings Ed Sheeran in the chorus, revelling in his good luck.
