This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Out of the box, out of the kitchen
Out of the world she's grown so fearful of
So fearful of
I don't ever want to see you again
I don't ever want to see you again
I don't ever want to see you again
I don't ever want to see you again, my friend
This is the end
Out of the house, she grabs the keys
Runs for the hills and doesn't leave a letter
That way the impact will be much better
Away from the man that she's grown so fearful of
So fearful of
I don't ever want to see you again
I don't ever want to see you again
I don't ever want to see you again
I don't ever want to see you again
Why, oh why do you wear sunglasses in the home when
The sun went out about an hour ago?
Why, oh why do you wear sunglasses in the home when
The sun went out about an hour ago?
Life should not be that way
Always up or down, never down and out
Dream of demons while you sleep
That make you stutter when you speak
Always up or down, never down and out
Dream of demons while you sleep
That make you stutter when you speak
Speak now or forever hold your peace in pieces
Now that I'm grown I've seen marriages fall to pieces
Now that I'm grown I've seen friendships fall to pieces
Weekend warriors, and our best friends
The writers weren't kidding about how all good things must end
Then again, some things-
Then again, some things are far too good-
Some things are far too good to go ahead and let go
Always up or down, never down and out
Dream of demons while you sleep
That make you stutter when you speak
Always up or down, never down and out
Dream of demons while you sleep
That make you stutter when you speak
Speak now or forever hold your peace
We won't forget Tony or Johnny
No matter how they miss us they still wish us the best on the road
Garrett took a plane to Paris, France
Now he's cooking up entrees for the pretty, pretty French girls
Bookends, Blue and Clarity, to The Wall and Grace
Darkside, Wish and a toast to the late Figure 8
Weekend warriors and our best friends
The writers weren't kidding but the good things will live in our hearts
Always up or down, never down and out
Dream of demons while you sleep
That make you stutter when you speak (stutter when you speak)
Always up or down, never down and out
Dream of demons while you sleep
That make you stutter when you speak (never down)
Always up or down, never down and out
Dream of demons while you sleep
That make you stutter when you speak (never down)
Always up or down, never down and out
Dream of demons while you sleep
That make you stutter when you speak
Speak now or forever hold your peace in pieces
Out of the world she's grown so fearful of
So fearful of
I don't ever want to see you again
I don't ever want to see you again
I don't ever want to see you again
I don't ever want to see you again, my friend
This is the end
Out of the house, she grabs the keys
Runs for the hills and doesn't leave a letter
That way the impact will be much better
Away from the man that she's grown so fearful of
So fearful of
I don't ever want to see you again
I don't ever want to see you again
I don't ever want to see you again
I don't ever want to see you again
Why, oh why do you wear sunglasses in the home when
The sun went out about an hour ago?
Why, oh why do you wear sunglasses in the home when

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.
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
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.
Page

Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
This is one of my favorite songs off the new CD. They are such a great band live too. The first half of the song makes me think that "she" is being abused in a relationship, but then I'm not sure about the second half.
my favorite song off the CD
The Academy Is... is such an awesome band. A lot like Fallout Boy IMO but a tad bit more melodic, maybe? I can't place it, but there is something really different between the two...
Anyway. The first stanza to me is about a girl who is trapped in a world that she is mistreated in and she is going to leave.
The "why o why you where sunglasses in the home" part is kind of like, asking "why are you hiding from yourself? (or possibly life in general)
The chorus is pretty self explanatory and so is the following verse. The stanza that starts with "We won't forget Tony and Johnny" seems to be about how everyone in this guy's circle of friends went away to do their own thing, leaving behind "the good thing" mentioned.
Great song!
When I saw TAI in Chicago opening for Something Corporate He dedicated this to one of his friends.. I really didn't think this would be the best choice for a friend.. but I do love the song.
Okay there's some obvious shout outs in this song, such as Blue (Weezer), Clarity (Jimmy Eat World), Late Figure 8 (Elliott Smith), Darkside, the Wall, and Wish (all Pink Floyd) and Bookends (Simon and Garfunkel?? possibly?) but where did "Grace" come from?
the beginning has to be about someone in an abusive relationship. "why oh why you wear sunglasses in the home"? that's what i got from it, at least.
in response to the person who was wondering where "Grace" came from... It's a wonderful cd by Jeff Buckley. one of my favorites.
Why do I wear sunglasses in the home, When the sun went out about an hour ago? Why do I wear sunglasses in the home, When the sun went out about an hour ago? Life should not be that way.
^^^for some reason that makes me think that like, she gets abused? has black eyes? so she wears sunglasses to cover it up, thats why it says ''Life should not be that way.''
that does make sense. the shout outs are pretty obvious. i think it's about a girl leaving her abusive father. just kind of strikes me that way. i think it's the whole running away thing. it's more of a teenage girl kind of thing rather than an abused wife. the sunglasses part makes sense though. i love the "speak now or forever hold your peace in pieces" part. his voice just totally takes over the song.
RiiPo
late response, but i'm thinking she wears sunglasses inside from crying as well. for example, at a funeral you wear sunglasses to cover you emotions. i don't know
