There's poison in the boys in blue,
There's poison in the boys in blue...
Corruption, greed and feud are all I see!

You're in a disarray,
Things used to be a different way,
Whatever happened to the golden age?

It's gone, yeah, it's gone away...
So don't ever turn your back again...
(One false move and we're all dead.)

Here I am,
Here I am,
Here I am.
I'm back at the crossroads again...
Oh, let me stand, let me stand, let me stand,
On top of the mountain again!

There's movement in the distance,
Gunshots are what I hear,
This petty resistance is all I see!

I want to walk away...
Remember better days...
We watch the death of something beautiful!

It's gone, yeah, it's gone away...
So don't ever turn your back again...
(One false move and we're all dead.)

Here I am,
Here I am,
Here I am.
I'm back at the crossroads again...
Oh, let me stand, let me stand, let me stand,
On top of the mountain again!

When we find a problem,
We never look back and say,
"One chance, one moment,
It's gone so easily!"

Well, here I am,
Here I am,
Here I am...
I'm back at the crossroads again...
Oh, let me stand, let me stand, let me stand,
On top of the mountain again!

Oh, here I am,
Here I am,
Here I am...
I'm back at the crossroads again...
Oh, let me stand, let me stand, let me stand,
On top of the mountain again!

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”

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.

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.
