Right now behind my eyes
It's early morning
I'm trying to get you but you don't understand
I'm so cheap
Right now behind your eyes
A dragon's tongue lashing out
I'm trying to get you but you don't realize
I'm a nightmare

Oh, I know, it's coming back
And I say oh, oh lord, yeah it's driving me mad

Right then behind my lies
Some scratch lashing out
I'm trying to hold you but you don't want to know I'm so cheap
You're trying to hurt me
But I won't let you go
I'm so cheap

Oh, I know, it's coming back
And I say oh, lord, yeah it's driving me mad

Oh no, please, don't leave, don't go

Oh, I know, it's coming back
Darling, darling...you're mean
Mean to me

Oh, I know, it's coming back
Oh no
Hold back
Oh, oh lord, yeah it's coming back
And I say ooo, Jesus Christ, yeah it's driving me mad
I said it's driving me mad
It's driving me mad
Yeah it's driving me mad
Yeah it's driving me mad
But no more no more no more no more
No more no more no more
I said, higher higher higher higher
I'm coming up to meet you
Higher higher higher higher
I'm coming up to meet you, yeah
I'm coming up to meet you, yeah

    I think this is about doing something with someone that you really shouldn'tve done (perhaps while drunk?) and really regretting it afterwards? And perhaps trying to talk to them about it afterwards but them just not wanting to know?

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.

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
