Everything you do
Will make you separate from the lovers that you choose
Now your dreams are too confusing
I can’t remember what I’m losing

Cause everything you do
Will make you more like
All the drugs that you abuse
And now its easy to forget, huh?
Every reason to forget her, oh

Forget the phone
The smirking tigers ate their own
Now you know who sleeps alone
(And if I were you)
I would keep the truth
For them
And you

She called me on the phone
And all I heard was the bang, bang, bang!
The radio hit the floor
And I could tell that she wanted more

I’ll let you use your mouth
To show me what love’s all about
My tongue against your thighs tonight

Match maker, match maker make me a match
Conceived through a window, discovered in math
Inhale all the colors and cough out a map
These demons aren’t stopping this brilliant blood bath
Behind eyes

Watch the sun set, watch the sun set
It’s saying things that you’ll never forget
Watch the sun set, watch the sun set
It’s saying things that you’ll never forget

I could have said
All the things that make us sad
But never again
I think our mouths are just too fast
Through that porcelain crack
I can see she just wants nothing to fall
But it’s all gonna fall
I swear to God, if it weren’t for the fall…

We just wouldn’t fall
Let’s stand tall
And fall

Watch the sun set, watch the sun set
I bet you guessed I'm the best to forget

Well, I’m feeling fine
Between your legs

Just let me sleep here
For a few more days

Watch my tongue move, and give me credit
I’ve cheated language, don’t you dare forget it

With no one out here, this town begins to feel so small
Swans and opaque colors, these towns seem to me so dull
Her face in scotch tape and covered in gauze
I swear to God, if it weren’t for the Fall these leaves would seem so fucking far

I’m a little boy
Just a little kid
But I’m my own damn man
With my own damn plans

I’m glad you left me.
Goddamn.

Match maker, match maker spark up a match
Covered in color dissected in math
In flies an angel who’s back from the past
The deadness of winter distilled in a glass
Behind eyes

    I love this song. Best part is the Goddamn, he sounds so damn angry. hahaha.

    He's pretty much into the girl for the sex. Cause in some parts he says, for example: "Well, I'm feeling fine Between your legs Just let me sleep here For a few more days" And he doesn't want to get rid of her, probably cause of just being used to having her. "I could have said All the things that make us sad" But in the end they fight, apparently she calls him immature or something, and he says that he's a little kid but hes a man with his own plans. He then says he doesn't give a crap they broke up, and apparently starts looking for another girl when he says "Match maker, match maker spark up a match"

    Song is pretty much a common thing people do. They get involved with people they don't have much feelings for (generally one person is more into the other than vice-versa) but they get used to being with the person and don't wanna let go. Mainly these are the kind of people that don't like to be alone/single. After the other person gets the hint that they're not receiving the same feelings that they give, they go on with a fight, break up. And then the person goes on to find someone else really quickly.

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

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.

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
