That's cool.
I guess you're fitted for solitude
This suit doesn't fit you
Lonely fish - cry in this cage
Does your owner ignore you?

Well, now I'm thinking that I
I've never seen you look so down
I wonder if your heart has been chewed on
Cause sometimes ----- does it
Sometimes they chew toys
For their amusement

Well, I don't want to say
That anything is wrong
But I might not be here
When you come over

It's not your fault
It's all your fault

It's just all the times you said
I wish I had some better friends
I want some lonely fish to call my own

That's fine.
I heard you're headed to home-base
And leaving me behind
Just great.
Now you're safe in your womb
Lock the door to your bedroom

And, and you can punch your walls
And you can yell out at cars
You can scratch
Your favorite band on your wrist
And you can call me up
And, and act like nothing's wrong when
When you get desperate

I don't want to say
That anything is wrong
But I might not be here
When you come over

It's not your fault
It's all your fault

It's just all the times you chewed
On all our feelings you've abused
This solitude is absences of pride

I guess the time I spent on you
Was a waste of my time
Well I guess..
It was a matter of circumstance
And I couldn't compromise

But, but I can play the part
And, and I can scander the role
But I don't want to be
In your sad movie

And when I look back
At my ------------
I cut your heart out
Of every single sec-tion

I don't want to say
That anything is wrong
But I might not be here
(I might not be here)
When you come over
(When you come around)

It's not your fault
It's all you fault

I hope you got the part I said
And as one nation--------
I'm signing off
I'm letting go
You dispenser
I --------

    i think the last verse is

    "i hope you got the part i said an explanation of our past im signing off im letting go you dispense so i desert"

    and i think the first missing line is

    "cause sometimes guys are dogs sometimes they chew toys..."

    im not sure about any of that though. also i think "fish" is actually "Finch"

    I always thought it was "The suit doesn't fit you, louie finch, he's crying in his cage..." but I know it's not Louie, hat would be funny though. And I figured out how to play this song, you cant find a tab anywhere, people are so stupid.

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.

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.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
