Drink up beautiful
I spiked your cup with angst and a heart attack,
'Cause I've got so much trapped and it's all because of you
So I figured you might like some back

But when I see her I'll tell her what's been on my mind all these sleepless night
She'll recite her excuses I'll put my tail between these legs of mine like I do all the time

I can't live my life knowing you'll be in his arms each time I blink my eyes
I know what goes on behind my back,
Every night I'm afraid I'll never leave,
Afraid I'll never know what's good for me

But when I see her I'll tell her what's been on my mind all these sleepless night
She'll recite her excuses I'll put my tail between these legs of mine like I do all the time

And now you say that,
You say you love me
Well I may have your heart, but he has your body
And now you swear that you're being honest,
But you're not honest, you never could be

But when I see her I'll tell her what's been on my mind all these sleepless night
She'll recite her excuses I'll put my tail between these legs of mine like I do all the time

    ah what a pretty song, I think its pretty obvious that is about a guy who knows he's girlfriend is cheating on him, but he cant come to terms with it, he can't confront her cause he knows she'll come up with all these excuses. And he knows shes just lying.

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.
