This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
My car leaves at 8 and I'm off to a place where people pay to hear my mistakes
Another lonely room filled with pictures and furniture that best describe my mood
And though this bed feels warm my heart grows cold
I'm on the verge of giving up everything I've ever known It seems so easy…
This is my life here on display for the whole world to see
Blinded by lights hiding this pain makes it harder for me to breathe
Let me down and let me be free
I exit the stage left with the feeling people are pleased by the smiles that they make
And it's a long way from home caught in the struggles and tensions of
the feelings that I could not show But it's the life I chose and on this road
I'll lie alone with the secrets that I have never told It seems so easy…
This is my life here on display for the whole world to see
Blinded by lights hiding this pain makes it harder for me to breathe
Let me down and let me be free
And how long can I keep pretending that everything good isn't ending
And how long can I keep denying and lying to myself…
This is my life here on display for the whole world to see
Blinded by lights hiding this pain makes it harder for me to breathe
Let me down and let me be free
Another lonely room filled with pictures and furniture that best describe my mood
And though this bed feels warm my heart grows cold
I'm on the verge of giving up everything I've ever known It seems so easy…
This is my life here on display for the whole world to see
Blinded by lights hiding this pain makes it harder for me to breathe
Let me down and let me be free
I exit the stage left with the feeling people are pleased by the smiles that they make
And it's a long way from home caught in the struggles and tensions of
the feelings that I could not show But it's the life I chose and on this road
I'll lie alone with the secrets that I have never told It seems so easy…
This is my life here on display for the whole world to see
Blinded by lights hiding this pain makes it harder for me to breathe
Let me down and let me be free
And how long can I keep pretending that everything good isn't ending
And how long can I keep denying and lying to myself…
This is my life here on display for the whole world to see
Blinded by lights hiding this pain makes it harder for me to breathe
Let me down and let me be free

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
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.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
