Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
So fair she looked tonight
The brightest star appeals to your sex
Before we do anything
Let me just talk to you
When two are in love
They whisper secrets Only they to can hear
When two are in love
When to are in love (love)
Their stomachs will pound
Every time the other comes near
When two are in love
When two are in love
Falling leaves will appear to them
Like slow motion rain (slow motion, slow motion)
When two are in love
The speed of their hips
Can be faster than a runaway train
Drop, drop, drop, drop, water, water, water
Come bathe with me
Let's drown each other in each others emotions
Bathe with me
Let's cover each other with perfume and lotion
Bathe with me
Uh, let me touch your body 'til your river's an ocean
Bathe with me
Let's kiss with one synonymous notion
Nothing's forbidden and nothing's taboo (nothing's taboo)
When the to are in love (L-O-V-E)
Can you hear me?
When to are in love (when to are in love)
Their bodies shiver at the mere contemplation
Of penetration (let alone the act)
Let alone the actual act
When to are in love
The thought of his tongue in the V of her love
In his mind, this thought it leads the pack
Come bathe with me
Let's drown each other in each others emotions
Bathe with me
Let's cover each other with perfume and lotion
Bathe with me
Let me touch your body 'til your river's an ocean
Bathe with me
Let's kiss with one synonymous notion
Nothing's forbidden and nothing's taboo (nothing's taboo)
When the to are in love
(Love) in love, can you hear me?
(Hold me)
(Yeah)
(Just like that)
(Don't move)
The brightest star appeals to your sex
Before we do anything
Let me just talk to you
When two are in love
They whisper secrets Only they to can hear
When two are in love
When to are in love (love)
Their stomachs will pound
Every time the other comes near
When two are in love
When two are in love
Falling leaves will appear to them
Like slow motion rain (slow motion, slow motion)
When two are in love
The speed of their hips
Can be faster than a runaway train
Drop, drop, drop, drop, water, water, water
Come bathe with me
Let's drown each other in each others emotions
Bathe with me
Let's cover each other with perfume and lotion
Bathe with me
Uh, let me touch your body 'til your river's an ocean
Bathe with me
Let's kiss with one synonymous notion
Nothing's forbidden and nothing's taboo (nothing's taboo)
When the to are in love (L-O-V-E)
Can you hear me?
When to are in love (when to are in love)
Their bodies shiver at the mere contemplation
Of penetration (let alone the act)
Let alone the actual act
When to are in love
The thought of his tongue in the V of her love
In his mind, this thought it leads the pack
Come bathe with me
Let's drown each other in each others emotions
Bathe with me
Let's cover each other with perfume and lotion
Bathe with me
Let me touch your body 'til your river's an ocean
Bathe with me
Let's kiss with one synonymous notion
Nothing's forbidden and nothing's taboo (nothing's taboo)
When the to are in love
(Love) in love, can you hear me?

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
No Surprises
Radiohead
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.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
WHO write better love songs than Prince???
WHO I ask u?!
no one comes close to Prince's lyrical prowess!
