It's time you knew that everybody leaves the lights on
So, why don't we hit the switch?
You better move
Better take off that attitude
But keep on those high heeled shoes

If you're getting up
Or you're getting down
Better wash your hands now

They say boys are messy
But you know girls just make a mess
So we don't care if we get dirty
We ain't here for cleanliness
(We're just making friends)

Go get the news (woo!) cause everybody wants to find out
Who's hitting heavy bricks
No time to lose, better blow up some balloons
And put on a face or two

If you're getting up
Or you're getting down
Better wash your hands now

They say boys are messy
But you know girls just make a mess
So we don't care if we get dirty
We ain't here for cleanliness
(We're just making friends)

They say boys are messy
But you know girls just make a mess
So we don't care
so we don't care

If you're getting up
Or you're getting down
If you're getting up
You better wash your hands now

They say boys are messy
But you know girls just make a mess
So we don't care if we get dirty
We ain't here for cleanliness
(We're just making friends) (x2)

    Sex. "Take off that attitude, but keep on those high-heeled shoes"? Kinda obvious on that one. But I also agree with nicolepeas, as well. Guys are messy, but girls just cause drama and make a mess with everything.

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
“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.
