This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Feeling stuck? Self-loathing? Shoegazing? Pesky flies getting you down?
Try new supersonic Flypaper. It's catchy, and it's pop
Flypaper, do it again, do it again
Do it again, can he do it again?
Do it again, do it again
Do it again, can we do it?
Yeah, you see everyday
All the people standing at the train station
Left, right, left, right, left, right
We don't talk to each other now
What an alien nation
Uptight, uptight, uptight
I hope one day some things can get better
I hope some way our hearts can change the weather
As we walk this yellow road and try to shake the load
In this 4-1-6 area code
It's another night in TV land
I say
I'm not one to repeat myself
But if it ain't broken don't fix it
I see you burning all that midnight oil
But I'm caught between a rock and a hard place
That's why I'm walking in the city with a hard face
Seems I'm afraid of being afraid
Do it again, do it again
Do it again, can we do it?
You think I don't know
Oh how I see your eyes run dry
Subliminal pro, I've got to go
Just so I can be the pawn in your chess game
the fame for checkmate,
I've got a new mind state
Plus I've got the power of the cat, rotate
I'm straight digging in my record crate
Lights in your party so they leave the hate
Time is a thief that leaves nothing behind
And I've got no grief or axe to grind in this fair city
I'm just a man who wants to understand
Who wants to know the plans, tell me the plans, tell me the plans
I'm not one to repeat myself
But if it ain't broken don't fix it
I see you burning all that midnight oil
But I'm caught between a rock and a hard place
That's why I'm walking in the city with a hard face
Seems I'm afraid of being afraid
Do it again, do it again
Do it again, can we do it?
Yo, ok it seems at times that I'm under hypnosis
I suppose this city life is a process
I wrote this, like a million years ago
Tried to get out of the game a million tears ago
But I'm back, chillin', illin' for top billin'
Levitate to the ceiling by resurrecting the feeling
Hip-hop, it started out in the park
Are we lost in the dark? I think we maybe forgot.
But never mind that, we like to party
We don't start trouble and we don't bother nobody
'Cause Y is a letter with the long long tail
And I write these lyrics you can feel like brail
Hail, the most high, I post high
I used to swing low, now I let the crabs know that
My antimatter is shattering any ladder thats crawling with snakes
Make no mistake, we're not fake, wake up
I'm not one to repeat myself
But if it ain't broken don't fix it
I see you burning all that midnight oil
But I'm caught between a rock and a hard place
That's why I'm walking in the city with a hard face
Seems I'm afraid of being afraid
Ooh, got stuck, ooh, FlyPaper
I don't care, I don't care
Who's that girl? She's FlyPaper
She don't care, she don't care
Try new supersonic Flypaper. It's catchy, and it's pop
Flypaper, do it again, do it again
Do it again, can he do it again?
Do it again, do it again
Do it again, can we do it?
Yeah, you see everyday
All the people standing at the train station
Left, right, left, right, left, right
We don't talk to each other now
What an alien nation
Uptight, uptight, uptight
I hope one day some things can get better
I hope some way our hearts can change the weather

Do it again, do it again
Do it again, can we do it?

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”
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.
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.
Definatly based around living in Toronto... the area code gives it away. I live the jive/ regee feeling in this sound. highly Addictive:)
wow this song is really good.
In the 1st verse I think it explains how people don't connect much and says that maybe someday we can change for the better.
I'm doing an english project on this so if anybody has any ideas of what else it could be it would be great if you posted...
good song hate the intro
Just a few corrections? Lolxors at no one noticing.
Just so I can be the pound in your chest Game the fame for checkmate,
Just so I can be the pawn in your chess- Game, for fame, but checkmate.
This makes a tad more sense along with the checkmate, and I definetely here pawn/chess instead of pound/chest.
Make no mistake we not fate, wake up -> Make no mistake, we're not fake, wake up
Makes a tad more sense, and it rhymes along with the -ake phonetics. Just like Kevin loves to go along with phonetic-rhyming.
This song is obviously about living in Toronto, indeed, but in general it's about moving out, alienating from your parents, no longer talking to them, maybe even losing some 'hometown' friends.
The FlyPaper is probably a metaphor for everything and everyone trying to keep you near them, close to them, in some town where you can't grow. Or something like that.
That's why his city life is a process, he's out in the real world, growing and all. It seems he's afraid of being afraid of losing everyone. He's caught between a rock and a hard place: A rock IS hard. He feels trapped.
In the end, I think it's about trying to figure himself out. He know what he wants to say, but he doesn't know how to word it. This would also make a tad sense on the few sentences that are just implented to make the song rhyme. The may appear random, but are just a way of expressing themselves.
Mmm, in my head I know how I can 'translate' and 'relate' to the song, but writing it down seems a tad harder. Feel free to discuss anything I said. I'd love you too :).
I definetely hear. I don't 'here'. Typo :). I wish there was an edit button of some sort.
I really love this song!
but since endlish is not my mother tongue i´m not quite sure about the part in the end of the song when he sings:
Who's that girl? She's FlyPaper She don't care, she don't care
I mean you can´t translate it word by word,...right?
What does flypaper stand in this context for? That she is someone who gets the attention of the people (the pesky flys) and that she doesn´t care? `Cause she doesn´t mind? And that this is something positive?
Or maybe i´m totally wrong? I would appreciate any suggestions.
Y is a letter with a long long tale. Since birth yo.
