We'll be together in the springtime...
She goes away today
He gives her a photo to help her remember
History of Art B.A.
It's alright ''Cos she's back in late November
But he knows not of who she's mixing
By christmas she's lying, not calling, she tricks him
So he goes up to stay
He don't like her friends, and he an't heard of Nietzsche
She's seems so far away
And the distance is further each time he meets her
Who's the bloke on the wall next to Ringo and Paul?
It's Che she says have you seen him before?
Open your window
Won't you let her out
Wave goodbye to the butterfly
The one you can't be without
Open your window
Won't you set her free
Where you are isn't where she's at
Or the place she's meant to be
He thinks they've grown apart
Now she uses big words like surreal and genre
And I know it breaks his heart
There's thousands of fellas that like it before you
Does the bloke on the wall next to Ringo and Paul mean she's some kind of
expert on guerrila war?
Open your window
Won't you let her out
Wave goodbye to the butterfly
The one you can't be without
Open your window
Won't you set her free
Where you are isn't where she's at
Or the place she's meant to be
Open your window
Won't you let her out
Wave bye bye bye
The one you can't be without
We'll be together in the springtime
And the sun will shine

    it’s about a guy feeling isolated after his girlfriend goes off to university. and it’s hard for him to realize they’re in different places in their lives now. after leaving home she has come to have aspirations that he doesn’t appear to fit into anymore. this is definitely one of my favorites on the album at the moment.

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

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.

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

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.
