i've been sitting here for an hour.
i guess you just forgot to say hello.
you pretend that you never saw me here.
so someone broke your heart,
i'm breaking mine.
'cause you just don't have enough _
to know it's done.

i don't think you understand how this feels.
i haven't called you in a week.
yeah, i know it's a been a long time.
no, nothing, nevermind.
i was just talking to myself.
'cause you really don't deserve
to know how i feel anyway.
you can just go home and play all of
your stupid rock and roll
and try on all your brand new leather pants
'cause damn, they look so good on you now.

i still don't get why you asked me to call.
i guess you had too much to drink
and you needed someone else to want you.
this isn't fun anymore.
it's all just a little too much karma
coming back to get me all at once.

so i won't look to see if you're still here
when i think _
although it doesn't matter that much to me.

you can do that sexy dance
to make sure everyone still wants you
when the night is over
and you still don't have someone to love
and you can just go home all by yourself
and play that music really loud
so no one hears you when you start to cry all by yourself.

i've done it all to myself this time.
and i've done it to myself again
i've done it all to myself this time.
there's no one else to blame.
you're just in my way.
and if i see you, it can make me have a bad day.
please just go away.
there's no one else to blame here
you're just in my way.
sometimes i feel like throwing up.
please just go home.
'cause i've done it to myself
there's no one else to blame here.
i've done it all to myself.

    The first album called Sadstyle (that this song is on) was released by Brown Records in 2001, if that helps.

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
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”

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

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.
