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”
BFF and you're such a good friend
But I knew it couldn't last 'til summer's end
You signed my yearbook and that was pretty rad
And now I'm getting sick of you and it's just too bad
I heard you talked a lot of shit about me
To your new best friend
Doesn't matter anyway
'Cause I've found a brand new friend, okay
Me and her, we'll kick your ass
We'll wait with knives after class
But you know I gotta say
I really loved going to your slumber party
It's too bad you got so lame
You told my secrets and it caused me a lot of pain
I heard you talked a lot of shit about me
To your new best friend
Doesn't matter anyway
'Cause I've found a brand new friend, okay
Me and her, we'll kick your ass
We'll wait with knives after class
Now give me back all the clothes you borrowed
Don't give me bullshit, bring 'em to school tomorrow
I can't believe I told you all about my secret crush
I wish I could take it back now that you broke my trust
It was great how you made me a friendship bracelet
But I didn't know you made one for Becky's face lift
You now know everyone hates me a whole bunch
Just because I made you cry a little bit at lunch
But I don't feel bad
'Cause they don't know what we had
Doesn't matter anyway
'Cause I've found a brand new friend, okay
Me and her, we'll kick your ass
We'll wait with knives after class
We don't like Becky anymore
We don't like Becky anymore
We don't like Becky anymore
We don't like Becky anymore
Now I'm going to juvy for teenage homicide
It'll would've been cool if you stayed by my side
Then you'd know that you wouldn't have had to die
And now every single night I cry
If only what you wrote in my yearbook was true
Then I wouldn't be stuck in fucking cell block 2
But I don't regret what I've done
'Cause in the end it was fun
Doesn't matter anyway
'Cause I've found a brand new friend, okay
Me and her, we'll kick your ass
We'll wait with knives after class
Doesn't matter anyway
'Cause I've found a brand new friend, okay
Me and her, we'll kick your ass
We'll wait with knives after class
But I knew it couldn't last 'til summer's end
You signed my yearbook and that was pretty rad
And now I'm getting sick of you and it's just too bad
I heard you talked a lot of shit about me
To your new best friend
Doesn't matter anyway
'Cause I've found a brand new friend, okay
Me and her, we'll kick your ass
We'll wait with knives after class
But you know I gotta say
I really loved going to your slumber party
It's too bad you got so lame
You told my secrets and it caused me a lot of pain
I heard you talked a lot of shit about me
To your new best friend
Doesn't matter anyway
'Cause I've found a brand new friend, okay
Me and her, we'll kick your ass
We'll wait with knives after class
Now give me back all the clothes you borrowed
Don't give me bullshit, bring 'em to school tomorrow
I can't believe I told you all about my secret crush
I wish I could take it back now that you broke my trust
It was great how you made me a friendship bracelet
But I didn't know you made one for Becky's face lift
You now know everyone hates me a whole bunch
Just because I made you cry a little bit at lunch

We don't like Becky anymore
We don't like Becky anymore

'Cause I've found a brand new friend, okay
Me and her, we'll kick your ass
We'll wait with knives after class
Doesn't matter anyway
'Cause I've found a brand new friend, okay
Me and her, we'll kick your ass
We'll wait with knives after class

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.
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.
THis is one of the best songs on the album.
beyond just being about a girl murdering her ex-best friend, i think it shows how pointless school violence is. which seems to be very popular in america
