This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Oh, my heart, it's a fish out of water
Oh, my heart, it's a fish on the rocks and it bakes in the bad sun
Oh, my heart, it's a rock in the gutter
Oh, my heart, it's a rocking great boulder and stuck in the gutter
And I throw my heart back to the ocean
But it don't go far, it come back floating
And I watch it wash up with the dead fish
But it ain't quite dead, it just is lifeless
Oh, my heart, it's a house in tornado
Oh, my heart, it's a house in the sky in the eye of tornado
Oh, my heart, it's a roof in El Niño
Oh, my heart, it's a roof made of straw in the jaw of El Niño
And I pour my heart a new foundation
But it don't set hard, it just stays shaking
And I scratch my name, I scratch my name in
But it don't set hard, it gets mixed back in
Bum, bum, bum
Bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum
Bum, bum, bum
Bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum
Bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum
Bum, bum, bum
Oh, my heart, it's fish out of water
Oh, my heart, it's a rock in the gutter
Oh, my heart, it's a black in a rainbow
Oh, my heart, it's so damn cold
So damn cold
And I throw my heart into the fire
'Cause I want to set my heart on fire
And I watch it try befriending embers
But the ice don't melt in mid December
Oh, my heart, it's a fish out of water
Oh, my heart, it's a fish on the rocks and it bakes in the bad sun
Oh, my heart, it's a fish on the rocks and it bakes in the bad sun
Oh, my heart, it's a rock in the gutter
Oh, my heart, it's a rocking great boulder and stuck in the gutter
And I throw my heart back to the ocean
But it don't go far, it come back floating
And I watch it wash up with the dead fish
But it ain't quite dead, it just is lifeless
Oh, my heart, it's a house in tornado
Oh, my heart, it's a house in the sky in the eye of tornado
Oh, my heart, it's a roof in El Niño
Oh, my heart, it's a roof made of straw in the jaw of El Niño
And I pour my heart a new foundation
But it don't set hard, it just stays shaking
And I scratch my name, I scratch my name in
But it don't set hard, it gets mixed back in
Bum, bum, bum
Bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum
Bum, bum, bum
Bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum
Bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum
Bum, bum, bum
Oh, my heart, it's fish out of water
Oh, my heart, it's a rock in the gutter
Oh, my heart, it's a black in a rainbow
Oh, my heart, it's so damn cold
So damn cold
And I throw my heart into the fire
'Cause I want to set my heart on fire
And I watch it try befriending embers
But the ice don't melt in mid December
Oh, my heart, it's a fish out of water
Oh, my heart, it's a fish on the rocks and it bakes in the bad sun

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.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
On Mother Mother's CBC Radio 3 Session, Ryan G. told the host Tariq that this song was about being indifferent about a lot of things but yourself... and painfully, consciously feeling bad about it:
'That sort of tormented exclamation "O my heart!" sort of conjured up feelings of not really being able to engage with other people emotionally and inspired this song, that theme. It's something that I feel from time to time... I'm sure everybody feels it, too. Sometimes, you just wanna be more compassionate, and you wanna empathise with someone or the world; and you are just stoic, you are just so removed and comfortable there, but at the same time you feel a little bit guilty. Because it's good to care about things other than yourself.' (check it out!! radio3.cbc.ca)
I especially like the way all of this is phrased in the line about his heart that 'just stays shaking' despite trying to give it a stronger foundation (like they would for buildings vulnerable against earthquakes).
