This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
Wish I could Keep You Much Longer
I know You gotta Go 'cause you got things to do
Wish I could Keep You Much Longer
Now You to Busy for Me Girl like I was To You
Wish I could Stop By
And Maybe Say, "Hi"
Wish I could just Stop By
And Lay By Your Side
The Tables have Turned
And I've Finally Learned
That this is Makin' Up for Every Day I was Gone
And that's Why I'm Concerned
But Now it's Confirmed
That You Spread Your Wings and Learned to Fly All Alone
Darkness in the Night
I'll Find that Light for You
As Long as I got Eyes
I'll have a Sight for You
Long as I am Alive Baby I?d Die for You
I Wanna Be With You
Wish I could Keep You Much Longer
I know You gotta Go 'cause you got things to do
Wish I could Keep You Much Longer
Now You to Busy for Me Girl like I was To You
Wish I could Stop By
And Maybe Say, "Hi"
Wish I could just Stop By
And Lay By Your Side
You're Always On My Mind
While I'm Racin'
While I'm Paper Chasin'
You Were There when I said One Day I'd Get Up Out that basement
Playin' as My Agent
For You, There's No Replacement
You Will Always Be My Girl
and You can Hold Me on that Statement
Darkness in the Night
I'll Find that Light for You

Gotta Get that Money First before You Come Spend that Precious Time with Your Boo

Even though it's Drivin' Me Crazy
Always Wanted to See My Girl Make It

Little Feat
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”
No Surprises

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.
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.
Page
Ed Sheeran
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.
It seems to be about a girl he misses and longs to be with. He used to not have time for her and now the "tables have turned" and he has time for her but she doesn't have time for him. So they have very little time together. Great song imo.
one of my guy friends told me to listen to this. he was always too busy to even just catch up and say hi... but now im the one who is always busy, i know he loves me , but i keep going out with these tossers ,(its easy to say that about them now, but when ur in the moment your blinded by love) he knows there not good guys for me...i never learn but he is always wanting to be with me.. its a shame i dont love him the way he loves me,
