Your New Boyfriend
I remember when we were together and
We used fancy words just like “forever” and
We controlled the Moon, and willed the stars to shine.
Now, it seems I can't, can't get you off of my mind.
I know that I was the one running ‘round the town.
But something told me that you might stick around,
Then yesterday I saw
You and your new boyfriend, were walking hand in hand.
cnd I just can't remember when it hurt so bad.
cnd yeah, I know, I know, I know I'm the one to blame
For getting caught up in the game. You've got a new boyfriend,
cnd I'm alone again.
I recall a time when we were hand in hand
Taking on the world without a second glance.
Friends would stop to say “Oh, what a perfect pair”.
I recall a time, a time when you were there.
It's such a sorry old song, you don't know what you've got till it's gone.
But all our friends that used to carry on,
Well, they're all talkin' ‘bout
You and your new boyfriend, are walking hand in hand.
cnd I just can't remember when I felt so sad.
cnd yeah, I know, I know, I know I'm the one to blame
For getting caught up in the game. You've got a new boyfriend,
cnd I want you back again.
cnd I wonder, is this how it's meant to be?
Do you tell him all the things that you told me
When we were beautiful, and brilliant like the sun?
Well how am I to keep on going, knowing that we're done?
cnd I know, I know it's over, and I can't go back in time.
If I could I would, cause you should still be mine.
But that's all over now.
You've got a new boyfriend, and you're walking hand in hand.
cnd I just can't remember when, it hurt so bad.
cnd yes, I know, I know, I know I'm the one to blame
for chasing my fortune and fame. You've got a new boyfriend,
cnd I'm alone again.
I remember when we were together and
We used fancy words just like “forever” and
We controlled the Moon, and willed the stars to shine.
Now, it seems I can't, can't get you off of my mind.

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.
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.
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.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
