I've got a memory
Of nothing new
I've only memorized
All thoughts of you

I'm pushing on tomorrows
Gotta go, gotta go
Gotta get you back
I'm pushing all thoughts forward

?Cause you are the one day
That tells me that someday
I'll get what to choose

You are the one thing
That gives me that something
Persuasion of you

I feel you resonate
I swear I do
You've got my earth vibrating
No matter where I'm running to

I'm pushing on tomorrow
Gotta go, gotta go
Till I get you back
I'm pushing all thoughts forward

?Cause you are the one day
That tells me that someday
I get what to choose

You are the one thing
That gives me that something
Persuasion of you

Yeah, you are the one day
That tells me that someday
I'll get what to choose

Yeah, you are the one thing
That gives me that something
Persuasion of you

don't hold back
Hold back my world
Don't hold back
Hold back now, girl

You are the one day
That tells me that someday
I'll get what to choose

?Cause you are the one thing
That gives me that something
Persuasion of you

?Cause you are the one day
That tells me that someday
I get what to choose

You are the one thing
That gives me that something
Persuasion of you

Yeah, you are the one day
That tells me that someday
I'll get what to choose

Yeah, you are the one thing
That gives me that something
Persuasion of you

    This song is very deep. It reminds me of my difficulty to ever find a girl.

    Kick ass song! Collective Soul is one of the most underrated bands of all time.IMO the best band of the late 90's. this is a song about the creator.

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.

Page
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.
