(Pidgeon John)
wake up and smell the decay
alrigh today is the day
she is just shopping for shoes
frozen you stare in a daze
and shes amazing you can tell
?
standing there checking ?
and you just wanna know what this girl is all about
standing there she notices you staring and begins to pout
eye contact switch format, sweat rollnig down your back
nows you chance you say hello and your words begin to dance

(Busdriver)
*hey hey hey*
we hit the stage, ladies howl
wipe my face with a paper towel, haters bow
cuz they know we got the latest album ?
? but i like the girls fat breasts and thighs
and i dissed her in slow motion cuz i'm showboatin
and i'm sponsored by a ? exec with a waterin eye
who conquered the sky by sellin cigarettes that give me shortness of breathe
and he swindled me out of my endorsement check, but i don't care
cuz i'm a movie star, at the nudie bar puttin c notes in girls bikini tops
and when the cd drops, all we earn's the difference in half a penny that's why I'm black and skinny
*yeah here it goes*

(chorus)
? inhale pipe fumes and see the clowns and theres something floating in the shallow end
something bloating somebody call the pool man
*pidgeon john in background*
standing there noticing you and then she X2

(Busdriver)
? of sunshine, why don't you jump in my paper camera
we should chill sometime, it fits perfectly well in the day planner
?
? don't have to impersonate a black mare to get a good look at a blue thong
and you can be the girl ?
so i'm down on my knees and i'm asking if you want to get an apartment with me
you don't really have to cook and clean ?

(pidgeon John)
Its like when you fix your car, and you're feeling great
its like when your car breaks down on your first date
you take sudafed you stay up late and debate
? you feel so dumb she can't relate
but she's still cool with you smilin she makes a fool of you
you take the bus instead, no prob no attitude
its such a dream don't wake up you don't have too
on your way all your friends don't even matter do they

(chorus X2)
*in background*
eye contact switch format, sweat rollnig down your back
nows you chance you say hello and your words begin to dance

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
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.

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.

Amazing
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.

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.
