In the morning
I could take the burning sun
I could be the only warning but im not the only
So forgive me, Cause its more than I can bear
In demand I make my mind up by deciding not to care

Stop giving me choices
Stop giving me choices

I'm the victim, of this day and age
I've forgotten how to feel
I've forgotten how to change
So I surrender, to the apple of my eye
I surrender to the wind, I will let the wind decide

Stop giving me choices
Stop giving me choices
Stop giving me choices
Stop giving me choices

I could Break it, I could break it till it hurts
I could take Whatever words you say, Pretend I never heard
So Forgive me, shouldn't be so hard
It's they way I'm put together, so your never getting past

Cant we talk this through
Actions are not what I'm used to
Cant we talk this through
Actions are not what I'm used to

Stop giving me choices
Stop giving me choices
Stop giving me choices
Stop giving me choices
(I surrender)
Stop giving me choices
Stop giving me choices
(Just forgive me)
Stop giving me choices
Stop giving me choices

Without Friction, We Would float up into space
Maybe you could be the friction that will keep me in my place
In the morning, I could take the burning sun
I could be the only warning but I'm not the only one

    Ok i could be wrong but this is MY interpritaion and is up for debate.

    In the morning I could take the burning sun I could be the only warning but I'm not the only So forgive me, Cause its more than I can bear In demand I make my mind up by deciding not to care

    In the morning i think hes saying he can get up and lead a regular dull life but its not when wants, he cant handle it

    I'm the victim, of this day and age I've forgotten how to feel I've forgotten how to change So I surrender, to the apple of my eye I surrender to the wind, I will let the wind decide

    We live in a time where we become so desensitised to our emotions. We are told how to lead regular dull life. I think he feels the need to throw everything in and just see what happens.

    I could break it, I could break it till it hurts I could take whatever words you say, pretend I never heard So forgive me, shouldn't be so hard It's they way I'm put together, so your never getting past

    Sometimes people comment on how things are, and tell you cant. But thats the way he is and he feels he has to be adimant in this views.

    Without friction, we would float up into space Maybe you could be the friction that will keep me in my place In the morning, I could take the burning sun I could be the only warning but I'm not the only one

    I think the friction is a routine or comitments that hold you down; Space being the oposite extreme. And he asks is this going to hold him down. Again in the morning he is saying he like that, the 'warnings', will happen again cause its who he is and wont change.

    thats what i took out it anyway

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.

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.

Blue
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.
Album art
Punchline
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.
