Lie
Awake
Watching you run through my head
I'm alone again, but not for long my friend

We face another day
And distance has come and taken you far away again
But I'll see you soon my friend
And then I'll sing you my song

I cant go home alone again
No I cant
My friend
Until then

Eyes, I recognize
Taking me back
Familiar to me from some other time
Or maybe another life.

Remember our times, and know who I am
The memory stays, until we can breathe as one again
And I'm coming back my friend
And then I'll sing you my song

Oh yeah
And I cant go home alone again
No I cant go home all alone again
No I cant go home all alone again
No I cant
My friend
Until then

And I can't go home alone again
No I cant go home all alone again
No I cant go home all alone again
No I cant
My friend

Until then

    My Interpretation

    When I'm listening to this song I imagine some pictures of mind. I truly believe that this is like you're waking up early, it is morning, you're lying on your bed awake, but you realize that you're alone - when your best friend has gone. You realize that life is like paper sheet, can be torn so easy and so fast... We can't trust that it's so fast... You think "No, I can't go home all alone again" - that's like - "Now I don't want to live this life". You're living day by day, dejected, why the hell it has happened? ("Distance has come..." This distance is called death...) But you still remember, you know, and you assure your dead friend that you'll meet him soon again ("But I'll see you soon my friend"). "Eyes, I recognize, taking me back, familiar to me from some other time" - You remind your friend, you remind your time spent together. ("And I'm coming back my friend") Coming back... you know you'll gonna die someday, you want to this, you can't live without these beloved ones... that's so fuckin' sad... All of us can't imagine how to live without their loved ones... we are angry on them, doing bad things, but we still love them and can't imagine world without them. "Until then" finally you make yourself up, you know you're gonna meet your friend someday, you must live until it happens. So you live, and trying to forget. This song really dejecting and sad one... My eye is moist because of upcoming tears, It's hard and really sorrowful... unbelievable to live with that burden of grief.

    (sorry for still not good english, I hope you can understand, cheers to You all)

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.

He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
