This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
A million miles away
Your signal in the distance
To whom it may concern
I think I lost my way
Getting good at starting over
Every time that I return
Learning to walk again
I believe I've waited long enough
Where do I begin?
Learning to talk again
Can't you see I've waited long enough?
Where do I begin?
Do you remember the days?
We built these paper mountains
Then sat and watched them burn
I think I found my place
Can't you feel it growing stronger
Little conquerors
Learning to walk again
I believe I've waited long enough
Where do I begin?
Learning to talk again
I believe I've waited long enough
Where do I begin?
Now
For the very first time
Don't you pay no mind
Set me free, again
To keep alive, a moment at a time
That's still inside, a whisper to a riot
The sacrifice, the knowing to survive
That first decline, another state of mind
I'm on my knees, I'm praying for a sign
Forever, whenever, I never wanna die
I never wanna die
I never wanna die
I'm on my knees, I never wanna die
I'm dancing on my grave
I'm running through the fire
Forever, whenever
I never wanna die
I never wanna leave
I'll never say goodbye
Forever, whenever
Forever, whenever
Learning to walk again
I believe I've waited long enough
Where do I begin?
Learning to talk again
Can't you see I've waited long enough?
Where do I begin?
Learning to walk again
I believe I've waited long enough
Learning to talk again
Can't you see I've waited long enough?
Your signal in the distance
To whom it may concern
I think I lost my way
Getting good at starting over
Every time that I return
Learning to walk again
I believe I've waited long enough
Where do I begin?
Learning to talk again
Can't you see I've waited long enough?
Where do I begin?
Do you remember the days?
We built these paper mountains
Then sat and watched them burn
I think I found my place
Can't you feel it growing stronger
Little conquerors
Learning to walk again
I believe I've waited long enough
Where do I begin?
Learning to talk again
I believe I've waited long enough
Where do I begin?
Now
For the very first time
Don't you pay no mind
Set me free, again
To keep alive, a moment at a time
That's still inside, a whisper to a riot
The sacrifice, the knowing to survive
That first decline, another state of mind
I'm on my knees, I'm praying for a sign
Forever, whenever, I never wanna die
I never wanna die
I never wanna die
I'm on my knees, I never wanna die
I'm dancing on my grave
I'm running through the fire
Forever, whenever
I never wanna die
I never wanna leave
I'll never say goodbye
Forever, whenever
Forever, whenever
Learning to walk again
I believe I've waited long enough
Where do I begin?
Learning to talk again
Can't you see I've waited long enough?
Where do I begin?
Learning to walk again
I believe I've waited long enough
Learning to talk again
Can't you see I've waited long enough?

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
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.
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.
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.
To me this song is about falling in love again. The "million miles away" and the "signal in the distance" are representative of an old painful relationship. The memories are still there, but are pretty far away now. "To whom it may concern", either the former love isn't for the speaker anymore, or this could be the first line to the new person the speaker is feeling something for, like the start of a letter, and saying everything else from here on is for you. "I think I lost my way". This is also to the new love. Talking about how he was alone for so long, or didn't know how to love anymore from whatever in his past is now a million miles away. "Getting good at starting over everytime I return" that's about returning to that feeling that he actually can love someone. Maybe the speaker has felt this way on a few occasions, or has had this happen a few times now since that relationship first ended.
The chorus is pretty self explainatory then if you take the first part to be a valid interpretation. Learning to walk (love) again. He's waited long enough to get over it so why not give it a shot. "Learning to talk again, can't 'you' see I've waited long enough" He's working his way through the new relationship with this person he actually loves, or maybe just actually learning to talk to someone because he isn't alone anymore. Talking to a friend is completely different than talking to a lover, and talking to yourself about that lover.
The second verse I think is either going back to the first relationship. The paper mountains could be the letters written in a relationship, or even memories that are burned away when the relationship ends. (Kind of the metaphor of the Snows of Kilamanjaro or something). Or perhaps it is talking about how both of the people in the relationship have this past where they've had to destroy the memories of their relationships to get on and fall in love again, but I think it is more him asking himself the question "do you remember those days?"
The best part is "I think I've found my place, can't you feel it growing stronger, little conquerors". They did it. They beat the memories of their old love, or whatever that made them so lonely before. Gives me goosebumps, man.
The last part is just the celebration of the love I think. "I never want to die, I'm dancing on my grave" it all just goes back to conquering the emotions that kept you lonely for however long you didn't have someone. There's other stuff in there about the relationship too. The first decline (the first fight, or feeling it might not be right). "A whisper to a riot" the faint tinge of love that turns into full blown head over heels love. "The sacrifice, the knowing to survive" Knowing that the speaker must make sacrifices to keep the new relationship going. There's a bunch of stuff you can pull from it.
I think a lot of people could relate to this.
I also kind of took it as a recovery piece. Perhaps from alcoholism. I know the guys in the band have had some troubles with drugs and what not. Living life while not on something could be like learning to do everything all over again. You're a completely different person sober. I like my first interpretation better, but I can see how there are a lot of things that can be pulled from this little song which in my opinion is the best on the new record, and probably the best Foo song since Best of You which has awesome personal meaning to me.
