Mommy used to say to me,
Bein' you's the best you can be.
Make my mistakes,
Don't change my ways,
Because I'm satisfied with me.
See, I don't trip when my friends they say to me,
Damn you're mean.
Just because I see them same as they but differently.

Well you're trippin' if you're thinkin',
I ain't gonna speak my mind.
Well pardon me for livin', expressin' my opinion.
That's just the way I see it.
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh, come on.

Two, three, four.
Even if I really could change,
I think people would find me strange.
They think I'm buggin', maybe on somethin',
Just because it wouldn't be me.
So don't get mad cause we don't see the same, cause that's ok.
You be you and I'll,
I'll concentrate on bein' me.

Well you're trippin' if you're thinkin',
That I ain't gonna speak my mind.
Well pardon me for livin', expressin' my opinion.
That's just the way I see it.
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh, yeah yeah

I won't apologize for bein' strong,
Cause that ain't wrong.
I don't know how to be nobody else but me.

Well you're trippin' if you're thinkin',
That I ain't gonna speak my mind.
Well pardon me for livin', expressin' my opinion.
That's just the way I see it.
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh, yeah yeah

Well you're trippin' if you're thinkin',
That I ain't gonna speak my mind.
Well pardon me for livin', expressin' my opinion.
That's just the way I see it.
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh, yeah yeah
That's just the way I see it.
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh, yeah yeah
That's just the way,
That's just the way I see it.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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.

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.

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.
