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.
I had a dream that the whole world was staring at me
I woke up and wasn't no one there,
Wasn't no one there, yeah eh eh
Same song to a different beat
'Cause sometimes I feels like I'm the only one there
I guess nobody cares, hey
But everything's good until it goes bad
And your gonna tell all the people about the fun you used to have
It hurts when it don't last
No easy way saying bye
So I'm a spread my wings and head for the sky
And I fly solo
And I fly solo
And I fly solo
And I fly solo
And I
I'm tired of being tired
And dealing with your B.S.,
All the while supplying
The money for your request
Without me you're a dime
But with me you're a buck fifty, ha ha
I can get another one quickly
But I'd rather weight it out
Take the broken pieces try and fix it
Or you could let your pride over weigh the right decision
And I'll be in the sky you can pay your boy a visit
Ha
I had a dream that the whole world was staring at me
I woke up and wasn't no one there,
Wasn't no one there, yeah eh eh
Same song to a different beat
'Cause sometimes I feels like I'm the only one there

But everything's good until it goes bad
And your gonna tell all the people about the fun you used to have
It hurts when it don't last
No easy way saying bye
So I'm a spread my wings and head for the sky
And I fly solo
And I fly solo
And I fly solo
And I fly solo
And I
And I fly solo
And I fly solo
And I fly solo
And I fly solo
And I
Remember what you said
But what you say to me ain't guaranteed to always be the Gospel
I was doing good way before I met you
Now you're off the set
And I'm a let you see the show go on without you
Take a bow, think about it
And hopefully we could be friends but I really doubt it
See you be catching feeling's now and I be catching planes
The story of my life, you're just another page
But everything's good 'til it goes bad
And your gonna tell all the people about the fun you used to have
It hurts when it don't last
Easy way saying bye
So I'm a spread my wings and head for the sky
And I fly solo
And I fly solo
And I fly solo
And I fly solo
And I
I had a dream that the whole world was staring at me
I woke up and wasn't no one there
Wasn't no one there
Yeah eh 'eah

Hayalperest
Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,

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
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
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.
Completely feeling this song right now, especially.... "It hurts when it don't last, no easy way saying bye, Imma spread my wings and head for the sky and I, fly solo, and I, fly solo, and I, fly solo, and I, fly solo, and I..."

He's realizing what it's like to be alone again. He recognizes that it hurts to be without the other person, but he also realizes that no one really cares about his pain hence the line: "'Cause sometimes I feels like I'm the only one there I guess nobody cares, hey"
At the same time, it seems as if he's ok with being apart from the other person for the time being. They could wait it out and see what happens, but if things don't pan out, he'll be "in the sky..."
"I had a dream that the whole world was staring at me, I woke up and was't no one there" This is deep. What he is saying is life really does continue in spite of his pain. "Same song to a different beat, cuz really sometimes it feels like I'm the only one there" Although he knows that everyone experiences heartbreak, we often think we are alone in experiencing our pain. But pain and heartbreak are the most universal feelings. This song is highlighting the beauty in passing time and the ever revolving world. Life really does go on. He no longer sees a reason to stay and although he has become familiar with this person, he realizes she's just another page in his book of life. He is hurt and afraid, but determined to find happiness elsewhere. Fly solo!
