Don't you say a word to me
I don't wanna hear it
You say you miss me
I don't wanna feel it, I don't wanna feel it
If you really wanted to be
Oh, if you really wanted to be here
You would make a woman out of me
Oh, I'll be the one you believe in

You don't want my love I swear you don't want it
You don't want my trust I swear you don't want it
Gave you my all for what? I swear you don't want it
You don't want it bad enough, I'ma take it back

I don't want your pieces
Oh no no no no
I don't want your pieces
Oh no no no no

If you can't give me up your love
I don't want your love
It's like you threw a curve at me
Can't you see I'm hurting
It's gonna be hard for me
I know this where your heart been
I'm where your heart went tryna let go of you
But I don't really know if I can do it
Close the door on you
You don't really wanna see me do it, no

I tried a thousand times
Told my heart a thousand lies
You won't let me say goodbye
You don't wanna see me do it, no

I don't want your pieces
Oh no no no no
I don't want your pieces
Oh no no no no

If you can't give me up your love
I don't want your love no no

If you can't give me up your love
I don't want your love no, no, no

No baby, it's so clear
You leave me here
Wondering, dreaming, still believing
What you say, boy, I'm not for it baby
I don't know who you think you're playing
Boy you know I'm the only one you're needing
Truth of the matter is you don't think I really have the strength to leave
But I don't want no

Pieces
Oh no no no no
I don't want your pieces
I'm tired of giving all of my love
I don't want your pieces
Oh no no no no
I don't want your pieces
Oh no

I deserve more than just a little part
I don't want nothing, if I can't have it all
I ain't even gonna play with something I can't keep
I want the whole thing, or forget about me

Bron-Y-Aur Stomp
Led Zeppelin
This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

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.
Album art
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
