I know I've been a real bad guy,
My name's made the list more than a few times
You could light up a candle for every mistake that I've made
And I'd follow them home with you
On a pity parade

For years and years I pushed you aside
But never again

Wrap me up like a present and throw me away
And when it gets cold I'll be yours
Let the bells ring on a fool's holiday
I swear that I'm more than just broken promises,
Decorations can change like tinsel and ribbon so
Do not open til you've got forever to spend
With me on a fool's holiday

I've always lived too selfishly,
Nobody's perfect babe
But I never tried to be
So every second I've poisoned and all of the minutes you spent on me
I'd give my whole life's worth of hours to fix what I've broken on first place

For years and years I pushed you aside
But never again so

Wrap me up like a present and throw me away,
And when it gets cold I'll be yours
Let the bells ring on a fool's holiday
I swear that I'm more than just broken promises,
Decorations can change like tinsel and ribbon so
Do not open til you've got forever to spend
With me on a fool's holiday

Tie me in ribbons and put me away,
Know that I'll always be yours
Bells will ring on a fool's holiday

Wrap me up like a present and throw me away,
And when it gets cold I'll be yours
Let the bells ring on a fool's holiday
I swear that I'm more than just broken promises,
Decorations can change like tinsel and ribbon so
Do not open til you've got forever to spend
With me

Do not open til you've got forever to spend
With me on a fool's holiday

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.
