Why Are Sundays So Depressing?

The Strokes

I sing a song
I paint a picture
My baby's gone
I don't miss her
Like a swan
I don't miss swimmin'
All my friends left
And they don't miss me

Can't take it, babe
Your body talks to me
Like in a movie, babe
I let it resonate, yeah

I want your time (time)
Don't ask me questions (questions)
That you don't want (want)
The answers to (to)

I love you in the morning, so you know it's no lie
You're hidin' in the background, but you wanna be found
You've got me on my back and now I've gotta think fast
You're hidin' in the background, but you wanna be found

Life, take it easy, babe, I
I get down, it's automatic, uh
I've come to believin' that
A-too much time is evil

Transition in
I'm making your body wait
Like on an aeroplane
Please baby, take me away, yeah

I want your time (time)
Don't ask me questions (questions)
That you don't want (want)
The answer to (to)

(I know)
(I know)
(I know)
(I know)

I kinda miss the nine-to-five, yeah
Do those things that you can't hide
I scramble, fight just like a child
Hey, ah, na-na-na-na, ah-ah
I'm stayin' hungry, I'm stayin' hungry
I'm stayin' hungry, I'm stayin' hungry
Not gettin' angry, I'm stayin' hungry
Not gettin' angry, still stayin' hungry
Yeah

(Hold on, hold on)
The click was always in you, Fab
(It was never on)
It was never on

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

Magical
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.

Punchline
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.
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.
