This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
i wish i didn't have this nervous laugh
i wish i didn't say half the stuff i say
i wish i could just learn to cover my tracks
i guess i'm not concerned about getting away
'cause every time i try to hold my tongue
it slips like a fish from a line
they say if you want to play
you should learn how to play dumb
i guess i can't bring myself to waste your time
'cause we both know what i've been doing
i've been intentionally bad at lying
you're the only boy i ever let see through me
and i hope you believe me when i say i'm trying
and i hope i never improve my game
yeah i'd rather have these things weighing on my mind
and at the end of this tunnel of guilt and shame
there must be a light of some kind
there must be a light of some kind
i must have blown a fuse or something
cause it was so dark in my mind
she came up to me with the sweetest face
and she was holding a light of some kind
and i still think of you as my boyfriend
i don't think this is the end of the world
but i think maybe you should follow my example
and go meet yourself a really nice girl
'cause we both know. . .
in the end the world comes down to just a few people
but for you it comes down to one
but no one ever asked me if i thought i could be
everything to someone
there's a crowd of people harbored in every person
there are so many roles that we play
and you've decided to love me for eternity
i'm still deciding who i want to be today
cause we both know. . .
i wish i didn't say half the stuff i say

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.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
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.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
I don't know about as a whole, but to me this song means a lot. I think it's about a relationship where you're on edge about what you say in case you hurt your partner or such, where you're not totally confident with how you feel around your partner. "'cause we both know what i've been doing i've been intentionally bad at lying you're the only boy i ever let see through me and i hope you believe me when i say i'm trying and i hope i never improve my game yeah i'd rather have these things weighing on my mind " is the bit I'm talking about which has stood by me well lately, I think it's about lying to the person you love because you secretly want them to know how you feel, altho you don't know how to say so make it seem like an accident. I dunno how others see it :)
I think this line sums it up: "but i think maybe you should follow my example and go meet yourself a really nice girl "
It is all about Ani dealing with her bisexuality.
'i'm still deciding who i want to be today',sums it up really,fantastic.
what I love about this song is that it's written with such raw emotion- she makes u feel with her all these really exausting feelings and thoughts that she's been having about life and love - "and i hope i never improve my game yeah i'd rather have these things weighing on my mind" in a way it's a completely ridiculous thought but one that u can just totally relate to. plus it's written with so much vulnerability - she basically is critisising and hating herself for the entire 4 minutes of the song...
I love this song 'cause we both know what i've been doing i've been intentionally bad at lying thats just an awesome line! Im pretty sure its about her having an affair with a girl, when shes in a relationship with some guy and they both know, but its easier for them to ignore it. I think thats it but if anyone disagrees tell me.
I think Bridsa has it right. "i must have blown a fuse or something cause it was so dark in my mind she came up to me with the sweetest face and she was holding a light of some kind and i still think of you as my boyfriend i don't think this is the end of the world but i think maybe you should follow my example and go meet yourself a really nice girl" She knew something was off but couldn't put her finger on it, then she meets a girl who she's attracted to and goes, "Oh, so that's the part that was missing." She doesn't seem to accept it yet because it doesn't have to be the end of the world and she still has her boyfriend. She feels guilty for having the affair and doesn't feel worthy of his complete love and devotion for her. She says that she's been intentionally bad at lying and hopes not to learn to be a better liar. She doesn't want to be able to cheat on someone and doesn't want to hone her cheating skills. " yeah i'd rather have these things weighing on my mind and at the end of this tunnel of guilt and shame there must be a light of some kind" She'd rather feel guilty "pretend" it's not happening rather than fully confront confront her feelings. She knows that when she finally does though, that there will be some good that comes from it.
