Trippin' around down town
Throw me a crumb throw me a bone, yeah
Street kid comes along
Let me through, he say's,
I'm higher than you, now
I feel like a star
I feel like a star
Kicking the can around

The air is high, my mouth dry, feeling mellow
Sweet thing come along
I say hello, she say's hello and did you know
I feel like a star
I feel like a star
It's never very far
I feel like a star
(you're never very far)

Fallin' down
Burning out
Shootin' through the sky watch the meteor fly
Gather 'round
Gather 'round
Watch me as I hit the ground

Trippin around down town
Throw me a crumb throw me a bone, yeah
I feel like a star
I feel like a star
It's never very far
I feel like a star
Yeah yeah yeah

Fallin' down
Burning out
Shootin' through the sky watch the meteor fly
Gather 'round
Gather 'round
Watch me as I hit the ground
Watch me as I hit the ground

    i saw the music video for this way back in 98 or 99.. and for some reason the song has always stayed with me.. even though i never heard of Edwin again.

    i think it's pretty obvious that one of the main meanings of this song is about drugs... 'i'm higher than you know', 'falling down burnin up' etc.. and just the title itself. I've never heard one phrase ('I feel like a star') sum up the feeling of being on drugs so well, though i've never gone anywhere near as far as it describes here.. it also reminds me of the description of being manic in bipolar disorder... basically: You feel like a star. The way he says it is so ironic... it captures the irony of the situation.. because then there's always the comedown, you 'hit the ground' and you're not a star at all, you're just some junkie lying on a street downtown. Same with what I've studied and heard about bipolar disorder... you're flying, everything is beautiful, the world is one shining golden place... and then you crash.

    I like how the whole song keeps referencing space.. with 'star', 'meteor', etc. Great song. I wonder what happened to Edwin.. why he never released another album?

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.

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.

Page
Ed Sheeran
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.
