This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
It's in the trees
It's coming
When I was a child
Running in the night
Afraid of what might be
Hiding in the dark
Hiding in the street
And of what was following me
Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
Now hounds of love are hunting
Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo
I've always been a coward
Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo
And I don't know what's good for me
Oh, here I go
It's coming for me through the trees
Oh, help me someone
Help me please
Take my shoes off
And throw them in the lake
And I'll be
Two steps on the water
I found a fox
Caught by dogs
He let me take him in my hands
His little heart
It beats so fast
And I'm ashamed of running away
From nothing real
I just can't deal with this
I'm still afraid to be there
Doo-doo-doo-doo
Among your hounds of love
Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo
And feel your arms surround me
Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo
I've always been a coward
Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo
I never know what's good for me
Oh, here I go
Don't let me go
Hold me down
It's coming for me through the trees
Oh, help me darling
Help me please
Take my shoes off
And throw them in the lake
And I'll be
Two steps on the water
Doo-doo-doo-doo
I don't know what's good for me
I don't know what's good for me
I need lo-lo-lo-lo-love, yeah
Your, yeah, your
Your love
Doo-doo
And take your shoes off
And throw them in the lake
Do you know what I really need?
Do you know what I really need?
I need lo-lo-lo-lo-love, yeah
It's coming
When I was a child
Running in the night
Afraid of what might be
Hiding in the dark
Hiding in the street
And of what was following me
Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
Now hounds of love are hunting
Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo
I've always been a coward
Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo
And I don't know what's good for me
Oh, here I go
It's coming for me through the trees
Oh, help me someone
Help me please
Take my shoes off
And throw them in the lake
And I'll be
Two steps on the water
I found a fox
Caught by dogs
He let me take him in my hands
His little heart
It beats so fast
And I'm ashamed of running away
From nothing real
I just can't deal with this
I'm still afraid to be there
Doo-doo-doo-doo
Among your hounds of love
Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo
And feel your arms surround me
Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo
I've always been a coward
Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo
I never know what's good for me
Oh, here I go
Don't let me go
Hold me down
It's coming for me through the trees
Oh, help me darling
Help me please
Take my shoes off
And throw them in the lake
And I'll be
Two steps on the water
Doo-doo-doo-doo
I don't know what's good for me
I don't know what's good for me
I need lo-lo-lo-lo-love, yeah
Your, yeah, your
Your love
Doo-doo
And take your shoes off
And throw them in the lake
Do you know what I really need?
Do you know what I really need?
I need lo-lo-lo-lo-love, yeah

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
No Surprises
Radiohead
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.

American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
It annoys me immensely when people claim that this is The Futurehead's songs. NO, it's not. They aren't talented enough to pen a tune like this. Fantastic song by Kate, mediocre song when done by The Futureheads.
