This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
What became of everyone I used to know?
Where did our respectable convictions go?
Your words don't match the story that your actions show
What do I know?
I'm sure you can't help but remembering
I thought that you'd be the one not to forget
Remembering's not helping you yet
Say goodnight means goodbye
I know you think my life would stop when you're away
Maybe I can see you on the holidays
You're worlds away
I've never forgotten all our yesterdays
But I'm lucky if we're speaking on the holidays
The evidence presents itself accusingly
Your absence speaking everything you think of me
Now that I am faced with opportunity
You're not remembering
I'm not asking you anyway
And even if you ever could cave in
I wouldn't know where to begin
Say goodnight means goodbye
I know you think my life would stop when you're away
Maybe I can see you on the holidays
You're worlds away
I've never forgotten all our yesterdays
I'm lucky if we're speaking on the holidays, holidays
Say goodnight means goodbye
I know you think my life would stop when you're away
I'm lucky if we're speaking on the holidays, holidays
Where did our respectable convictions go?
Your words don't match the story that your actions show
What do I know?
I'm sure you can't help but remembering
I thought that you'd be the one not to forget
Remembering's not helping you yet
Say goodnight means goodbye
I know you think my life would stop when you're away
Maybe I can see you on the holidays
You're worlds away
I've never forgotten all our yesterdays
But I'm lucky if we're speaking on the holidays
The evidence presents itself accusingly
Your absence speaking everything you think of me
Now that I am faced with opportunity
You're not remembering
I'm not asking you anyway
And even if you ever could cave in
I wouldn't know where to begin
Say goodnight means goodbye
I know you think my life would stop when you're away
Maybe I can see you on the holidays
You're worlds away
I've never forgotten all our yesterdays
I'm lucky if we're speaking on the holidays, holidays
Say goodnight means goodbye
I know you think my life would stop when you're away
I'm lucky if we're speaking on the holidays, holidays

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.

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.
i think this song is about a girl or a family member or friend who lied to him and maybe he won't be wanting to see him or her any day, only in christmas or something... it can also be about someone he loves that lives far away from him...
