The Farm

Aerosmith

(It's not a place you can get to
By a boat or a train...it's far,
Far away...Charlie...I have a
Feeling we're not in Kansas anymore)
Oaahh!
There's a cockroach in my coffee
There's a needle in my arm
And I feel like New York City
Get me to the farm
Get me to the farm
Get me to the farm
Get me to the farm
Somebody get me to the farm
I got terminal uniqueness
I'm an egocentric man
I get caught up in my freakness
But I ain't no Peter Pan
Get me to the farm
Get me to the farm
Get me to the farm
Get me to the farm
Get me...
Buckle up straightjack
Insanity is such a drag
Jellybean Thorazine
Transcendental jet lag
Sanity I ain't gonna
Feeling like a pifiata
Sucker punch, blow lunch
Mother load, pigeonhole
I'm feeling like I'm gonna explode
Yeah, I wanna shave my head and
I wanna be a Hare Krishna
Tattoo a dot right on my head
Heh, heh
And the Prozac is my fixer
I am the living dead
(Follow the yellow brick road...
Follow the yellow brick road...)
Take me to the farm
Take me to the farm
Somebody get me to the farm
Somebody take me to the farm
Take me to the farm
Take me to the farm
Somebody take me to the farm
Somebody take me to the farm
Take me to the farm
Take me to the farm
Take me to the farm
Buckle up straightjack
Insanity is such a drag
Jellybean Thorazine
Transcendental jet lag
Sanity I ain't gonna
Feeling like a pifiata
Sucker punch, blow lunch
Motherload, pigeonhole
I'm feeling like I'm gonna explode
Yeah, I wanna shave my head and
I wanna be a Hare Krishna
Tattoo a dot right on my head
Heh, heh
And the Prozac is my fixer
I am the living dead
Take me to the farm
Take me to the farm
Somebody get me to the farm
(Wake up, honey...Then I'm sure to
Get a brain uh, huh...)

    It's no accident that the next song on the album is "Crash." This song, to me, is just about being all screwed up in more ways than one: there's no real sense of logic here, because the speaker is insane. "Get me to the farm" could mean he wants more drugs, he wants to get sober, he wants to go to the mental institution, or he wants to die. Probably it means more than one, maybe all of it. The song captures a giddy sense of bat-shit craziness, the peak of the high.

    I see "Crash" as a companion piece to this one, equally about insanity, but much more destructive.

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.

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.

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.

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.
