So many little things followed me
So many little things that bothered me
But I found my answer
From all the chaos that followed me I have found my answer
I've told you before, don't follow me because I am not your answer

Don't follow me

But I found my answer

I am not alone, I am not afraid, I am not unhappy
These are the words I say to myself everyday
I am not alone, I am not afraid, I am not unhappy
Tell me what ritual I should have today
But I'm not alone
I've resolved so many things and set myself free

I am not alone, I am not afraid, I am not unhappy
The words I say to myself every day
I am not alone, I am not afraid, I am not unhappy
Such a stupid ritual to have to say to myself everyday
I'm not alone but I found my answer and set myself free
I'm not unhappy

I'm not alone and I'm not unhappy
Not alone and I'm not unhappy
I'm not afraid and I'm not unhappy

I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid
I am not alone, I am not afraid, I am not unhappy
These are the words I say to myself everyday
I am not alone, I am not afraid, I am not unhappy I'm not afraid

I am not alone, I am not afraid, I'm not unhappy
The words I say to myself everyday
I am not alone, I am not afraid, I am not unhappy
Such a stupid ritual to have to say to myself everyday
I'm not alone but I found my answer and set myself free, I'm not unhappy

    He's saying that he has always repeated this sort of mantra to himself, to keep himself alive and resisting. He is obviously looking for something, and needs strenght to keep looking, and finally finding it (his answer). Then, he says that he knows he's not alone, but he has found his answer now and so, he is free (and being free he doesn't really need anyone or anything else now, does he? A free man, with nothing to lose, and nothing to fear.) When he keeps repeating it, and screams it (the "I'm not afraid!" scream part), you realize that that is when he really starts believing. Everybody in his own kinda way is looking for an answer. He is one of the lucky ones who have found it. But one needs to find his own answer. I think that's what he means when he says "I have found my answer", "don't follow ME, because I am not YOUR answer". I have found my answer, but I can't find yours. That's sth we must do on our own, walking our own path. (nothing to do with that "I hate my fans, get the fuck away from me" thing some people mentioned here).

    And something else. This girl before me said, refering to the "eleven point two" line mentioned repeatedly in the song: "your answer for 11.2 is here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Escape_velocity ", which is very interesting, because it says 11.2 km/s is the escape velocity needed to leave the shitty planet we live in. This makes me think that he's found his answer and it is like escaping the earth, and reaching his absolute freedom (and happiness). Perhaps he's trying to say that he is free from this horrible world? ^^' (L) I love that idea. This song f*ing rules.

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

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.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
Album art
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.
