This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
three words
always understood two ways.
a postcard
from somewhere sunny with the name erased.
that leaves you wanting more.
the words are there, but still it's not the same now.
it's not the same as before.
in the end
it could end
in such an ordinary way.
and the years
and the past
give in to ordinary
ordinary days.
a nice way
of saying nothing without empty space.
'cause goodbyes
never have a proper time or place.
and no better time than now.
so the words are said
but still it's not the same somehow
when your world's coming down.
in the end
it could end
in such an ordinary way.
and the years
and the past
give into ordinary
ordinary days.
and what you've found when it's erased.
sometimes fate leaves an empty space.
in the end
it could end
in such an ordinary way.
and the years
and the past
give into ordinary
ordinary
ordinary
ordinary
ordinary days.

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.
Magical
Ed Sheeran
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.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
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.
well the first two lines are pretty self-explanitory. how people always have different opinions of what "i love you" means. the next part <I>a postcard from somewhere sunny with the name erased</i> means that it's pretty impersonal. and <i>a nice way of saying nothing without empty space</i> could possibly mean she's just sleeping with him to avoid coversations or anything of that nature. so basically it's a song about drifting apart and breaking up. yeah.
