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”
If I told you a secret
You won't tell a soul
Will you hold it and
Keep it alive
Cause it's burning a hole
And I can't get to sleep
And I can't live alone
In this lie
So look up, take it away
Don't look down
The mountain
If the world isn't turning
Your heart won't return
Anyone, anything, anyhow
So take me, don't leave me
Take me, don't leave me
Baby, love will come through
It's just waiting for you
And you stand at the crossroads
Of highroads and low roads
And I've got a feeling
It's right
If it's real what I'm feeling
There's no make believing
The sound of the wings
Of the flight
Of a dove, take it away
Don't look down
The mountain
If the world isn't turning
Your heart won't return
Anyone, anything, anyhow
So take me, don't leave me
Take me, don't leave me
Baby, love will come through
It's just waiting for you
Oh, look up, take it away
Don't look down
If the world isn't turning
Your heart won't return
Anyone, anything, anyhow
So take me, don't leave me
Take me, don't leave me
Baby, love will come through
It's just waiting for you
Love will come through
Love will come through
Love will come through
You won't tell a soul
Will you hold it and
Keep it alive
Cause it's burning a hole
And I can't get to sleep
And I can't live alone
In this lie
So look up, take it away
Don't look down
The mountain
If the world isn't turning
Your heart won't return
Anyone, anything, anyhow
So take me, don't leave me
Take me, don't leave me
Baby, love will come through
It's just waiting for you
And you stand at the crossroads
Of highroads and low roads
And I've got a feeling
It's right
If it's real what I'm feeling
There's no make believing
The sound of the wings
Of the flight
Of a dove, take it away
Don't look down
The mountain
If the world isn't turning
Your heart won't return
Anyone, anything, anyhow
So take me, don't leave me
Take me, don't leave me
Baby, love will come through
It's just waiting for you
Oh, look up, take it away
Don't look down
If the world isn't turning
Your heart won't return
Anyone, anything, anyhow
So take me, don't leave me
Take me, don't leave me
Baby, love will come through
It's just waiting for you
Love will come through
Love will come through
Love will come through

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.
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.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
i think it's about the difference between waiting for someone to love you and taking the initiative to just go and love someone no matter the consequences. i feel like many people find it easier to wait for someone to love them, they try to be as lovable as they can, but they may never know (the dreaded "what if") unless they try to love someone else instead. we shouldn't "look down the mountain," be scared to love whoever it is we love because no matter what you'll eventually be one step closer to finding the person that will love you back.
I have listened to this song for a long time, since I heard it on the Moonlight Mile soundtrack...what a great movie!<br /> <br /> Anyways, I always thought it was about somebody trying to convince the one he loves to take that leap of faith. He knows there's something there, but he's gotta open the door and tell her how he feels. It always seemed like that moment of truth when you lay it all out and you're waiting to hear her answer.
So right! Kudos to you.
I actually really like this song. This is so far their best single from the new album, in my opinion. Love the music to it.
Yeah, I really do like this song. I suppose its concept (that love is supreme and that it is there for everyone) isn't an awfully unique one, but musically, at least, it's certainly a great song.
Gorgeous, gorgeous song.
they've used this song on the preview for Garden State. thats where i first heard it. it has a really beautiful feel to it.
I love this song, am a bit crazed over that they didn't write this song, but it sure doesn't sound like them... But I think they did a wonderful job on it and it's beautiful.
A lovely song! This song is about your love for your friends and family, not for a girl. It symbolize what you trust your friends with, f.ex. secrets and feelings about a girl. We can very easily see this in the lyrics.
"If I told you a secret You won't tell a soul Will you hold it and Keep it alive"
-and f.ex.
"Baby, love will come through It's just waiting for you"
Either telling a friend this or beeing told by.
This song reminds me a situation that you are burning with love feel that he's the only one, and you can't tell him that you love him. You know that if you tell it; evrything will be harder for you for him and for some other people.
If I told you a secret You won't tell a soul Will you hold it and Keep it alive
I felt that this was a secret of "I love you"
But this can also be for the family, why not.
And if it's for a love, I'm sure that this love also includes strong friendship too.
The music and the video is magical. I love this song which I feel that fully expresses how I feel.
Absolutely gorgeous song. I think of my fiancee when I listen to this song.
If I told you a secret You won't tell a soul Will you hold it and Keep it alive
Cause it's burning a hole And I can't get to sleep And I can't live alone In this life
isn't it lie? it wud tie in with the secret
