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”
Blei baby blei baby
Geh nicht wieder weg
Blei baby blei baby
Geh nicht wieder weg
Una máquina
De pensar en ti
Eso es lo que soy
Lo que siempre fui
Sabes que me está matando esta espera cruel
La resignación es un deseo sin piel
Y cada día llora algo muy dentro de mí
No hay forma lógica de hacer mi vida sin ti
Y aunque me hagas la invencible
Lo fatal lo imprescindible
Es que vuelvas a mí, vuelvas a mí, vuelve
El dolor es sofocante
Y ahora todo lo importante
Es que vuelvas a mí, vuelvas a mí, vuelve
No me tortures así
Una máquina de vivir sin paz
Eso es lo que soy
Desde que no estás
Dices que no tiene caso reaccionar así
Que has hecho tu elección
Que viva y deje vivir
Pero no quiero romper el lazo que me ata a ti
Ten consideración y no me dejes sufrir
Y aunque me haga la invencible
Lo fatal lo imprescindible
Es que vuelvas a mí, vuelvas a mí, vuelve
El dolor es sofocante
Y ahora todo lo importante
Es que vuelvas a mí, vuelvas a mí, vuelve
No me tortures así
Blei baby blei baby
Geh nicht wieder weg
Blei baby blei baby
Geh nicht wieder weg
Y aunque me haga la invencible
Lo fatal lo imprescindible
Es que vuelvas a mí, vuelvas a mí, vuelve
El dolor es sofocante
Y ahora todo lo importante
Es que vuelvas a mí, vuelvas a mí, vuelve
No me tortures así
Geh nicht wieder weg
Blei baby blei baby
Geh nicht wieder weg
Una máquina
De pensar en ti
Eso es lo que soy
Lo que siempre fui
Sabes que me está matando esta espera cruel
La resignación es un deseo sin piel
Y cada día llora algo muy dentro de mí
No hay forma lógica de hacer mi vida sin ti
Y aunque me hagas la invencible
Lo fatal lo imprescindible
Es que vuelvas a mí, vuelvas a mí, vuelve
El dolor es sofocante
Y ahora todo lo importante
Es que vuelvas a mí, vuelvas a mí, vuelve
No me tortures así
Una máquina de vivir sin paz
Eso es lo que soy
Desde que no estás
Dices que no tiene caso reaccionar así
Que has hecho tu elección
Que viva y deje vivir
Pero no quiero romper el lazo que me ata a ti
Ten consideración y no me dejes sufrir
Y aunque me haga la invencible
Lo fatal lo imprescindible
Es que vuelvas a mí, vuelvas a mí, vuelve
El dolor es sofocante
Y ahora todo lo importante
Es que vuelvas a mí, vuelvas a mí, vuelve
No me tortures así
Blei baby blei baby
Geh nicht wieder weg
Blei baby blei baby
Geh nicht wieder weg
Y aunque me haga la invencible
Lo fatal lo imprescindible
Es que vuelvas a mí, vuelvas a mí, vuelve
El dolor es sofocante
Y ahora todo lo importante
Es que vuelvas a mí, vuelvas a mí, vuelve
No me tortures así

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
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.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
ugh it drives me crazy when ppl don't put the accents on things... haha n e way...
I love this song! probably even more b/c of my German heritage, & the German lyrics... but it's great...
it's so powerful in the chorus, it's a heartbreaking song...
even though it seems like I'm invencible...
she can't stand him leaving & she's trying to be strong, but she's falling apart inside...
Well, how do you put accents on them?
Putting accents on letters if you have an American computer is not easy to do... it's time consuming because you have to get the numbers and then do ALT and a three digit number just to type in one letter... we get the point of the song... so who cares about the accent marks? (this coming from someone who is very anal about grammar... but it's shakira... i'm more focused on imagining her singing to me than how the words are written)
