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”
lemon filled bowls in your home
lemon filled bowls in your home
those lemon filled bowls in your home
and mama said
oh mama said
oh my mama she said
that i’m a pyramid
the icarus eye in style
the icarus eye in style
it tattooed your breath a while
but pears in bowls
and sowing seeds
oh pears in bowls
and sowing seeds
mean i’m a pyramid
mmmmmmm
mmmm
mean i’m a pyramid
mmmm mmmm
oh soaking almonds in milky mouths
kiss yours into mine don’t let your teeth fall out
and roll all around licking your lips
open up let the mouths take drift
head in the dirt and i’m home
head in the dirt and i’m home
My head in the dirt and i’m home
and you were the missing elements
for a few glow in the dark moments
you were my missing elements
for a few glow in the dark moments------
mmmm mmmmmm
for a moment
mmmmm mmmmm
you were my missing elements
you were my missing elements
and mama said and mama said
oh yes she said
lemon filled bowls in your home
those lemon filled bowls in your home
and mama said
oh mama said
oh my mama she said
that i’m a pyramid
the icarus eye in style
the icarus eye in style
it tattooed your breath a while
but pears in bowls
and sowing seeds
oh pears in bowls
and sowing seeds
mean i’m a pyramid
mmmmmmm
mmmm
mean i’m a pyramid
mmmm mmmm
oh soaking almonds in milky mouths
kiss yours into mine don’t let your teeth fall out
and roll all around licking your lips
open up let the mouths take drift
head in the dirt and i’m home
head in the dirt and i’m home
My head in the dirt and i’m home
and you were the missing elements
for a few glow in the dark moments
you were my missing elements
for a few glow in the dark moments------
mmmm mmmmmm
for a moment
mmmmm mmmmm
you were my missing elements
you were my missing elements
and mama said and mama said
oh yes she said

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.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
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.
I like her songs a lot better when I don't have to think about the meaning.
I think this is a story about parents building you up to go out into the world, as with the story of Icarus whos father built him wings from wax and feathers to escape, with referances to mothers home and the lyrics "my mama she said that i’m a pyramid"
Other lyrics show a short relationship or sexual encounter "you were the missing elements for a few glow in the dark moments" being exciting but then crashing back down to earth(as icarus fell when wings melted) " head in the dirt and i'm home"
I love Mariee Sioux lyrics!!
