Eel that you have ever, I could not
Actually hide and I said that it was true, look up
Where I, run

Would I, will I
Let it slide,
Let it slip by,
No I won't let it slide,
No I won't let it slip by
Under

What you doing
What to do
What to do
Not to do what you want to do?
I can't miss you

Say what it is I want to say,
Say what it is I want to say to you
Can I make that mistake.

    When Noah sings "Say can I make a bad mistake" that's my favourite part of the whole song. I can't even describe how I feel when I listen to it.

    Missing a lot of lyrics. No idea how these get approved. I mean you completely missed the first part of the song.

    this song seems more like it's about doing work to support his family and how hard it is being away from them

    I'm pretty sure that line is:

    Say, can I make a bad mistake? Say what it is I want to set straight Say what?

    This song is just so beautiful it moves me to tears. The riffs near the middle and closing are so powerful and say so much without any lyrics; so much strength lies beneath the surface of this song. I already know that Tomboy is going to be by new favorite album, replacing Merriweather Post Pavilion.

    In the last section of the song I could be wrong but I swear he's saying

    Say, can I make up that mistake; Say what it is I want to say to you; say what;

    I think this song is about being misrepresented/wanting to set the record straight... maybe having something to do with everyone calling him the king of chill wave and him not wanting anything to do with it. Just a feeling... Favorite song on the album.

    This song is so beautiful. I agree with cplus's comment, this song reminds me of the theme in My Girls.

    This song is brilliant. The way the vocals are layered so much that it forms itself into the song as if it were its own instrument entirely, the eerie chord changes, the melodies, the anthemic chant of "got to do what you got to do"... This is such a beautiful, amazing song. It is 3 years later and I still can't stop listening to it.

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

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
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.

Midnight
Ed Sheeran
“Midnight” is a song about finding a love that is so true that it provides a calming feeling through every storm. Ed Sheeran reflects on his good fortunes in landing someone with such peace and support and speaks of not fearing the dark days because he knows they’ll all end in the safety nets of her arms. “Well, good morning there / What a way to start the day / With everything laid bare,” Ed Sheeran sings in the first verse, enthusiastic to be waking up beside his woman. He apologizes for missing her calls in the second verse and promises to return them because for him, speaking to her is the most important thing. “Well, I get lost inside my head / In this chaos, you’re my calm / And I will find my feet again / ‘Cause еven the worst days of my life will always еnd / At midnight in your arms,” sings Ed Sheeran in the chorus, revelling in his good luck.
