This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
What do you say to the child
Whose god is in TV?
And what do you say to the man
Who blames the world on TV?
They don't even know how to sing my song
But they won't even try it
With me, with me, with me, yeah
Who is standing over playing like the teacher
Harnessing the learned, try but can't leave her
I want to beg the liars to lay down their sirens
That play like the angels to my deep desire
Free my son, let him walk right through the rain
Free my son, make him Waterboy
Free my son, there he stands down on the shore
Free my son
What do you say to the man who treats her like a mother?
And what do you say to the man who treats him like a father?
Come and see my heart, come inside and learn
Come and see my soul, it's like yours
I say it's just like yours
Who is making over, idolizing Princes
Banishing the dreamers with barbed-wire fences
And telling all the children who run to her feet
That they have no vision and love's all diseased
Free my son, let him walk right through the rain
Free my son, make him Waterboy
Free my son, there he stands down on the shore
Free my son, yeah
Free my son, let him walk right through the rain
Free my son, make him Waterboy
Free my son, there he stands down on the shore
Free my son, free him with love
Free my son, let him walk right through the rain
Free my son, make him Waterboy
Free my son, there he stands down on the shore
Free my son
Free my son, let him walk right through the rain
Free my son, make him Waterboy
Free my son, there he stands down on the shore
Free my son, make him Waterboy
Whose god is in TV?
And what do you say to the man
Who blames the world on TV?
They don't even know how to sing my song
But they won't even try it
With me, with me, with me, yeah
Who is standing over playing like the teacher
Harnessing the learned, try but can't leave her
I want to beg the liars to lay down their sirens
That play like the angels to my deep desire
Free my son, let him walk right through the rain
Free my son, make him Waterboy
Free my son, there he stands down on the shore
Free my son
What do you say to the man who treats her like a mother?
And what do you say to the man who treats him like a father?
Come and see my heart, come inside and learn
Come and see my soul, it's like yours

Banishing the dreamers with barbed-wire fences
And telling all the children who run to her feet
That they have no vision and love's all diseased

Free my son, there he stands down on the shore
Free my son, free him with love
Free my son, let him walk right through the rain
Free my son, make him Waterboy
Free my son, there he stands down on the shore
Free my son
Free my son, let him walk right through the rain
Free my son, make him Waterboy
Free my son, there he stands down on the shore
Free my son, make him Waterboy

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.
Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
I think this song is about equality, freeing those who are imprisoned by societys chains of judgement & exclusion. No matter what someones race, creed or financial situation is they should all be treated the same (given the same opportunities) & of course this is not the way the world works at all generally. Often those who are different are skewered & judged or just plain forgotten about. The history of the term waterboy is that back in the day was a boy employed in traditional farming or industry to provide water for farm workers or machinery, railroads also employed water boys. In India the water boy (pani-wallah or bhisti) was an occupation.
