Cyclops woman got one eye in her head
Mascara clotted vision she is fed
Cyclops woman can't see nothing at all
She got a pin prick spiral hole
She can't see nothing nothing at all
She can't see nothing nothing at all
Cyclops woman dying in her shell
Guilt got her trapped in her nailed well
Cyclops woman is the eye of the world
Who's reflection's in the retina?
She can't see nothing nothing at all
She can't see nothing, nothing at all
Dilate, Dial-ate

    i think Glorge is right with teh whole media comment i think it is about how peopel are blinded by the media and the 'one eye in her head' is just saying u have one judgement and one opinion given to you by teh media.

    I think that the song itself is cool to listen but the text is just crap. There are much better songs on portrait of an american family

    Oh, and there are some whispered words in the beginning, and I think they are "God is in... his holy temple... God is in... his holy temple", but I could be wrong.

    The only skippable song on the album, but it still has a great riff!

    The one eye i think represents the one vision you're allotted by society. You're democrat or republican, gentile or jew, punk or prep, man or woman, pro-life or pro choice. That mascara is her femenimity (sp?) blinding her. Her expectations as a woman that she has to live up to, without a concern for who she is or what she thinks. And the song asks who she sees in the world, but then says she can't see nothing, nothing at all. So she wants to see the world, but is essentially blind to it.

    a thought: the cyclops woman who can't see anything, having only one eye... lack of depth perception, or rather, the inability to see both sides of something. thus, she's unable to see the way things really are.

    I think this could be a general statement on women in our culture. 'mascara-clotted vision she is fed' The mascara could represent the media, which blinds her of what she should be and feeds her what they want her to be.

    This song reminds me of how women are ment "to be seen and not heard" and it doesn't really matter if they can see (I think vision in this song is used as a metaphore) because they have thier place... I don't know. Ah, I don't know. >< There are so many shades of meaning to songs. I wish I knew what artists had in mind when they wrote thier songs.

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.

Punchline
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.
