In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

They the exact opposite from you ignorant, counterfeit
Normal motherfuckers so proud of the innocence
For ever in this bitch, fuckin' with the dead
With invisible X's in the middle of our foreheads
(What would you call us?) Actin' like you don't know
In the midst of the Twiztid Serial Killin' Juggalos
We stay different, I guess different minds think alike
We the children of the night
You don't want to fight (that's right)
'cause if it gets this way
There's goin' be more than feelin's hurt up in here tonight
That's what it's like when your fuckin' with us
And then you get fucked up and shit is, Oh, so serious
Don't even speak on us
Now I know, that everyone got their own personal reason for hatin' us
But I don't care bitch, shut the fuck up
Try strange, deranged, divine, and different
[Hook]x2
I'M DIFFERENT
I'm not like you
I'M DIFFERENT
I like fuckin' with voodoo
I'M DIFFERENT
I come from the darkside
I'M DIFFERENT
I've seen the dead come alive
[Monoxide Child]
Dispised by the rest of the world, 'cause of my axe
The freaked out raps, and the bugged ass contacts
Not normal, nothin' in comparison
Stop frontin' bitch, you's embarrisin' (HOE)
separated from the rest at birth
And the blood in my viens is cursed
I'm leavin' the Earth, represented by killas and juggalos
And all that don't know should die like some dumb hoes
My contingent mind state spreads quicker than the cold in most states
And I hope you both hate (HATER)
Can't stop what you can't see
I'm slippin' in through your backdoor, tyin' up your family
Unexpected, and unexplained
I'm underground, and I'M INSAAAAANE
People want to talk the talk, but I'mma walk the walk
And even chalk the chalk, bitch
[Hook]
[Monoxide Child]
I'm different like I never exsisted
Different like that 50 pack, smokin' bud toker from Twiztid
I'M DIFFERENT, like I'm segregated
No, hold up, fuck that, a better word is "Player Hated"
DIFFERENT, 'cause it's so for real
And if you fuck with weak shit, the axe I'll wield
I said DIFFERENT, you can see it in my soul
I'm different 'cause I'm Twiztid for life wit' juggalos
[Jamie Madrox]
We walk through walls, sleep with bats
Been to Heaven and Hell and still can't relax
I'M DIFFERENT, at least my mama called my strange
Said that I would be dangerous if I was given a brain
I'm a serial killa, that's what I amounted to be
And there's more than a thin line between you and me
I live behind the mirror and I'm every bad dream
So believe what you heard and see, because I'm different
[Hook] (till end)

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman

"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him.
There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.
Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri

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.

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.
Kick-ass song.
