This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Damage control,
There so thoroughly modern,
We'll tell you how it goes,
It's not a serious problem,
So
You can get convinced,
That we can get convinced,
But either way the truth is bound to get twisted,
You can't take a break when the pain of the world is weighing on your next decision,
So I focused on what,
I've been promised,
Then they tore us open,
They bled us dry of our dignity and money,
It's all under control,
So keep holding it together,
Well things just fall apart!
But you know,
We can't wait forever,
So
Come on try and keep this,
Keep this you can grit your teeth,
And do your job they'll never know the difference,
Keep it going one day,
Month, a year or more,
Ignore that sinking feeling,
So I focused on what,
I've been promised,
Then they tore us open,
They bled us dry of our dignity and
So I focused on what,
I've been promised,
Then they tore us open,
They bled us dry of our dignity and money,
We've should have seen it coming,
We've should have seen it coming,
We've should have seen it coming,
We left ourselves wide open,
So I focused on what,
I've been promised,
Then they tore us open,
They bled us dry of our dignity and
Maybe we could all retain a bit of ourselves,
Remember who we were and keep on moving,
Put things in perspective,
Try and learn a lesson,
It's not life or death,
It's only business!
And I'm not low!
And I'm not low!
And I'm not low!
And I'm not low!

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.

"So come and try to keep, keep this stupid grin short so you can keep your job. They'll never know the difference. Keep it going one day, a month, a year or more. Ignore that sinking feeling." that sounds like it could go out to adam and the rest of the guys from tbs, but who knows for sure.
