One life, one shot, one move, one god
This is the truth yeah
Word up for the lazy boy
Word up for the lazy boy
This is the truth

You don’t win silver you lose gold
Stop earning the right to be
You won the day you were born
If you don’t know what direction you should take
You don’t know where you are

Success is a matter of luck, ask any failure
Never let a fool kiss you, or let a kiss fool you
We are born naked, wet and hungry
Then things get worse

Your success is measured by your ability to finish things
Skepticism is the beginning of failure
Forgive your enemies, but never forget their names
There is no such thing as right or wrong
Only consequences

One life, one shot, one move, one god
This is the truth yeah
Word up for the lazy boy
Word up for the lazy boy
This is the truth

All men are born equal
But quite a few get over it
We are the people our parents warned us about
Sometimes I think the sure sign that life exists elsewhere in the universe
Is that that none of them tried to contact us

Be nice to nerds
Chances are you’ll end up working for one
Do not get mad with others
Because they know more than you
It is not their fault
If you do not change your beliefs
Your life will always be like this

Fantasy is as important as wisdom
Do not try to satisfy everyone
The biggest lie you can tell yourself is
When I get what I want I will be happy

One life, one shot, one move, one god
This is the truth yeah
Word up for the lazy boy
Word up for the lazy boy
This is the truth

Don’t take life to seriously, you won’t get out alive
It maybe your sole purpose in life
Is to serve as a warning to others
Life is shorter than expected
What you’re willing to accept is exactly what you’re going to get
You have control without being controlled

Creativity is great but plagiarism is faster
You are the very reason why everything happens to you
Someone said to Voltaire life is hard
Voltaire replied compared to what?

One life, one shot, one move, one god
This is the truth yeah
Word up for the lazy boy
Word up for the lazy boy
This is the truth

One life
One god
Word up for the lazy boy
This is the truth

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

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.
