ek weet byna presies wat’s fout met ons
ek lees my nuwe uitgawe van de kat en ek weet
ek kyk tv en ek weet
ek luister radio en ek weet
ons is deur die kak

storie van sonde by monde van die kombuiskasradio wat ewe grys en sedig en novilon-geel jou lewe se hande beperk tot ketels en wasgoed en stofsuiers
groot-uier koei jou moeisame mens jou grensende stuk lap jou sagging borste jou parow vriendinne jou gek gek obsessie met steve hofmeyr en huisgenoot-heroes en bondgenootlose naweke vol popcorn en pap en braaivleis en buurmanne vol grappe
trippe trappe trone die volk is in die kak
die belofte van môre word gister se misgissing visvang by die vaaldam vakansie by b&b’s en kos by bp express en excessive nagte vol geslagte wat lank in die donker vir jou sit en lag lag lag
bedags daai selfde stuk grond verpand vir selfone en die c-reeks en reukwater en www.yahooooo.com
so slinks is hy met sy cufflinks en gholfstokke en winternagjagtogte na bokke met rokke met nog woord nog styl net kwyl geen kwellings die swellings dig toegetrek agter blomrokke en donkerbril skokke en bybelversies en kersfees met die kinders
verhinder jou siklus vol siektes met rooklonge en ou tande en ‘n ingeboude bar vol
sfw kwv en sab
jou onbenydenswaardige rassehaat agter paraatheid en vrate vir vreugde sonder deugde in ‘n land van besittings en versetlose ontsetting hth pools van hoofpynpille en skrille lug wat draai en kantel soos ‘n mantel horison wat die son gryp en die donker giet deur hierdie son hierdie son
van uv factors en fabriekrook
klokke sonder bokke vir die skape sonder skade berokken jouself oortrokke deurtrek met tradisie en maniere en straatname en vervolgverhale en maagkwale en god weet wat wie het meer te sê as die besitter die ontbieder die verspieders is dood en die ontkennings te koop by boekwinkels apteke regerings stuttafords en steers
trippe trappe trone die volk is in die kak

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.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
