Come closer inside
There's something I need you to see
It's just a picture of what the ignorant believe
I come so you can know me
I'm here to make you proud
I come to wreck and guide you
I'm here to show you how

You know I'm coming for you
Cause I got nothing to lose
And now I'm still on my way for the pay

[Chorus:]
So you wanted to be free from everything you've done to me?
And you wanted to be known so you wouldn't feel so alone?
And you wanted to believe that you steal our integrity?
And I'm sorry you're on your knees, but you can't blame me, yer majesty

Let's take a moment
I need to spoil who you are
I played your game once
You sold me out with no regard
I come so you can know me
I'm here to make you proud
I come to wreck and guide you
I'm here to voice out loud

You know I'm coming for you
Cause I got nothing to lose
And now I'm still on my way for the pay

[Chorus: x2]

    That's what he said at Edge's Twisted Christmas last night. And he did that too; he screamed "I DON'T LIKE YOU" and we all screamed back "FUCK YOU." It was too badass!

    It's about a king who depends on the people he rules. He doesn't realize how much he depends on them, and it's time they showed him that without the ruled, the ruler is nothing. If you depend on someone, do your best not to piss them off, or they'll abandon you at best, come after you at worst.

    I think this is about a relationship (big surprise, eh?). Basically, she probably cheated on him or lied to him in someway, and it fucked her over. How, I don't know, but she got tangled up, and now she's crawling back to him asking for help. She's on her knees, begging him no less, but he won't hear it.

    "So you wanted to be free from everything you've done to me? And you wanted to be known so you wouldn't feel so alone? And you wanted to believe that you steal our integrity? And I'm sorry you're on your knees, but you can't blame me, yer majesty..."

    She wants him to forget about she did to him and pretend like it never happened, but he won't take it. And the last line, he calls her, "Yer Majesty," sort of in a mocking way, I think. Like she was so high and mighty when all that shit happened, but now she's nothing.

    "Let's take a moment I need to spoil who you are..."

    When she comes back to him, he takes a moment to remind her of what she did, or "spoil who you are."

    GREAT song. Shinedown kicks ASS.

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.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
