This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
That's the way that it is
I live under a bell-shaped curve
For being average
I know you have been wanting to mention
I treat myself because I'm dying for attention
And then I hold a sword in my hand
And climb up the mountain
And call the names of people I know
Who'll rock me in the end
Lie rest assured you'll have your own
Reverberating walls
Lie rest assured you'll have your own
Reverberate the halls
That's the way that it goes
I climbed so bloody high I couldn't stop my bleeding nose
I treat myself and it feels good, so I treat more
And when I spin touching you's less of a chore
And then I take a sword in my hand
And climb up the mountain
And call the names of people I know
Who'll rock me in the end
Lie rest assured you'll have your own
Reverberate the walls
Lie rest assured you'll have your own
Reverberate the halls
Let the bells rings (x6)
I live under a bell-shaped curve
For being average
I know you have been wanting to mention
I treat myself because I'm dying for attention
And then I hold a sword in my hand
And climb up the mountain
And call the names of people I know
Who'll rock me in the end
Lie rest assured you'll have your own
Reverberating walls
Lie rest assured you'll have your own
Reverberate the halls
That's the way that it goes
I climbed so bloody high I couldn't stop my bleeding nose
I treat myself and it feels good, so I treat more
And when I spin touching you's less of a chore
And then I take a sword in my hand
And climb up the mountain
And call the names of people I know
Who'll rock me in the end
Lie rest assured you'll have your own
Reverberate the walls
Lie rest assured you'll have your own
Reverberate the halls
Let the bells rings (x6)

@[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.

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

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.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
According to The Organ's website, the line is "I treat myself... so I treat more", not "I dream of death". And then "I take a sword in my hand", although it does sound more like 'hold'. It should also be "When I spin touching you's less of a chore".
This song's really beautiful.
It damn right better be "I take a sword in my hand and climb up a mountain" because that's the line that inspired me to ditch all of my university classes one day and climb up a nearby mountain.
Thanks for the correction, UBER GEEK!
