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.
Pour contrôler mon impudicité
J'ai couvert mon coeur d'une pâte filo
Qui me protège de toi et de ta libido
Et pour contrôler ma mouillabilité
J'ai appliqué la nitro sur la pâte filo
Et je m'incline devant toi et ta libido
Pour contrôler ma sensibilité
J'ai couvert mon coeur d'une pâte filo
Qui me protège de toi et de ta libido
Pour contrôler ma sexualité
J'ai appliqué la nitro sur la pâte filo
Et je m'incline devant toi et ta libido
J'ai couvert mon coeur d'une pâte filo
Qui me protège de toi et de ta libido
Et pour contrôler ma mouillabilité
J'ai appliqué la nitro sur la pâte filo
Et je m'incline devant toi et ta libido
Pour contrôler ma sensibilité
J'ai couvert mon coeur d'une pâte filo
Qui me protège de toi et de ta libido
Pour contrôler ma sexualité
J'ai appliqué la nitro sur la pâte filo
Et je m'incline devant toi et ta libido

No Surprises

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.
Just A Little Lovin'

I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

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.
The man singing has a girlfriend with a sexdrive thats out of control, basically. He's trying to protect himself from her with pâte filo, a type of french dough, around his heart so he isnt affected by her. But he admits defeat with the line 'je m'incline devant toi et ta libido' and gives himself over to her libido.
Haha. This is a really great song, the first I heard of Maljube's
stijlintact , I never thought of it that way but I think it's about some guy who's afraid to hurt his girlfriend if he sleeps with her so he tries to control himself but in the end he just goves in.
I laugh at this song. It's so good and funny and weird and awesome ^^
I actually think he's afraid of getting hurt himself. It's "Qui me protège", isn't it. If he was trying to protect the one with the libido he would have said it differently. But what does nitro mean?
The thing that makes it so nice is that pâte filo in French means "phylo pastry", which describes the lovely fragility of his heart's defense and how intentional he makes his vulnerability. It's also an awfully pretty image, isn't it?
I don't think he gives in in the end, deciding everything will be fine. I think he decides to "go out with a bang," because he smears "nitro" on his pastry-wrapped heart first, then leans towards her... Nitro-glycerine? BOOM! Suicide lovebomgs!
well, you can probably make pretty much anything from those lyrics but Julien (the singer) said that the song was actually about anal fissures...
(And no, I'm not making this up... he said it this week-end on national tv.. on the show "Tout le monde en parle"...)
A lot of their songs are about diseases... "Montreal -40" is about common cold, "Le Crabe" is about cancer,
"Jus de Canneberge" is about Unirary Tract Infections...etc
Anyway... good song, from a great band!
The way I see it, the singer is in love with a girl with whom he doesn't want to sleep because he knows that she only wants him for sex and that he will end up getting hurt, but he gives in at the end... It's the opposite of what we usually see happening :P
You guys mist it all its a song about condoms. Think about it :)
