This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
It's 3:18, mouth tastes like the corpse of every pregnant teen.
The minutes are hours, the hours are days.
I feel infected by your presence, you speak in tounges.
I smell the lies, dancing on your blackened lungs.
I whispered in her ear:
"Fear me dear, for I am Death.
I'll take your hope, your dreams, your love
till there's nothing left."
I whispered in her ear:
"You better fear me dear, for I am Death.
And I'll take that shit you call a life,
in a single fucking breath."
I'll take your hope.
I'll take your fucking dreams.
I'll take your love.
I'll take everything, you fucking bitch.
I'll steal the diamonds from your eyes.
I'll turn your promises into lies.
I'll steal the diamonds from your eyes.
I'll turn your promises into lies.
It's 3:18, mouth tastes like the corpse of every pregnant teen.
The hours are days, the days are dead.
I feel infected by your presence, you speak in tounges.
I smell the lies, dancing on your blackened lungs.
I hear the fear in your voice, but you shouldn't feel a thing.
Your life's already worse than any pain that I could bring.
That I could bring.
That I could bring.
I could make it December every day.
But you're so blind, it may as well be May.
And I whispered in her ear:
"You better fear me dear, for this is Death."
And I whispered in her ear:
"Fear me, 'cause I am Death."
One more time!
I whispered in her ear:
"Fear me dear, for I am Death.
I'll take everything you ever loved."
I whispered in her ear:
"You better fear me, for I am Death.
For I am Death.
For I am Death."
Bitch!

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.
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.
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
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.
Ziko, i agree with your interpretation. Oli's writing about someone lying to him, but him knowing the truth.' 'i'll steal the diamonds form your eyes, i'll turn your promises into lies' - to me this means she's possibly lived a fortunate and good life, but he's so pissed at her for lying [or something to that extent] that he's gunna turn that all around and make her life a living hell. "I'll take your hope. I'll take your fucking dreams. I'll take your love. I'll take everything, you fucking bitch" but when he says 'your life is worse than any pain i could bring' he means that the life she is living is the worst anyone could live -the life of a liar, a betrayer. but she doesn't realize it. she thinks she has a life filled with 'diamonds'. now i could be way off on that part, but thats what i get from it.
