Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
Born from dust
In the gutters of this earth
Maggots and leppers
Is this hell or is this heaven?
The cursed, the damned
Spreading hate across the land
No more pretending
Destroy your seeds of envy
Unleash the wicked
This hate is self-inflikted
Deliver this torment
Upon your final judgment
Follow the storm
In the land of no return
It's you, the scum
We'll kill until it's done
[Chorus: x4]
Inflikted
Show no mercy
Muthafuckin' wicked
Falling and burning
Execution now is coming
Corruption is the sign
And destruction of your lies
[Chorus: x4]
[x2]
Nobody moves, nobody gets hurt
Nobody moves, nobody gets hurt
Inflikted, inflikted
In the gutters of this earth
Maggots and leppers
Is this hell or is this heaven?
The cursed, the damned
Spreading hate across the land
No more pretending
Destroy your seeds of envy
Unleash the wicked
This hate is self-inflikted
Deliver this torment
Upon your final judgment
Follow the storm
In the land of no return
It's you, the scum
We'll kill until it's done
[Chorus: x4]
Inflikted
Show no mercy
Muthafuckin' wicked
Falling and burning
Execution now is coming
Corruption is the sign
And destruction of your lies
[Chorus: x4]
[x2]
Nobody moves, nobody gets hurt
Nobody moves, nobody gets hurt
Inflikted, inflikted

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.

What an awesome song, the opened with it at Donnington(download fest) last weekend, such a powerful track! Cavalera Conspiracy are the type of metal band ive been looking for for a while now, the mix of brutal vocals and riffage with some awesome licks and medlodic intervals, make them a top noth band in my opinion. was never really into sep, as i thought there was always summin missing, and now they have found it! CC FTW
anyway the song.... It could be inturpreted in many different ways, religious or biblical, self hatred, A revolution from the weak, an uprising of some form, i dont know, but i like the idea of the last two! if any one has the intentional falacy, id like to hear it!
i heard that at live shows they play a lot of old skool sepultura...awesome
