(Matt Embree's side project, Love You Moon)
Now take your filthy claws out of me.
I don’t want them here no more.
A Baseball bat for your TV screen,
and a hydrogen bomb in your strip mall.
They start you off so young, instilling what you need.
Flashing imagery persist to, cut the flow off you bloodstream.
Until our imaginations have become pixilated.
And now megabytes do the work of brain cells and hard drives fill the task of hearts.
But humans can’t be trusted anyway.
Cause we can’t live forever and immortality is an art just like the fear of rejection.
Come on swallow this handful down,
you know your conscience is impregnable.
Assimilation has become imminent.
So pull the hammer back now, now, now.
And drink it down until you see the bottom.
Can’t you smell it, can’t you smell it?
It’s all around!
Whose got a driver for these screws?
Everybody’s got an answer for our solution.
It requires the liberation of emotion.
A little passion a little rage,
a book and a bottle and some gasoline.
A little passion a little rage,
a book and a bottle and some gasoline.
And a smile, and a smile from the mouths of who are worth it.
Now take your filthy claws out of me.
I don’t want them here no more.
A Baseball bat for your TV screen,
and a hydrogen bomb in your strip mall.
They start you off so young, instilling what you need.
Flashing imagery persist to, cut the flow off you bloodstream.
Until our imaginations have become pixilated.
And now megabytes do the work of brain cells and hard drives fill the task of hearts.
But humans can’t be trusted anyway.
Cause we can’t live forever and immortality is an art just like the fear of rejection.
Come on swallow this handful down,
you know your conscience is impregnable.
Assimilation has become imminent.
So pull the hammer back now, now, now.
And drink it down until you see the bottom.
Can’t you smell it, can’t you smell it?
It’s all around!
Whose got a driver for these screws?
Everybody’s got an answer for our solution.
It requires the liberation of emotion.
A little passion a little rage,
a book and a bottle and some gasoline.
A little passion a little rage,
a book and a bottle and some gasoline.
And a smile, and a smile from the mouths of who are worth it.

No Surprises
Radiohead
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.
