In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
(Chika-chika-uh) hit 'em
Plain Pat, what up?
Uh-uh, uh-uh, uh-uh-uh-uh
Uh-uh, uh-uh, uh-uh-uh-uh
I ain't playing no more
Uh-uh, uh-uh, uh-uh-uh-uh
Ha-ha, ha-ha, hey
This is my story, this is my song
If you feel it, motherfucka, you can't go wrong
To the screw-face niggas, what you on?
Get off that, get a goal and focus, dawg
See, I'm what you need, you fiendin' now
Ask around and I'll bet you figure out
How to zone and control your future while
Yeah, I think I'm in the future too
I'm unlike fools, who precede the jewels
To be like them, I be like who?
I be like me, Mr. K-i-d S-O-L-O D-O-L-O
See the Lord adore me, He met me half way
No guts, no glory' I always say
So until I reach what I came here to find
Along with inner peace, life will always be a grind
One day I'll be what the world want me to be
I was born to be Super Duper Scott
The one bad bitches called super duper lame
Now super duper fame gives me super duper brains
86 the cape, but I'm super duper high
Soarin' passed the moon, a super duper lonely guy
Down and out, so I'm out and down
Then lookin' for a substance to drown in, hey
Down and out, so I'm out and down
Then lookin' for a substance to drown in
For even in Hell, I still have faith
To one day be free with my father at the gates
But make no mistakes, I'll show you what time takes
To be a success on Earth, mixed with all the hate
I stand on my pivot, my life you could not live it
For the things that I've seen have been too damn explicit
But soon you will get it on a CD with some credits
I provide my grind, mixed with no edits
They say they don't want me when I'm fucked up and forgotten
Until I rise up amongst the evils tryna stop 'em
Slow down, bitch, my money is what I'm clockin'
I'm tick-tockin', once I start, I ain't stopping
Such bullshit that my soul deal with
When my room's dim lit, I pray to God help with, uh
My endeavors and any kind of weather
Hoes be pleather fake so I erase 'em out my sim
Now do you want to be him? Think twice
You'd commit suicide tryna read my mind
Do you want to be him? Think twice
You'd commit suicide tryna read my mind
Down and out, hey
Down and out, out
Down and out, so I'm out and down
Then lookin' for a substance to drown in, hey
Down and out, so I'm out and down
Then lookin' for a substance to drown in
Down and out, so I'm out and down
Then lookin' for a substance to drown in, hey
Down and out, so I'm out and down
Then lookin' for a substance to drown in
Down and out, so I'm out and down (la-la-la-la-la-la-la)
Then lookin' for a substance to drown in, hey (la-la-la-la-la)
Down and out, so I'm out and down (la-la-la-la-la-la-la)
Then lookin' for a substance to drown in (la-la-la-la-la)
Down and out, so I'm out and down (la-la-la-la-la-la-la)
Then lookin' for a substance to drown in, hey (la-la-la-la-la)
Down and out, so I'm out and down (la-la-la-la-la-la-la)
Then lookin' for a substance to drown in (la-la-la-la-la, whoa, whoa)
Down and out
Down and out (la-la-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la)
Down and out (la-la-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la)
Down and out
yeah, yeah
Okay, okay

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
Hayalperest
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.
Holiday
Bee Gees
Bee Gees
@[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.
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.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
Surprised as hell to see that I'm the first to comment on this. Won't try to go into some deep, philosophical rambling about what this song means, pretty sure it's self-explanatory.
Good song
