Use your fist please don't knock
My loose teeth are yours to take
Cuddling our new found freedom in keeping
Our eyes open without being awake
Kiss my ear the faint still taunts
Children rejoice
"Once hero, now dead"
One last time I'm really hurting
Just a little taste to take off the edge
I rummage through old love letters
And photographs in a desperate reach for
A clue into who I am
With only the distant past as reference
I fail to feel any connection
To the bones under my skin
You can cry but you're still getting sterilized
You can show the sun how to come if you know the sky
He'll let you make a mess if you keep him high
It was a good shoot
The messenger deserved to die for his lies
Make it hurt scare me straight
Cursed is he who can't burn by fire
We're all falling show me feeling
I'm your designated diver
I can see the cuts on your mind
Your mother made yours
Mine made mine, I know you'd rather
Be sad than stupid
Genius by day, Junkie by night
By the grace of breeze I never scraped a knee
That didn't help me see bleeding isn't what it seems
Let it steam let it steep 'till it screams
"Finally free!" then you better leave
I bet that she's gonna kill the king

Doctored wound perfect numb
13 billion years in the making
black hole at the center of our galaxy
we're still suffering we're still aching
the sanctuary is closed for repairs
I used God's guide to pet a maniac the nice way
Bad habits make for good memories
I'm good at being at the wrong time in the right place
Crust and clots at the corners of her mouth
Eyes white like yours,
But completely different somehow
I caught her post dose
looking like a ghost
Cheeks rosed from the flush of fluid
So familiar to us now
Legs folded, the predators pray
There's no messiah that wasn't a slave to it's brain
If I could do with nails, what you do with words,
there'd be one more crucifixion, one less open door
Use my fist but I won't knock
Break it open
Itch me sober
Trust me
We'll get out of this alive
Now take my hand it's almost over
I apologize for lying about smiling
I'm a frightened little cat that learned to act like a lion
While leviathans beach in the grip of their patience
I'm driving this cheap pirate
ship to the pavement
By the grace of breeze I never scraped a knee
That didn't help me see nothing's really what it seems
Let it steam let it steep 'till it screams
"Finally free!" then you better leave
I'm aiming right for the head of the king.

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
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.

No Surprises
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.

Amazing
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.
