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.
I don't wanna die,
I don't wanna die,
I don't wanna die
So you're gonna have to
I don't wanna die,
I don't wanna die,
No I don't wanna die
So you're gonna have to
Blood is getter hotter
Body's getting colder
I've told you once,
I'm the only one who holds her
I don't wanna die,
I don't wanna die,
I don't wanna die
So you're gonna have to
I look inside of myself,
And try to find someone else
Someone who's willing to die,
Instead of watching you cry for help.
I know that blood will be spilled,
And if you wont, then I will.
My grave will never be filled,
It's either kill or be killed.
So let heaven be told,
That some may come some may go,
Where I'll end up, I don't know.
But I ain't dying alone,
I keep on asking the question,
"Can I be saved by confession?"
You see this blood on my hands at least there's no reaching to Heaven.
I got to pick up the pieces,
I got to bury them deep
And when you look into my eyes
I'll be the last thing you see
I don't wanna die,
I don't wanna die,
I don't wanna die
So you're gonna have to.
I don't wanna die,
I don't wanna die,
No I don't wanna die
So you're gonna have to.
Words turned into blood, and the blood keeps on pouring,
From every pour I wipe it up, cause this just could be the moment
Now someone gotta die and now my only opponent
'Cause I won't watch my baby cry,
So I keep on just going.
Am I a man or a beast,
Its mother nature at least
Watch humanity cease,
Cause it's our human disease.
You got to kill when you gotta kill,
Yeah that's what they say.
And I can't go against God's will,
You better pray
'Cause I'm an angel, a demon.
Yeah I'm hell and I'm heaven
I'm everything you couldn't be, now you believe in the devil.
I got to pick up the pieces, I got to bury them deep
And when the dirt hits the coffin
Just go to sleep.
I don't wanna die,
I don't wanna die,
I don't wanna die
So you're gonna have to.
I don't wanna die,
I don't wanna die,
No I don't wanna die
So you're gonna have to.
Blood is getter hotter
Body's getting colder
I've told you once,
I'm the only one who holds her
I don't wanna die,
I don't wanna die,
I don't wanna die
Now that I see
I see you buried
Six feet below.
Another life, goes into the night.
I couldn't let him breathe,
'Cause I didn't wanna die
Now that I see
I see you buried
Six feet below.
It's not alright
Can't you hear me as I cry?
I couldn't let you live,
'Cause I didn't wanna die
I don't wanna die,
I don't wanna die,
No I don't wanna die
I don't wanna die,
I don't wanna die,
I don't wanna die,
So you're gonna have to.
I don't wanna die.
I don't wanna die.
No I don't wanna die
So you're gonna have to.
I don't wanna die,
I don't wanna die
So you're gonna have to
I don't wanna die,
I don't wanna die,
No I don't wanna die
So you're gonna have to
Blood is getter hotter
Body's getting colder
I've told you once,
I'm the only one who holds her
I don't wanna die,
I don't wanna die,
I don't wanna die
So you're gonna have to

And try to find someone else
Someone who's willing to die,
Instead of watching you cry for help.
I know that blood will be spilled,
And if you wont, then I will.
My grave will never be filled,
It's either kill or be killed.

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.

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.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
I think this song is about being married to a girl, and hurting her verbally, and physically. While doing so, making her cheat on you. ("I'm the only one who holds her")
It tears you apart, and you don't want to die feeling like this, and wanting the other guy to die. Or making you contemplate suicide.
