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.
So, one thing led to another
You're calling her our lover
My brother's her brother
And if you want me to do it, I
guess that I'll do it, but
I'm telling you
One wrong move and yeah we're through
Hey there sister wife
Get the hell out it's my night
You don't know the way to his heart
Like I do
Hey there sister wife
Get the hell out it's my life
You don't know the way to his heart
Like I do
Yeah, man, kick out the logic
With you as the prophet
I don't think you got this
And holy as our father
I'd rather not bother, I
and I'm telling you
One wrong move and we're through
Hey there sister wife
Get the hell out it's my night
You don't know the way to his heart
Like I do
Hey there sister wife
Get the hell out it's my night
You don't know the way to his heart
Like I do
I'm stuck with two
I'm stuck with you
I'm stuck with two
I'm stuck with
Hey there sister wife
Get the hell out it's my night

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.
Head > Heels

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
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.

// Pretty sure she alternates between "life" and "night" in the chorus; either way, it is definitely about polygamy.
As for the video, the one snake and one real vs one fake cat is definitely representative of a phallus, the first wife, and the second wife. The snake around Alex's neck represents that she's the first, original wife. The fake cat spewing blood on her, to me, represents a challenge; that's a representation of the sister character, who is related to Alex's character by blood first and by marriage second, so spraying the blood in her face represents reminding Alex of their familial tie (you know, the whole 'we're siblings so you have to love me') while also ending it. It's as if to say, "If our blood relationship prevents this, then I'll get rid of it."
I think the color of the cats has less to do with premarital purity than to highlight that they're two brides: the idea that "one thing led to another" and "calling her our lover" says it was a marriage of passion, not arrangement. It's also indicated by the fact that the entire video is a metaphor for homewrecking. The place is destroyed through the course of it, indicating that what once was a lovely home is now being ripped in two by the addition of this sister wife.
too many big words and long sentences. i think its about too many people involved in a relationship. nuff said
This is a totally flawless interpretation. Really great job!
It's important to mention that a lot of the elements of the music video (the kimono, the white cats, the cat gushing blood) are an homage to Nobohiko Obayashi's 1977 film "House" (sometimes spelled "Hausu"). Sooooo the imagery in the video may just be an homage, or they COULD be double entendres.
Indeed! The first time I watched it I thought it was merely a Hausu homage and didn't see the underlying sexual meaning.
i read this book calles Peony in love by lisa see which made this song very clear to me from the beginning. In china, if a widower gets married, his second wife is a sister wife of his first. The second wife prays and does rituals to be on good terms with her sister wife so the first wofe's soul doesnt "haunt" her or torment her. because whatever the second wife does with the husband the first (sister) wife also experiences it. Read the lyrics again and see :) I also reccomend the book its amazing!
Did anyone watch the music video? Did anyone notice the snake (phallic symbol??) "hunting" the cat (pussy?)?! I think that these lyrics and the video were saying how the character Alex Winston played in the song and corresponding music video was talked into being a sister wife by her husband(obviously). but did anyone notice the snake coiled around her neck? I think that says that Alex is more experienced in bed than the other sister wife, hence the white cat spewing blood, representing a pure, young, freshly menstruating girl, who was likely brought up in a polygamist family, rushed into a polygamist marriage, and is being a grubby bitch and the two compete for their husband's affection. anyhow, in short, I think that this song a polygamy parody. I dont know about the cart part. maybe it was just meant to be weird.
When people get in the way of relationships, family, friends and you're like fuck off I wanna have fun! That's what this song reminds me of.
