This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Caught out cold, cold
Hiding from you in this skin
So, old
I'll come, clean
Everyone-everyone knows
It's, me
And if I recover
Will you be my comfort?
Or it can be over
Or we can just leave it here
So pick any number
Choose any color
I've got the answer
Open the envelope
I'll give you one more chance
To say we can change or part ways
And you take what you need
And you don't need me
I'll give you one more chance
To say we can change our old ways
And you take what you need
And you know you don't need me
Blow by blow
Honest in every way I know
You appear
To face a decision I know you fear
And if I recover
Will you be my comfort?
Or it can be over
Or we can just leave it here
So pick any number
Choose any color
I've got the answer
Open the envelope
I'll give you one more chance
To say we can change or part ways
And you take what you need
And you don't need me
I'll give you one more chance
To say we can change our old ways
And you take what you need
And you know you don't need me
And you know you don't need me
And if I recover
Will you be my comfort
Or it can be over
Or we can just leave it here
So pick any number
Choose any color
I've got the answer
Open the envelope
I'll give you one more chance
To say we can change or part ways
And you take what you need
And you don't need me
I'll give you one more chance
To say we can change our old ways
And you take what you need
And you know you don't need me
Hiding from you in this skin
So, old
I'll come, clean
Everyone-everyone knows
It's, me
And if I recover
Will you be my comfort?
Or it can be over
Or we can just leave it here
So pick any number
Choose any color
I've got the answer
Open the envelope
I'll give you one more chance
To say we can change or part ways
And you take what you need
And you don't need me
I'll give you one more chance
To say we can change our old ways

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.
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.

"Carved earth, cold Hiding from you in this skin So, old I'll come, clean Everywhere everyone knows Its, me"
I believe this part is saying how the other in the relationship turned cold. The singer probably knew she wanted to end the relationship, and has been hiding from them internally because the other been cold hearted so much recently. She decided to finally come out clean, and speak her mind publicly about it, possibly stop the other from wanting to end it because she still loves them, and save the relationship. And suddenly, everywhere, everyone knows about whats going on. The relationship is just turning over, going rapidly downhill in a matter of deciding moments.
he then says if she recovers from that unforgivable pain or action that the other caused, and ends up quickly forgiving, will the other who was being cold, and probably harsh, still be there still to comfort her? If not, it can be over, and they can, sadly, part ways.
"Pick any number Choose any color I've got the answer Open the envelope"
This sounds like a reference to one of those origami paper fortune tellers. Should the other stay, it will depend on their choices the outcome of the relationship, not the singers. The singer will have the answers of their outcome depending on the others choices...they may be together, but the singer will have lost trust and be the one holding onto a thin line. The envelope is simply the flap on the fortune teller that says the answers created by the singer.
"I'll give you one more chance To say we can change or part ways And you take what you need And you don't need me
I'll give you one more chance To say we can change our old ways And you take what you need And you know you don't need me"
In these deciding moments, the singer decides to give the other one more chance to decide to want to be with her, and change what they did wrong. She knows its not her own fault, but out of love she wants to try to forgive the other. Its kind of an in-denial point of view, where the relationship is in its most critical point, where she wishes they would stay together, but knows deep inside they wont for some reason. If thats true, they can part ways and the other will take what they need. When she claims the other knows they don't need her, the other probably stated that to her.
I've been through something exactly like this. And I gave them that last minute chance and choice to redeem themselves. I was hoping so much after I recovered From finding the real truth, as to why they were being so cold hearted, and claiming they didnt need me, simply to hurt me. An unforgivable truth. And it was that panicking rush, and last moments of truth during the end, that I believe this song is about. Wanting to save something that you know can't, trying to forgive.
first of all... sorry for my english, I'm not native, I'm rom Spain...<br /> I suffered the same in my relationship.. I knew everything was going to break up but I didn´t want to realise it... Its weird when someone loves you but knows he cannot break up with you because of the pain he is going to inflict on you...<br /> I think that this song; as you have just said, defines the way we love people... we sometimes know we are in a poisonous relationship but we rather preffer suffering that pain rather than being without him/her and thats why we wait till' the final moment... hope you' ve understand :)
