This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Quem sou eu? Não interessa!
Como também não interessa quem é você!
Interessa é saber o que somos...a vida ou a morte!
Coragem ou medo...em resumo o que procuras?
O paraíso ou o inferno?
O que é mais violento?
Os animais?A força da natureza? Não!
É o aprisionamento da liberdade de expressão
Sentir, ouvir e não poder falar.
De que servem as regras, burocracia, sistema e leis
Se o carrasco do poder degola a nossa cultura?
Ahhh você não se importa com o destino do mundo
És corajoso demais, então por que temes diante do caixão?
Seu melhor amigo evita a Sepultura
Sua certa e última morada
Temes a batalha do Armagedon, a ira do Oligatan
O Apocalipse final, mas por que esse temor
Se pasaste por todos os prazeres terrenos
Os sete pecados capitais e todas as aberraçžes sexuais
Hmmm porque está ciente de que não existe o terror
No entanto o terror o aprisiona
Mas o que é o terror?
Hahaha não aceita o terror porque o terror é voces!!
[English translation:]
Who am I? It doesn't matter! Just as it doesn't matter who you are.
What matters is to know what we are...life or death.
Courage or fear shortly: what dost thou seek?
Paradise or Hell?
What is more violent? The animals? The force of nature?
It's the imprisonment of the freedom of speech
To feel, to hear, unable to speak.
What good are the rules, bureaucracy, systems and laws,
If the executioner of power decapitates our culture?
You don't care about the fate of the world
How brave you are, then why do you fear the coffin?
Your best friend avoids the grave
His last and certain home.
You fear the battle of Armageddon, the wrath of Oligathan,
The final Apocalypse but why this fear,
If you've been through all earthly pleasures the seven deadly sins
And all the sexual aberrations because you're sure that terror doesn't exist,
However, terror imprisons you but what is terror?
You won't accept terror because terror is you

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.
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
Magical
Ed Sheeran

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
