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.
[Intro:]
Sound, vibrations traveling through air
Or other materials that can be interpreted by the nerves in the ear. (ah)
[Eligh]
Ha ha as my sound transmits from the bottomless pit
I compound to irrigate my garden, keep it freshly lit
Like a torch in the Olympics make it the first thing you spy
The first thing notice the potency and poetry I got
Try not to down another style
It disagrees with me
MCs come a dime a dozen shows are always free (not always)
A connoisseur of soul clapping beats to crack the concrete
React in a millisecond so disrespect's beyond me
Always moving up, sound could be better
High quality can't you tell?
Like a fellow producer I work with to excel
Cancel out the negatives rise above adversities
Modifying techniques my sound I'm always ?
[The Grouch]
I'm only out to be heard, now it occurred to me
It's not really what you see it's what I say to you
That's how you knew
Everyday I deal with dynamic ranges
Fuckin' with the pitch and amp, documenting changes
Felt it was the strangest, realm to try and conquer
Even close my eyes and it still wasn't gone to
My surprise I got wise
Grown to utilize cone
In an intangible zone
I call home
I own a deed
With tunes to bump it's what I breed
Always walk the talk so I maintain the lead
Sayin' sounds to Heath
So listen, close
Hope you're getting, most
Of the point
Man
[Hook:]
"Rock the beat"
Noise a disagreeable sound made by irregular vibration. Noise.
[Eligh]
Comin' in with no rhythm they're comin' in with no style
The radio they want repeats, same old people on weak beats
Monotonous, but I get the knock list
And we on top of this
Kill the noise
You and your boys all sound the same
Fill the void
Between your eardrum and your brain
Cause everything you make sounds like it's blessed by Plain Jane
Like PSC I happen to agree
Rap will never change
Unless we get a chance to break the chain and make a name
As the one's to blame for making standards higher in the range
Of what's considered music in this melting pot of losers
Won't confuse you for me (Why?)
Cause I do this for me (Oh)
And you do if for the money (Ah)
That's why your songs are crummy and my clothes are hella bummy
Now you tell me who's the dummy?
You're makin' noise
I'm makin' fun of the face that's hella runny
You's a fake (you's a fake)
I can see right threw you man. You's a fake!
[The Grouch]
Death to the wack MC's
Now if it isn't pretty then my ear disagrees
Oh please won't you please um, never be my neighbor
If the sound you make is noise then I'm a catch you later
Awkward ass voices they annoy
And sometimes accents destroyed
And though
Passion is enjoyed
That can be void if the frequency is off
In a simple conversation
You can be a loss
For being way too soft
Spoken
Worse yet, she can sound like a he and then my ding-a-ling is broken
Sing if for a token or cry it for a debt
Try it for a living than it better sound fresh
[Hook]
Music. Sounds having rhythm, melody or consonant. Agreeable sounds. Music.
[Eligh]
A musician is a beautician
Sound waves we listen to
Superstition, a condition that holds us back
I got the Exlax to relax your bowels you're smelling fowl (damn)
Pop in a tape ? instant relief (ahh!)
Music it's my savior that most agreeable frequency
Sit back, relax, motivate
Let everything flow sideways
Instead of taking the highway
I do it all my way
In a Who's the Boss kind of fly way
Not a low self esteem cry way (boo hoo hoo)
I like to fly away
Make music for a brighter day
For inner city alien or private school Homosapien with everything getting
Paid for them (Hey, I need some money)
My scope is wide range
So low my pride hangs
But you can't smash it with a stick
Cause I won't forget from where I came
Sound, noise, music, music, sound.
[The Grouch]
I eat, breathe and sleep the shit to keep fit
Didn't really like to study but the music brought wit
Fill the hole, ear the soul straight medicine for life
Theme music is the reason, I'm headed down the right
Path, do the math
There is no better answer
Common denominator's folks and it doesn't cause cancer
For once, praise the board,
The mic and the Lord at that
There's more to phat than which meets the eye
Noise, noise, music, sound, sound
[Jackson 5] "All together now"
Music, sound, music, music, sound
Sound, vibrations traveling through air
Or other materials that can be interpreted by the nerves in the ear. (ah)

Holiday

Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
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.
Magical

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.
