"Poison Trees"
The roots of the matter run miles deep
This is the era of eternal sleep
Please everybody now but please be advised
Nothing's going away just cuz' you're closing your eyes
This is the harvest of some rotten seeds
This surely isn't any mystery
This is the fruit off of the poison trees
You better ask yourself what you believe
I see a storm it is coming down
And I can feel my bones creak
I know you can feel it too
But you're just too scared
Are you just too scared to speak?
The wire is tapped now and crackling hot
Words from the burning screen will make your stomach knot
Fear the hopeless and lock the door
Sweet safety praise the lord
The loud voices got the signals locked
All the past heroes now outlined in chalk
Well that'll teach the world to not walk the walk
Show your face out in the light and hear the pistols pop
Well.. this is the harvest of some rotten seeds
This surely isn't any mystery
This is the fruit off of the poison tree
You better ask yourself what you believe
I see a storm it is coming down
And I can feel it in my bones
I know you can feel it too
But you think that you're
You think that you're all alone
Old tactics leave you face down on the bricks
This new dog knows some terrible tricks
Turn the cameras off and it doesn't exist
That's a lesson well learned back in 1966
This is the harvest of some rotten seeds
This surely isn't any mystery
This is the fruit off of the poison trees
You better ask yourself what you believe
I see a storm it is coming down
And I can feel my bones creak
I know you can feel it too
But you just too scared
Are you just too scared to..
A storm it is coming down
And I can feel it in my bones
I know you can feel it too
But you think that you're
You think that you're all alone

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
Ed Sheeran
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.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
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.
This song was written after the 2008 financial crisis. At that time it looked like the world was coming apart. Nine years later it is amazing that The Powers That Be have been able to hold the system together by printing trillions of dollars. Many think we are still in the eye of the hurricane (admittedly a slow moving storm).
This song is a commentary on the Money Masters who run the world and the people who close their eyes to what is really going on, either because they are asleep, or are too afraid to open their eyes.
I relate to the line "words from the burning screen will make your stomach knot". I don't watch television for that very reason; it turns my stomach to see and feel the slightly sweetened venom they are constantly putting out- propaganda and disinformation as if it is reality, to create a slight feeling of dread just below the level of awareness. Keep the masses off balance, but the Masters will keep you safe if you just give up your rights. "The loud voices got the signals locked" The loud voices of the media lock out an alternative understanding of what is going on. They'll shout down anyone who questions the establishment presentation of 'reality'.
"All the past heroes now outlined in chalk Well that'll teach the world to not walk the walk Show your face out in the light and hear the pistols pop" This phrase speaks for itself, but let's draw attention to it because this is the crux of the matter. People are intimidated about going against the Masters. Look what happened to the Kennedy's, MLK, John Lennon, Ronald Reagan, George Carlin, Gary Webb (of Kill the Messenger fame), Judge Scalia, Seth Rich who leaked the Hilary Clinton emails to Wikileaks, the list goes on... that'll teach the world to not walk the walk. "Old tactics leaves you face down on the bricks This new dog knows some terrible tricks Turn the cameras off and it doesn't exist That's a lesson well learned back in 1966" The old tactics were simple crack'em on the head and put 'em face down on the bricks, the new tricks involve simply turning the cameras off of any dissent they don't want to gain traction. Protest against the outsider Trump? Full throttle coverage. Protest against the Establishment agenda- no coverage or coverage of protesters being brutally abused. During the Viet Nam War protests (1966) they got a lot of coverage- fueling the protests. Big Brother learned "turn the cameras off" and dissent doesn't exist. Yes, the people who are running things are some rotten seeds, and if you acknowledge that fact, it surely isn't any mystery why we are in the mess we are in. People in this country need to wake up. This state of affairs only continues because it all somehow flies under the radar. People do not want to see it. That works out just fine for the Oligarchs. They always operate by stealth, because they are few and we are many.
@mteblano or maybe it’s about the police. 1966 is the year of Miranda vs Arizona. An instance in which a person was interrogated for endless hours and eventually admitted to a crime he didn’t commit. Miranda rights were born as a result of a Supreme Court decision on this case. Face down on the bricks? It’s about the corruption of the police. Listen again with this in mind and tell me if you see it.
@mteblano It could relate to the Miranda case of 1966, but I don't see how that relates to "turn the cameras off and it doesn't exist". They seem to like to show footage of riot police beating up protesters, as they did in Chicago in '68. It's the substance of the protest that they turn the cameras off for.
This is about the financial crisis the character in the story is struggling through see my theory on all hail i think the whole album is a story
