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.
Blackened doors and
The great great one
Pick a low number
Go
Decorating my doorway
Decorating my walls
Making the bed, looking foward to sleep
Letting myself fall
Sorry for my dreams
I just didn't know
How long you could wait
Doesn't matter now
Scrambling over it
Knees all skinned and trees
Laying tired old eyes
Feeling young and scared
I never have owned this
Without this tie with you
I'll never have wanted
To not have what we went through
Sorry for my dreams
I just didn't know
How long you could wait
Doesn't matter now
Sorry for my dreams
I just didn't know
How long you could wait
Doesn't matter now
So wont you go?
Lie to your love
Just go
Creep up on girls alone
Alone, just go
The great great one
Pick a low number
Go
Decorating my doorway
Decorating my walls
Making the bed, looking foward to sleep
Letting myself fall
Sorry for my dreams
I just didn't know
How long you could wait
Doesn't matter now
Scrambling over it
Knees all skinned and trees
Laying tired old eyes
Feeling young and scared
I never have owned this
Without this tie with you
I'll never have wanted
To not have what we went through
Sorry for my dreams
I just didn't know
How long you could wait
Doesn't matter now
Sorry for my dreams
I just didn't know
How long you could wait
Doesn't matter now
So wont you go?
Lie to your love
Just go
Creep up on girls alone
Alone, just go

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
No Surprises

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.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
Head > Heels

Ed Sheeran
“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.
it sounds to me like he left someone and went somewhere to follow his dreams...and hes trying to fix up his new place to make it feel like home, but it doesn't feel quite right because he doesn't want to leave the person behind waiting for him because they've been through so much together...possibly a going off to college story? or maybe thats just the mindset i'm in right now...i really like this song a lot...
The ultimate song of regret.
i don't know specifically what he's talking about, but i love the lines "I'd never have owned this without this time with you, i'll never have wanted to not have what we went through" that parallels for me my last serious relationship... i would never have owned my own life or become my own person without the relationship and even though he really hurt me i wouldn't give it up for anything. ho hum... just my thought.
I think the song is about a seperation with someone as well. "So wont you go?/ Lie to your love/ Just go" kind of connotes some sort of way he said that if you're not going to seperate from someone, then "who the fuck cares you heartless bitch, just cheat on them" sort of thing.
but it really does sound like a going off to college thing.
i think it's about trying to love someone from far away and having them cheat on you... "i just didn't know how long you could wait" and "lie to your love"... it makes perfect sense to me now.
I love this song. I got "lie to your love..." put on a t-shirt. (+1 scene points)
I think it's about being friends with someone who loves you. And you know they're in love with you, but you don't feel that way about them - or maybe you do, and you just don't want to admit it to yourself. And then one day you wake up and realise that you love them too, but it's too late.
"Sorry for my dreams. I just didn't know How long you could wait. Doesn't matter now."
i think it's about a long distance relationship (maybe a relationship that failed because of jonah being on tour?) but a long distance relationship none-the-ess
"i just didn't know how long you could wait doesn't matter now"
makes sense to me
