rip it, tear it, smash the controls
let it all go down for the people outside
we want your chaos
we don't want your fucking stability

economic wars of destruction
rip apart the fucking function
now we fall in the ground
we face the sound, we die forever

infested your intervention of hate
left half-dead, completely mutilate
scraping at the wall
try to escape, but nothing hears
the beauty of life is slowly sinking in

yeah, don't push down, you let it in
you push it down, you let it end
you push it down

you live your life on a splattered soul
we watch it sink into the floor
now you can see the light of day
everyone just closes their eyes

now you can see reality
we live on broken tv screens
now you can kiss it goodbye

the red light comes crawling down
now rolling into nothing
look, i'm feeling down
the red light comes calling you
now they don't know what burns so
so spill the blood all over you

feeling pain, agony
stressed fate
on your knees, bow down
to the ones you plead

rip it up, this sound
will not stop 'till you realize
now, now let it go
this sound will not stop
Cut Throat Psycho Rave Mix
the knife that slices your throat
the knife that slices your throat


fucking die, mother fucker
fucking die, mother fucker
fucking die, mother fucker
fucking die, mother fucker

fucking die, mother fucker

infested your intervention of hate
scrape at the walls, try to escape
nothing hears, nothing hears
the beauty of life is slowly sinking in
sinking in

the knife that slices your throat
the knife that slices your throat

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

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.

Punchline
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.
