This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
morning new disease charcoal in bed / boansoaked anemic listen in horror / to the scraping of flatware and china / and saran wrap to stifle libido / air shaft a chasm their lives flung open / sickness is a time for hating your neighbors / in their milk flats with five kids too many / having day sex because they're all daughters / and you're thinking the same two things / over and over again / I am dreaming of a life and I am dreaming of waking up / there's this anger rising cancer in me standing like a wall between / the waking world I seek and this infected plane of sleep / love come like an axe to all this ice and set me free / there's a black rewarding book / beneath this stiff sheet if you look carefully / noise police white hearse tv air wave methadone / diet contact safe sex antibiotics / for your safety we've taken sharp objects / it's their object to keep you from waking / taste test serenade we dig the grave / lose weight astrologically no money down / for your enjoyment we've excised the dialogue / for your protection we've installed a camera / just keep thinking the same clean thoughts / and keep telling yourself it's allright / I am dreaming of a life / and it's not the life that's mine / in a stolen car I rocket west out past that Jersey line / and the robots in their riot gear glimmer in my rearview mirror / love came like an axe and had her way with this coarse earth / and a small deserving book she was recovered and understood / and I awoke

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri

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.

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
mechassassin1... i don't think it can be about 1984- although i can see the overall theme could be likened to it, the lyrics themselves make no reference nor allusion to anything. personally i think it's about people's lives being empty and them not being able to better themselves. the lines "in their milk flats with five kids too many" and "I am dreaming of a life / and it's not the life that's mine" make my point i think.. they make me sad too, lol. overall a fantastic song- one i don't think i'll ever tire of- and as proven, one that has a lot of meaning that everyone interprets differently. great tune, riffs too. what else do u want from a song? :P
"I am dreaming of a life, and it's not the life that's mine." Amazing song. Amazing lyrics.
Not enough people realize how truly wonderful this song is. my favorite would have to be "air shaft a chasm their lives flung open, sickness is a time for hating your neighbors."
"and i awoke" i get chills down my spine every time i hear that line (and that wasnt mean to rhyme!)
its about winston in trhe book 1984...its great,

'to the scraping of flatware and china and saran wrap to stifle libido' this is my favourite line in the song. To mean it says, I am so sick of being stuck in a committed relationship without any hot sex! It screams of wanting to get out of the situation.
the best line i've ever heard: "and the robots in their riot gear glimmer in my rearview mirror." just beautiful. to me this song is talking about the disease of depression and society making it difficult to accomplish your dreams.
I always think of how modern day society labels us and tells us how much shit is wrong with us, in the olden days people didn't have 50 different diseases and disorders and problems to worry about, they came in the package of life. I don't know, that doesn't make sense, but that's me.
does anyone wanna take a shot at what the black, rewarding book is? I guess the most obvious answer would be the bible, but that really doesnt seem to sit well with the rest of the song.
