This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
life-like, a place to live and clothes to wear life-like, starting here and ending there life-like, maximising time and space life-like, a happy smile upon my face all this and so much more light floods the open door blood's rushing to my head i'm standing on the edge of life-like crawling up out of the slime life-like, standing in the check out line life-like, eyeing all the pretty girls life-like, dreaming of another world where are my friends today? what games shall we play? in their hearts i can't see nothing looks back at me but life-like life a million souls await the call the call to rise and sing they stand and fall while in the clouds the angels count the myriad things divinity and grace have etched like lines upon the face of god but here it's very odd his miracles abound but they are drowned in the sound of tapping fingers life-like life-like life-like life-like, a face for every double take life-like, the genuine, original fake life-like, in the lies you tell to me life-like, a reasonable facsimile open your hand to me in your palm i can read long life and happiness it's just like all the rest, it's life-like life in the morning i walk beneath a shining sun my steps reverberate in beat with the mutters of humanity those murmurs fill my ears but the voice of god i never hear as i walk along that busy street and though there's nothing left to seek the streaks of the tears upon my cheeks are life-like life-like life-like life-like owhoa, life-like owhoa, life-like owhoa, life-like owhoa, life-like

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
Hayalperest
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.
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.
