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.
Kuun ympärillä on kehä
tähän hallayöhön loppuu kesä
kietoudun tiukasti vaatteiden sisään
kun kylmä tuuli puhaltaa
Mustan veden äärettömyys
vaiko omantunnon äänettömyys
minua houkuttelee tänne
kivikkoiseen rantaan
Ja jos jonkun sainkin kainaloon
tiesin, silti yksin oon
sen kauniin kukan kadotin
enkä koskaan saanut takaisin
puolestani anna ruumiisi
edestäni vuodata veresi
loputtomia ehtoja sanelin
yksin kuoliaaksi palelin
Tuomittu (x2)
Kuljemme yksin täällä
kyynelten kastelemia teitä
synkkyyden vankina etsimme muita
eksyneitä
Katselemme kuinka aallot
piiskaavat rannan kiviä
limaisen roskan sekaan
enkelten siipien höyheniä
(x2):
Ja jos jonkun sainkin kainaloon
tiesin, silti yksin oon
sen kauniin kukan kadotin
enkä koskaan saanut takaisin
puolestani anna ruumiisi
edestäni vuodata veresi
loputtomia ehtoja sanelin
yksin kuoliaaksi palelin
Tuomittu (x4)

No Surprises
Radiohead
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.

Midnight
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Midnight” is a song about finding a love that is so true that it provides a calming feeling through every storm. Ed Sheeran reflects on his good fortunes in landing someone with such peace and support and speaks of not fearing the dark days because he knows they’ll all end in the safety nets of her arms.
“Well, good morning there / What a way to start the day / With everything laid bare,” Ed Sheeran sings in the first verse, enthusiastic to be waking up beside his woman. He apologizes for missing her calls in the second verse and promises to return them because for him, speaking to her is the most important thing. “Well, I get lost inside my head / In this chaos, you’re my calm / And I will find my feet again / ‘Cause еven the worst days of my life will always еnd / At midnight in your arms,” sings Ed Sheeran in the chorus, revelling in his good luck.
Around the moon, there is a circle This freezy night ends summer I wrap myself deeply to cloths When cold wind blows
Endless black water Or quiet emotions Orders me here To rocky cliffs
C If i managed to get someone to my armpit I still knew, im alone I lost that beautiful flower And never gained it back For me, you give your body For me, you give your blood Endless commands i gave Alone, i freeze to death
Sentenced!
We walk alone here Roads, wet from tears Sadness prisoners we look Other misdirected
We watch how waves Smash wavebreakers Slimy trash, they cover with Angels feathers
Repreat chorus
Sentenced! x4 at end
