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.
Hey, dude, it's true not sad
Take a thrash song and make it better
Remembah! That metal is in your heart
Then you can start to be a fretter
Hey, dude, don't be fuckin' 'fraid
You were made to go be a shreader
The minute you let us under your skin
Then you'll begin to be a fretter
So crank your amp and deal the pain
Hey, dude, you're fuckin' insane!
The rivers run red with blood of poseurs
And don't you know that he's the fool
Who plays it cool
But needs for his beer to be much colder
Hey, dude, neva' turn it down!
You must pound her, I mean Kip Winger
New wave of British heavy metal is in your heart
And you can start with Diamond Headers
So let it out! Let it in!
Hey, dude, begin
Don't wait for the eye of the beholder
You'll never know when bells toll for you
Hey, dude, you'll do
Just sling that flying-V 'cross your shoulder
Hey, dude, it's true not sad
Take a thrash song and make it better
Admit it! Beatallica's under your skin!
So now begin to be a shreader
Take a thrash song and make it better
Remembah! That metal is in your heart
Then you can start to be a fretter
Hey, dude, don't be fuckin' 'fraid
You were made to go be a shreader
The minute you let us under your skin
Then you'll begin to be a fretter
So crank your amp and deal the pain
Hey, dude, you're fuckin' insane!
The rivers run red with blood of poseurs
And don't you know that he's the fool
Who plays it cool
But needs for his beer to be much colder
Hey, dude, neva' turn it down!
You must pound her, I mean Kip Winger
New wave of British heavy metal is in your heart
And you can start with Diamond Headers
So let it out! Let it in!
Hey, dude, begin
Don't wait for the eye of the beholder
You'll never know when bells toll for you
Hey, dude, you'll do
Just sling that flying-V 'cross your shoulder
Hey, dude, it's true not sad
Take a thrash song and make it better
Admit it! Beatallica's under your skin!
So now begin to be a shreader

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.

Page
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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.
