This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Drowned in this screaming silence
Embraced by shadows, they tear me
The wormholes free my eyes
The blood boils - it knows
My thoughts burn as minds liquify, vaporize
Reality scorched by this fixed state
All beginnings slain by ends
I seep down into the black to breathe
Drifting to merge with the past
My tongue licks the residue of the future
Bitter taste, the wombs of claws call me
Filth rips them open. The stillborn start to move
Lidless eyes twitching beneath a sheet of rot
They reach out, they want to kiss - It matters not
In dreams it speaks to me of the truth that means reality
Embraced by shadows, they tear me
The wormholes free my eyes
The blood boils - it knows
My thoughts burn as minds liquify, vaporize
Reality scorched by this fixed state
All beginnings slain by ends
I seep down into the black to breathe
Drifting to merge with the past
My tongue licks the residue of the future
Bitter taste, the wombs of claws call me
Filth rips them open. The stillborn start to move
Lidless eyes twitching beneath a sheet of rot
They reach out, they want to kiss - It matters not
In dreams it speaks to me of the truth that means reality

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.
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
Meshuggah is the heaviest band on the planet and their lyrics are very deep. I think this is my favorite song on the Nothing album because it’s so slow and ugly.
“Drowned in screaming silence, embraced by shadows, they tear me. The worm holes free my eyes.” The narrator is sitting in silence and surrounded by complete darkness. The shadows he speaks of could be many different things, dark thoughts, evil spirits or hateful memories. They tear at him, causing affliction to his present state being, but the wormholes free his eyes. A wormhole is a theoretic distortion of space-time that links one location or time to another allowing you to travel between them almost instantly. This is a metaphor for his mind or his mind’s eye taking him, by his thoughts, away from his darkened state.
“The blood boils - it knows. My thoughts burn as minds liquefy, vaporize, reality scorched by this fixed state.” He can feel the hate boil in his veins because “it” (the darkened spirit) knows he is trying to escape. Everything from his thoughts to his mind and even reality are burning from this struggle, from his “fixed state”.
“All beginnings slain by ends, I seep down into the black to breath.” This statement refers to his “fixed state,” the realization that everything dies and the only way he can cope is to “seep” into the darkness (which can mean evil thoughts or evil sprits) just to breathe.
“Drifting to merge with the past, my tongue licks the residue of the future.” He thinks of the past, of old beginnings, and he knows what the future will hold because to him all life leads to death.
“Bitter taste, the wombs of claws call me, filth rips them open, the stillborn start to move, Lidless eyes twitching beneath a sheet of rot. They reach out they want to kiss – it matters not.” It’s almost sweet to know his own future, but when it is death, the taste is bitter. He can hear the womb (comfort) of false (claws) hope calling him, but filth, or darkness “rips them open” revealing their inner evil. This is a perfect picture of how evil destroys itself. He sees the stillborn (unknowing humans) lives that float in a state of existence where their “lidless,” always open eyes endlessly receive the rot (darkness, sin), the very sheet that is draped over them all. They reach out for him, just for a “kiss” (the longing for guidance), but he knows that they do not want to hear the truth, so to him “they matter not.”
“In dreams it speaks to me, the truth that means reality.” A being or spirit visits him in his sleep, telling him the truth of life which to him is death.
SuperShredder hit it spot on. Existence is brutal, nothing else to it.
