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.
Stop dragging around
I think that somebody knows
(turn it up, turn it up)
I think that somebody knows
(turn it up, turn it up)
So they can watch me explode
Another piece of me is gone again
I don't want you to go
But I already know
(turn it up, turn it up)
Yeah, I already know
(turn it up, turn it up)
It's probably better to go
And you can leave if it's easier
Lost and useless
No more bruises
I'll burn this place down
Don't make no sound
September won't you bring me some rain again?
This sun is melting my skin
And I would give you anything to feel something else
September falls away 'till I'm broken
I just hate the sound
And I can feel the water changing me,
It's changing me for good
I won't see you a while
But I guess it depends
(turn it up, turn it up)
Well I guess it depends
(turn it up, turn it up)
And maybe if I pretend that
If it's our of sight, it's out of mind
And nobody is wrong
And nobody is right
(turn it up, turn it up)
Nobody is right
(turn it up, turn it up)
Then how come tonight
Another piece of me is gone again?
Lost and useless
No more bruises
I'll burn this place down
Don't make no sound
September won't you bring me some rain again?
This sun is melting my skin
And I would give you anything to feel something else
September falls away 'till I'm broken
I just hate the sound
And I can feel the water changing me,
It's changing me for good
Bite down hard, bite down.
September won't you bring me some rain again?
This sun is melting my skin
And I would give you anything to feel something else
September falls away 'till I'm broken
I just hate the sound
And I can feel the water changing me,
It's changing me for good
September won't you bring me some rain again?
I'm melting here alive
Cause I can feel the water changing me,
It's changing me for good
Bite down hard, bite down
I think that somebody knows
(turn it up, turn it up)
I think that somebody knows
(turn it up, turn it up)
So they can watch me explode
Another piece of me is gone again
I don't want you to go
But I already know
(turn it up, turn it up)
Yeah, I already know
(turn it up, turn it up)
It's probably better to go
And you can leave if it's easier
Lost and useless
No more bruises
I'll burn this place down
Don't make no sound
September won't you bring me some rain again?
This sun is melting my skin
And I would give you anything to feel something else
September falls away 'till I'm broken
I just hate the sound
And I can feel the water changing me,
It's changing me for good
I won't see you a while
But I guess it depends
(turn it up, turn it up)
Well I guess it depends
(turn it up, turn it up)
And maybe if I pretend that
If it's our of sight, it's out of mind
And nobody is wrong
And nobody is right
(turn it up, turn it up)
Nobody is right
(turn it up, turn it up)
Then how come tonight
Another piece of me is gone again?
Lost and useless
No more bruises
I'll burn this place down
Don't make no sound
September won't you bring me some rain again?
This sun is melting my skin
And I would give you anything to feel something else
September falls away 'till I'm broken
I just hate the sound
And I can feel the water changing me,
It's changing me for good
Bite down hard, bite down.
September won't you bring me some rain again?
This sun is melting my skin
And I would give you anything to feel something else
September falls away 'till I'm broken
I just hate the sound
And I can feel the water changing me,
It's changing me for good
September won't you bring me some rain again?
I'm melting here alive
Cause I can feel the water changing me,
It's changing me for good
Bite down hard, bite down

Holiday
Bee Gees
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
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.
