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.
You borrow the moment, betray your own heavens
The darkness is thickening, breathing gets harder
The balance is off, some take more than give back,
The attitude, ignorance, proved to be fatal
For that tiny spark that led our way
You poisoned the air, should you stay away, hence
Wish to be one of us, follow the trail
Take the time offered, don't toss it away
Travesty, no trial, defendant is guilty
And we are the judges and sentence the jury
To pay for forgiveness with silent contentment
Stand in the line with the rest of us
We cannot carry you further today
Hear what you don't say, thus help, in any way
Need you to learn how to cry without darkness
Face like the others the pain that is harmless
Feel the world has let you down
Somehow, we cannot see this
Have to bear the winter burn
You can only wait, if it will fade with time
Secrecy, silence, a stench of treason
The glow of the darkness, you brought in the daylight
The cure will not kill you, there's no such mercy.
Rules of the nature are fair and cruel
We cannot wait for you, for limbo, forever
Don't make us walk away, packs stay together
Fear would be justified. Will be there soon.
The things that you do will infect us too
Feel the world has let you down
Somehow, we cannot see this
Have to bear the winter burn
You can only wait, if it will fade with time
Where's your trust, where's your heart, where's your soul?
Who's your friend? Who'll be there in the end?
Who do you call a friend
Should we start to bewail?
A lot of things are changing
And re-arranging
I have to say I saw it coming
Yet did nothing
In the darkest of times
B.o.B's earn the right for the name
Not all shared the idea to give you the chance to
Fail us again, to bite off
The feeding hand
Counting one, two, see?
Odds defying the gravity
We'll move along, well fed puppy
You are too confident and careless to cut it
Had no rules, that is to change
Or you'll forever run alone
But you never will, the little child of the wild
You've got a skin, grey coat, they hate
No, you cannot hide behind your glowing eyes
You bear the sign and it won't fade
Feel the world has let you down
Somehow, we cannot see this
Have to bear the winter burn
You can only wait if it will fade with time
The darkness is thickening, breathing gets harder
The balance is off, some take more than give back,
The attitude, ignorance, proved to be fatal
For that tiny spark that led our way
You poisoned the air, should you stay away, hence
Wish to be one of us, follow the trail
Take the time offered, don't toss it away
Travesty, no trial, defendant is guilty
And we are the judges and sentence the jury
To pay for forgiveness with silent contentment
Stand in the line with the rest of us
We cannot carry you further today
Hear what you don't say, thus help, in any way
Need you to learn how to cry without darkness
Face like the others the pain that is harmless
Feel the world has let you down
Somehow, we cannot see this
Have to bear the winter burn
You can only wait, if it will fade with time
Secrecy, silence, a stench of treason
The glow of the darkness, you brought in the daylight
The cure will not kill you, there's no such mercy.
Rules of the nature are fair and cruel
We cannot wait for you, for limbo, forever
Don't make us walk away, packs stay together
Fear would be justified. Will be there soon.
The things that you do will infect us too
Feel the world has let you down
Somehow, we cannot see this
Have to bear the winter burn
You can only wait, if it will fade with time
Where's your trust, where's your heart, where's your soul?
Who's your friend? Who'll be there in the end?
Who do you call a friend
Should we start to bewail?
A lot of things are changing
And re-arranging
I have to say I saw it coming
Yet did nothing
In the darkest of times
B.o.B's earn the right for the name

Have to bear the winter burn
You can only wait if it will fade with time

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

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.
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.
my bad! just copied and pasted from a site. added too many lyrics at that time to listen to all the songs and see that they were correct
