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.
The setting sun
Shall bring to pass the fun
For everyone
But I don't show anyone
First, I'm the worst
To believe is your real friend
I won't, ever, leave this bed again
When I think about the times we had
I'm indifferent
This weight has been lifted, into the sky
Out of the corner of my eye
I saw this coming
And it's not stopping
Dead, and gone
You could have stopped
You could have stopped me if you tried
But it's clear now
That you don't have the insight
Cause inside you're blind
Confused and undefined
When I think about the times we had
I'm indifferent
This weight has been lifted, into the sky
Out of the corner of my eye
I saw this coming
And it's not stopping
Until I'm dead, and gone
You could have stopped
You could have stopped me if you tried
But it's clear now
That you don't have the insight
Cause inside you're blind
Confused and undefined
When I think about the times we had
I'm indifferent
This weight has been lifted, into the sky
Out of the corner of my eye
I saw this coming
And it's not stopping
Got to find a way outta here
Got to find a way out
Got to find a way outta here
No need to scream and shout
I trusted you, and what I got my friend
Was stabbed and shot point blank to death
If I had one wish
I wish that you get out of my life
Wish that you would cry so hard
Got to find a way outta here
Got to find a way out
Got to find a way outta here
No need to scream and shout
I don't want to ever see you again
I don't want to ever see you again
Got to find a way outta here
Got to find a way out
Got to find a way outta here
No need to fuck around
Shall bring to pass the fun
For everyone
But I don't show anyone
First, I'm the worst
To believe is your real friend
I won't, ever, leave this bed again
When I think about the times we had
I'm indifferent
This weight has been lifted, into the sky
Out of the corner of my eye
I saw this coming
And it's not stopping
Dead, and gone
You could have stopped
You could have stopped me if you tried
But it's clear now
That you don't have the insight
Cause inside you're blind
Confused and undefined
When I think about the times we had
I'm indifferent
This weight has been lifted, into the sky
Out of the corner of my eye
I saw this coming
And it's not stopping
Until I'm dead, and gone
You could have stopped
You could have stopped me if you tried
But it's clear now
That you don't have the insight
Cause inside you're blind
Confused and undefined
When I think about the times we had
I'm indifferent
This weight has been lifted, into the sky
Out of the corner of my eye
I saw this coming
And it's not stopping
Got to find a way outta here
Got to find a way out
Got to find a way outta here
No need to scream and shout
I trusted you, and what I got my friend
Was stabbed and shot point blank to death
If I had one wish
I wish that you get out of my life
Wish that you would cry so hard
Got to find a way outta here
Got to find a way out
Got to find a way outta here
No need to scream and shout
I don't want to ever see you again
I don't want to ever see you again
Got to find a way outta here
Got to find a way out
Got to find a way outta here
No need to fuck around

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.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
yeah I used to think it was one of the weakest but it's grown on me a lot. the guitar parts are probably some of the most fun out of the album to play too :P
