High Times

Landon Pigg

I put a bomb in your fire, you say "Uh oh, uh oh"
I put a bomb in your fire, you say "Uh oh, uh oh"
There is a way to predict the outcome of people like you
You are a sheep in sheep's clothing and you know, you know
I am a'coming to get you, you say "Uh oh, uh oh"
There is a way to predict the outcome of people like you

I open up my gates and you become mine
It's game over in my undertow
I wish I could explain, but I just ain't got the time
So I'll show ya, watch out now here it goes

Ah-Ah-Ah-Ah-Ah
Won't you lower your sword and your shield?
Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh
I'm gonna show you how submission feels
Ah-Ah-Ah-Ah-Ah
Won't you take off your armor for me?
Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh
I'm gonna show you how to be free

I am the sun spark solar flame and you know, you know
There isn't any place anywhere that you go, you go
That you, you won't feel my flame
And when you try to resist it's like Ha-ha-ha-hot
There is no way around this tell me ho-ho-ho-holy roller, can you feel my flame?

I open up my gates and you become mine
It's game over in my under tow
And I wish I could explain, but I just ain't got the time
So watch out now, here it goes

Ah-Ah-Ah-Ah-Ah
Won't you lower your sword and your shield?
Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh
I'm gonna show you how submission feels
Ah-Ah-Ah-Ah-Ah
Won't you take off your armor for me?
Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh
I'm gonna show you how to be free

I think it's high time for me to give you a kiss
I bet you'd never find a thimble looking like this
I think it's high time for me to give you a kiss
If someone would cover for me well maybe it'da happen before the end of this riff
Cover for me

Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh
Won't you lower your sword and your shield?
Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh
I'm gonna show you how submission feels
Ah-Ah-Ah-Ah-Ah
Won't you shrug off your armor for me?
Ooh-Ah-Oh-Ah-Oh-Ah-Oh
I'm gonna show you how to be free.

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
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.

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.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

Page
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.
