This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
I see them staring back at me
They know my name
The faces in the sky are looking for something more
My friends have paper smiles and laugh at me in all my trials
Their eyes are everywhere and see everything
What do
They need
And I need them
See me, and I see them
Within the lines they've been burned in my mind(burned in my mind!)
It all ends so violently, I know
My sweet pareidolia
It all ends so painfully and slow
My pareidolia
My friends have hollow eyes
They're made of shapes and curvy lines
Their eyes are everywhere and see everything
What do
They need me
And I need them
See me, and I see them
Within in the lines they've been burned in my mind(burned in my mind!)
It all ends so violently, I know
My sweet pareidolia
It all ends so painfully and slow
My pareidolia
The loneliness is only missed when I am alone
Ohhhh
Yeahh
I might try to find my light tonight
Hide my sight from eyes I try to fight
My nine eyes of light die by the blight
Ride Wight knight unite my plight tonight
They're inside me(They're inside me!)
I'm inside out(I'm inside out!)
They're all around
Within, without(Within, without!)
They're inside, I'm outside
They're all around(They're all around!)
They're inside me
I'm inside out
They're all around
(Within, without!)
It all ends so violently, I know
My sweet pareidolia
It all ends so painfully and slow
My pareidolia
La la la la

Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,
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.
Head > Heels

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
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.
Ok this one is a bit easy.
Overview: Well, Pariedolia is the natural and constantly occuring phenomenon of the huuman brain recognizing
shapes from its memory to other abstract shapes. For example, seeing a boat or face in the clouds. A very common use of this would be as simple as this :) Now your brain automatically, from seeing it before, nitices as a human face. Even if you didn't notice it at first your brain would still see it that way and you would slowly notice it. Now that that is cleared you may already see where this is headed. However if you don't. Please keep reading.
(Phrases:) Now, Im not sure what to make of the first phrase so i will skip ahead.
My friends have hollow eyes They're made of shapes and curvy lines Their eyes are everywhere and see everything
Now this is stating that the person has become dillusional and sees the faces very often as to call them their "friend". Could be Sam?? As she is used to seeing the zombies over, and over, and over, and over. Also because she calls them her friends.
What do They need me And I need them See me, and I see them
They need her to control them, she needs them for revenge. They see her (mentally) and she sees them?
I might try to find my light tonight Hide my sight from eyes I try to fight My nine eyes of light die by the blight Ride Wight knight unite my plight tonight
m not too sure.
They're inside me I'm inside out They're all around (Within, without!)
She can't escape them.
since i'm feelin lazy and tired, i'll make this quick and focus on one part. the second verse and the chorus.
FIRST VERSE: you see, when i hear the line: "My friends have hollow eyes" i immediately think of the zombbies themselves. if you're an avid, DIE HARD zombies fan, like myself, you'd know what i mean. they're eyes are souless and glowing, only dimming at the moment of their... um... death (for lack of a better term).
then i listen to the line: "they're made of shapes and curvy lines" i think of the hundreds and hundreds of zombies moving in such large groups, that its not hard to just see shapes and lines that form these ghastly creatures.
next comes the repeating line: "they'er eyes are everywhere see eveything..." which means, again, that there are thousands of zombies, and with sam being the one who controls them, there's no doubt she see's their eyes everywhere! heh.
THE CHORUS:
"it all ends so violently i know, my sweet pareidolia... it all ends so painfully and slow, my pareidolia!" ... ... WOW... this actually has some heavy meaning to it. it actually shows sam has her caring side as well as a cold blooded killer in charge of the undead. when she says it all ends so voilently i know, she's ... SOOTHING the zombies, by telling them she knows they die violently and painfully, and she's sorry about that. she just needs them to help her kill richtofan and/or make him suffer. same goes for the second line. notice her usage of the word sweet. she talks as if stopping a child from crying. spooky huh? its cool as well!. well, yawn i'm beat. i gotta go to bed, cause I'M EXAUSTED!! adios...
...for now.
oops... i said first verse insted of second verse... my bad. ;)
I see them staring back at me They know my name The faces in the sky are looking for something more My friends have paper smiles and laugh at me in all my trials Their eyes are everywhere and see everything
^I believe this is viewed from Samantha's perspective (along with the entire song). This paragrpah refers to the title "Pareidolia" and explains all the things Sam creates in her mind. She feels like she is being watched and analyzed by the "faces in the sky" which are nothing but pigments of her own imagination.
What do They need And I need them See me, and I see them Within the lines they've been burned in my mind
^Sam needs the zombies so that she can get revenge on Richtofen for her and her fathers death. The zombies need Sam so that they have a sense of direction. They see eachothers need for the other. The lines that have burned in their mind is the path they've chosen and their desire to complete their task (richtofen's death).
It all ends so violently, I know My sweet pareidolia It all ends so painfully and slow My pareidolia
^The chorus is pretty straight forward. Zombies are violently slaughtered by the 4 characters, it ends painfully and slow as each round the zombies get stronger and stronger, slowly overwhelming the characters. I think "My sweet pareidolia" explains that Sam may imagining all this is her head and is her skew from reality.
My friends have hollow eyes They're made of shapes and curvy lines They're eyes are everywhere and see everything
^Sam is reffering back to her pareidolic views
The loneliness is only missed when I am alone
^I think she is talking about her being alone in the afterlife, and in her attempt to kill richtofen, she will have company
I might try to find my light tonight Hide my sight from eyes I try to fight My nine eyes of light die by the blight Ride Wight knight unite my plight tonight
^This part I'm still unsure about, I'm thinking it doesn't actually fit in context, it just sounds cool to sing in the song
They're inside me(They're inside me!) I'm inside out(I'm inside out!) They're all around Within, without(Within, without!) They're inside, I'm outside They're all around(They're all around!) They're inside me I'm inside out They're all around (Within, without!)
^ Sam's desire to kill Richtofen is overhwleming her and allowing the pareidolic views to control her.
