The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
They could be anywhere
You're not safe even in your T.V. chair
It could come from the air
Land or sea - the terror's everywhere
They could be anywhere
You're not safe not even under there
It could come through the air
In your mail - the terror's everywhere
It could be anyone
Could be your neighbour
Could be your only son
Don't hesitate to inform
Pick up the phone, the which hunt is on
Now plant the seeds of hate
A distorted mirror world
False flag deception - manufacturing consent
Let's point the finger
Trust the mistrust
Give the speech of
Peace and freedom
Peace and freedom
Peace and freedom - for all
Well we've come to the show
Burning towers crumble into dust
Acting like we don't know
When deep inside every thinking human must
Jetliners vaporize
Passports, bandanas and bodies still intact
No fighters patrol the skies
For two full hours - undeniable fact
Now reap the fields of hate
And send us off to war
False flag deception - manufacturing consent
It's never ending
Blood and money
Just keep spending
Peace and freedom
Peace and freedom
Peace and freedom - for all
"Virtually all of the concrete of these enormous
structures was pulverized into very fine dust.
Try this: get a piece of concrete and drop it,
a little over a thousand feet, and see if it
pulverizes into very fine dust. It won't happen."
Inconceivable, unbelievable
Can you smell the Reichtag fire in the air
The Mainila, the Mukden, the Gleiwitz of today
Serving casus belli - poison delicacy
Pearl Harbor, JFK, RFK
Admitting to Gulf of Tonkin and
Operation Northwoods
In another 40 years: 7/7 and Madrid
Through media playing mind games
All build on FEAR

"Your majesties, your royal highnesses,
distinguished members of the Norwegian Nobel
committee. We are at war. War. War, war, wars,
wars, wars, wars and wars, war, and armed
conflict. Battle in a distant land. Wars, wars
and nuclear war. Holy war. War in one form or
another. Just war. We choose to wage war. Just
war, war, war. Total wars. Another world war.
The relationship between war and peace and our
effort to replace one with the other. The
destructive power of war. I understand why war
is not popular, but I also know this: the belief
that peace is desirable is rarely enough to
achieve it. We will not eradicate violent conflict
in our lifetimes. There will be times when nations,
acting individually or in concert, will find the
use of force not only necessary, but morally
justified. The waging of war. The prospect of war.
The conduct of war. So yes, the instruments of war
do have a role to play in preserving the peace. War
is sometimes necessary. Let me make one final point
about the use of force. Yes there will be
engagement, yes there will be diplomacy, but there
must be consequences - when those things fail.
We choose to wage war. Thank you very much."
Now sing the song of hate
Or forever hold your peace
False flag deception - manufacturing consent
With or against
There's no exceptions
No excuse
Just peace and freedom

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
No Surprises

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
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.
