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.
It is ever gonna come
I want to believe but I can't really see
'Cause I'm afraid to even lift my head up
If I look for you are you gonna be gone
I want to jump ahead and just run, so it'll be done
I'm stuck, I can't get up
I want to but I can't stop the chase
Want to win the race
I know, it's all a show
And you promise me
You keep telling me
Tomorrow is close, but will it ever come
And you promise me
You keep telling me
Tomorrow is close, but will it ever come
I never thought it'd be more than this
But you promised me and unfortunatley
I bought it completely although
After I wake up I'm sure that I'll know
That today was just the rest of my life
I'm not gonna die sitting there hoping that I
Can someday come and claim the ring
It's not anything I know or want to become
And you promise me
You keep telling me
Tomorrow is close but I know it will never come
And you promise me
You keep telling me
Tomorrow is close but I know it will never come
Will tomorrow ever come
Will tomorrow ever come
Will tomorrow come, I just want to know
Will I be happy tomorrow, happy tomorrow, happy tomorrow
I want to know if I've gotta reason
To keep hanging on when I want to let go
Or is it just part of a much bigger show
'Cause I'm not gonna just lay down
While I slowly drown
I never agreed to do that
And I'm not gonna hold my breath
'Till there's nothing left
I'd start laughing anyway
And you promise me
You keep telling me
Tomorrow is close but I know it will never come
And you promise me
You keep telling me
Tomorrow is close but I know it will never come
Will tomorrow ever come
Will tomorrow ever come
Will tomorrow come, I just want to know
Will I be happy tomorrow, happy tomorrow, happy tomorrow
I want to believe but I can't really see
'Cause I'm afraid to even lift my head up
If I look for you are you gonna be gone
I want to jump ahead and just run, so it'll be done
I'm stuck, I can't get up
I want to but I can't stop the chase
Want to win the race
I know, it's all a show
And you promise me
You keep telling me
Tomorrow is close, but will it ever come
And you promise me
You keep telling me
Tomorrow is close, but will it ever come
I never thought it'd be more than this
But you promised me and unfortunatley
I bought it completely although
After I wake up I'm sure that I'll know
That today was just the rest of my life
I'm not gonna die sitting there hoping that I
Can someday come and claim the ring
It's not anything I know or want to become
And you promise me
You keep telling me
Tomorrow is close but I know it will never come
And you promise me
You keep telling me
Tomorrow is close but I know it will never come
Will tomorrow ever come
Will tomorrow ever come
Will tomorrow come, I just want to know
Will I be happy tomorrow, happy tomorrow, happy tomorrow
I want to know if I've gotta reason
To keep hanging on when I want to let go
Or is it just part of a much bigger show
'Cause I'm not gonna just lay down
While I slowly drown
I never agreed to do that
And I'm not gonna hold my breath
'Till there's nothing left
I'd start laughing anyway
And you promise me
You keep telling me
Tomorrow is close but I know it will never come
And you promise me
You keep telling me
Tomorrow is close but I know it will never come
Will tomorrow ever come
Will tomorrow ever come
Will tomorrow come, I just want to know
Will I be happy tomorrow, happy tomorrow, happy tomorrow

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
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.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
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.
