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.
Pack your bags, baby
We have to go back, let's go
It's summer paradise, oh-oh-oh-oh
Simple Plan, MKTO
My heart is sinking as I'm lifting up
Up above the clouds away from you
And I can't believe I'm leaving
Oh, I don't kno-kno-know what I'm gonna do
But someday, I will find my way back
To where your name is written in the sand
(Yeah, it was written in the sand)
'Cause I remember every sunset (that's right)
I remember every word you said (I remember)
We were never gonna say goodbye
Singing la-da-da-da-da
Tell me how to get back to (yeah)
Back to summer paradise with you
And I'll be there in a heartbeat (yeah, and we'll be there)
Oh-oh (yeah) (oh-oh, oh-oh)
I'll be there in a heartbeat (yeah, and we'll be there)
Oh-oh (oh-oh, oh-oh) (say what?)
My soul is broken, streets are frozen
I can't stop these feelings melting through
(I can't stop these feelings melting through)
And I'd give away a thousand days, oh
Just to have another one with you (with you, yeah)
Well, real life can wait (hey, if time stands still)
We're crashing like waves (crashing like waves)
We're playing in the sand (that's how I do it, girl)
Holding your hand ('cause I remember, I remember, like)
'Cause I remember every sunset (I remember)
I remember every word you said
We were never gonna say goodbye (don't cry)
Singing la-da-da-da-da
Tell me how to get back to
Back to summer paradise with you (summer paradise)
And I'll be there in a heartbeat (yeah, and we'll be there)
Oh-oh (oh-oh, oh-oh) (what?)
I'll be there in a heartbeat (yeah, and we'll be there)
Oh-oh
Yeah, love, ha (oh-oh, oh-oh)
If I could be with you then, baby
We could do what the heart wants
Smiling on a desert island
Baby, let's get so lost (so lost)
Beads are in the heartbeat
Kiss realities goodbye (goodbye)
Girl, you get me high
Underneath the palm trees in the sky
That's fly
Like every day's a holiday, a summer paradise
I'm smashing down the highway
Following the stars for light
A Simple Plan for life is what you make it
The memories of you and me are ours
For the taking (ours for the taking)
Someday, I will find my way back
To where your name is written in the sand
(It's written in the sand)
(We'll be forever, baby)
'Cause I remember every sunset (I remember)
I remember every word you said
We were never gonna say goodbye (why say goodbye?)
Singing la-da-da-da-da
Tell me how to get back to (how to get back)
Back to summer paradise with you
And I'll be there in a heartbeat
I remember when we first kissed (woo)
And how I didn't wanna leave your lips
And how I've never ever felt so high (so high)
Singing la-da-da-da-da
Tell me how to get back to (yeah)
Back to summer paradise with you (hey)
And I'll be there in a heartbeat (yeah, and we'll be there)
Oh-oh (yeah) (oh-oh, oh-oh)
And I'll be there in a heartbeat (yeah, and we'll be there)
Oh-oh (oh-oh, oh-oh) (summer paradise, baby)
I'll be there in a heartbeat (believe that)
We have to go back, let's go
It's summer paradise, oh-oh-oh-oh
Simple Plan, MKTO
My heart is sinking as I'm lifting up
Up above the clouds away from you
And I can't believe I'm leaving
Oh, I don't kno-kno-know what I'm gonna do

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

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.
So the lyrics with a (?) next to them I was just wondering what in the shit of tits he was saying. I did my best, but it's clearly incorrect.
