This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
He has agreed
To take me
To the Ice Hotel from the magazine
What we will need
Is a gleaming key
Made of ice as well
By the finest ice machine
It's there that no one will stare
At your jaws and your long fur
The claws in your fingers
It's in the past when the passersby laughed
At your strange way of speaking
Your batteries leaking
Oh no
Oh God no
They don't know
The New Zero
Uniforms worn
So leisurely
The reindeer skins
The privacy
How was he born?
He's asking me
Flapping his fins
Very impressively
It's there that no one will stare
At your jaws and your long fur
The claws in your fingers
It's in the past when the passersby laughed
At your strange way of speaking
Your batteries leaking
Oh no
Oh God no (He has agreed)
They don't know (To take me)
The New Zero (To the Ice Hotel)
I really don't care and neither does he
If this hotel melts into the sea
Polished and so rare, this way that we see
The coldness helps, it's our favorite remedy
It's there that no one will stare
At your jaws and your long fur
The claws in your fingers
It's in the past when the passersby laughed
At your strange way of speaking
Your batteries leaking
Oh no
Oh God no (He has agreed)
They don't know (To take me)
The New Zero (To the Ice Hotel)
To take me
To the Ice Hotel from the magazine
What we will need
Is a gleaming key
Made of ice as well
By the finest ice machine
It's there that no one will stare
At your jaws and your long fur
The claws in your fingers
It's in the past when the passersby laughed
At your strange way of speaking
Your batteries leaking
Oh no
Oh God no
They don't know
The New Zero
Uniforms worn
So leisurely
The reindeer skins
The privacy
How was he born?
He's asking me
Flapping his fins
Very impressively
It's there that no one will stare
At your jaws and your long fur
The claws in your fingers
It's in the past when the passersby laughed
At your strange way of speaking
Your batteries leaking
Oh no
Oh God no (He has agreed)
They don't know (To take me)
The New Zero (To the Ice Hotel)
I really don't care and neither does he
If this hotel melts into the sea
Polished and so rare, this way that we see

It's there that no one will stare
At your jaws and your long fur
The claws in your fingers

The New Zero (To the Ice Hotel)

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
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.

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,

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.
Magical

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Abominable snowman...robot? The leaky battery line has always perplexed me.
If you want to get a bit fanciful about the lyrics you could imagine the New Zero’s identity as her own or a lover’s negative, dark, or unattractive personality or selves. I would believe that because of the mention of (Your jaws and your long fur, the claws in your fingers) it would mean that people’s (passerby’s) view of them would of course be seen as different and ugly so they would be outcasts (Zeros). They would want to escape to the Ice Hotel, (What we will need is a gleaming key made of ice as well by the finest ice machine)the key could be a symbol of their hearts turned cold by a self generated machine so they no longer care of other’s views or judgments. Also, the Ice Hotel could be seen as a place where they could put down their guards without scrutiny (Uniforms worn so leisurely). In this cold and distant hearted place with others like themselves judgment is not passed on normally perceived physical or social deformities (Polished so rare this way that we see the coldness helps it’s our favorite remedy) they can finally accept their differences and themselves (New Zero).
I kind of thought it was about someone who is embarassed by their relationship, and she takes them to this hotel, and she can finally accept their together-ness there. I pretty much agree with 'clever_name'.
This song is so beautiful that it gives me the chills!!! ^__^ I'm surprised that there haven't been more comments on it. Well, I am pretty sure that it's about going to an Alaskan Ice Hotel (I saw something on one of these on Food Network while listening to this song!! What a coinkidink!) with an Abominable Snowman. (Yes, like from "Rudolph: The Rednosed Reindeer"...)
At recitals, Melora says it is a song about her incestuous affair with her abominable snowman son and the ice hotel they stayed at.
She once said that she had been listening to Smashing Pumpkin's "Zero" and decided she'd write a "zero" song of her own.
This one is about the ice hotels in Alaska. More complex than just that, but I think Melora is the only one who knows what the song means.

"At recitals, Melora says it is a song about her incestuous affair with her abominable snowman son and the ice hotel they stayed at."
Wha...?
freakishfae, just accept as is. no questions.
I actually did an interpretation of this whole cd for an english class, all the signs pointed to the fact that she had contact with Billy Corgan during this time period (the writing of the song)
I always thiught that Rasputina is not getting the appropriate attention, but on the other hand this is what make them so dark cabarette-ish and sharp. don't ever change.
