He snuck into the city
The night it had come early
She always used to say
Life's a dirty business
So why not do it while
The world's in bed
The world's in bed
The world's in bed
The world's in bed
And there's a fake
Part of me that comes off
So you can read
I was made
By the Taiwanese in Taiwan
But they don't like that much cause it's called Formosa
He snuck into the city
The dawn it had come early
She always used to say
Life's a dirty business
So just be a prick and do it while
The world's awake
The world's awake
And there's a fake
Part of me that comes off
So you can read
I was made
By the Taiwanese in Taiwan
But they don't like that
Like that, like that, like that,
Like that, like that, like that, like that
Well, they don't like that much cause it's called Formosa
The night it had come early
She always used to say
Life's a dirty business
So why not do it while
The world's in bed
The world's in bed
The world's in bed
The world's in bed
And there's a fake
Part of me that comes off
So you can read
I was made
By the Taiwanese in Taiwan
But they don't like that much cause it's called Formosa
He snuck into the city
The dawn it had come early
She always used to say
Life's a dirty business
So just be a prick and do it while
The world's awake
The world's awake
And there's a fake
Part of me that comes off
So you can read
I was made
By the Taiwanese in Taiwan
But they don't like that
Like that, like that, like that,
Like that, like that, like that, like that
Well, they don't like that much cause it's called Formosa

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.

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.
Prostitution maybe?
I think this song shows, in a microcosm, the only two ways of living life: by night or by day. Day and night may both just be metaphors for good and bad, social or anti-social, or maybe even lover or hater of the 21st century. I would choose to say though that if you did not liek the way the world is then it would not be any better at night than it would be during the day. Maybe.
