This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
I'm in the sky when I'm on the floor
The world's a mess and you're my only cure
There's no time for me to act mature
The only words I know are "more, more" and "more"
No one to criticise me then
No one to criticise
No one to criticise me then
No one to criticise
There's no fear when I'm in my room
It's so clear and I know just what I want to do
All day bedroom dancing
To you I want to say
You're my thing
You teach me (x 4)
You only teach me wisely
...only show me why
I remember
I remember everything
I don't want to stop
I remember everything
The world's a mess and you're my only cure
There's no time for me to act mature
The only words I know are "more, more" and "more"
No one to criticise me then
No one to criticise
No one to criticise me then
No one to criticise
There's no fear when I'm in my room
It's so clear and I know just what I want to do
All day bedroom dancing
To you I want to say
You're my thing
You teach me (x 4)
You only teach me wisely
...only show me why
I remember
I remember everything
I don't want to stop
I remember everything

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri

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.

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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.
Okay! This is what Kathleen had to say about the song:
"I've always felt frustrated listening to a band and dancing, and there's some knucklehead who comes up and says, 'Oh, hey, I love how you dance,'" explains the 33-year-old Hanna, who's been the reigning feminist of the indie-rock scene since it exploded ten years ago. "I think, 'Did I ask for that because I was standing in front having such a good time?' And then, 'Maybe I'll stand in the back and dance,' or 'Maybe I'll stay home and listen to the record and dance in my room by myself.'... It's that sort of feeling that even in leisure time you're still on the clock and being looked at through the male gaze--to turn a little Feminist 101 phrase on you," she adds with a laugh.
thank you! That's the quote I was trying to find while everyone else spouted their mouths. Wow, she was 33 then? I think I actually remember reading that quote somewhere when it was fairly fresh (or whatever lol). If she's 39 or 40 now... then 2003, that wouldn't be off I don't think. I managed to see Le Tigre 4 times- once as an opener I think and I forget to who, and once at a festival thing (I don't remember what it was, but there were stages... almost positive unless I'm getting mixed up).<br /> <br /> Then I saw them two seperate times at a smaller theatre, and both were a blast. The last time I saw 'em they dropped confetti from the ceiling during deceptacon and they let some kids got up stage & dance (not sure if they were pre-selected from before the show or not- this venue form past experience isn't the most "user-friendly" or accessible to stage-diving and/or dancing, whereas some shows and smaller clubs I've been to it has happened spontaneously, most notably more than a handful of T(I)NC shows I went to- but they were definitely audiance members and from the crowd. Really memorable show because it was the last time I got to see 'em before they went on hiatus. I think I saw SK that yr put on an amazing show at a similarly-sized theatre, only much nicer and less of a dive + more floor room.<br /> <br /> <br /> But what I was going to say to everyone arguing over the drug/high/whatever debate- KH has written a lot in zines, articles, and spoken about this sort of thing in various interviews in the past. In Bikini Kill time when she had been putting out 'zines, one titled April Fools' day (I know that was only a few days ago, but I'm not kidding) dealt solely about addiction, ways to deal, etc. and a lot centered around her bouts w/ her own addictions. I'm in no way trying to slander her by stating this- infact the zine is one of the most inspiring reads I have had the pleasure to make it through (prolly 'cuz its only like, 30pgs. or so and a lot of lists & pointer-type pages, interviews, etc.) in awhile. I would recommend it to anyone who can find it cheaper than i did, since theyre all published in some libraries- i know a bigger one in ny for certain...<br />
