This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
This could last us all a lifetime
Limbs intact, untouched
On the screen of a video tape
Confined to bedposts
We wait as lepers
Upheld at knife's reach
We covet all the status quo
This syringe will take a lifespan
It's filled with bait and tackle
Try and catch us if you can
[Chorus:]
Sacrifice on railroad tracks
Freight train coming [Repeat: x2]
Unconscious tied and gagged
Freight train coming [Repeat: x2]
Sacrifice on railroad tracks
Freight train coming [Repeat: x2]
Meet us at the corner
Of fifth and Pontiac
Make sure that no one else is with you
If you wish to see them alive again
Then humor me with this request
Humor me with this request
In basements we will hide
Amnesia in our alibis
[Chorus]
Sacrifice on railroad tracks
Freight train coming [Repeat: x2]
Unconscious tied and gagged
Freight train coming [Repeat: x2]
Sacrifice on railroad tracks
Freight train coming [Repeat: x2]
They kept a close eye, on your get well incentive [Repeat: x2]
[Chorus x2]
Sacrifice on railroad tracks
Freight train coming [Repeat: x2]
Unconscious tied and gagged
Freight train coming [Repeat: x2]
Sacrifice on railroad tracks
Freight train coming [Repeat: x2]
Limbs intact, untouched
On the screen of a video tape
Confined to bedposts
We wait as lepers
Upheld at knife's reach
We covet all the status quo
This syringe will take a lifespan
It's filled with bait and tackle
Try and catch us if you can
[Chorus:]
Sacrifice on railroad tracks
Freight train coming [Repeat: x2]
Unconscious tied and gagged
Freight train coming [Repeat: x2]
Sacrifice on railroad tracks
Freight train coming [Repeat: x2]
Meet us at the corner
Of fifth and Pontiac
Make sure that no one else is with you
If you wish to see them alive again
Then humor me with this request
Humor me with this request
In basements we will hide
Amnesia in our alibis
[Chorus]
Sacrifice on railroad tracks
Freight train coming [Repeat: x2]
Unconscious tied and gagged
Freight train coming [Repeat: x2]
Sacrifice on railroad tracks
Freight train coming [Repeat: x2]
They kept a close eye, on your get well incentive [Repeat: x2]
[Chorus x2]
Sacrifice on railroad tracks
Freight train coming [Repeat: x2]
Unconscious tied and gagged
Freight train coming [Repeat: x2]
Sacrifice on railroad tracks
Freight train coming [Repeat: x2]

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.

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
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.
whoa there, are you sure, einstein? don't think TOO hard about it, now.
Yeah but also drugs - 'This syringe will take a lifespan It's filled with bait and tackle Try and catch us if you can'.
I always thought it said "at leisure in our alibis" which to me sounds better and makes more sense IMO "/
I did too.
The meaning of the song is totally clear. He is obviously talking about a kidnapping and a ransom. the beginning of the song totally gives it away. if you have the cd youll know what i mean.
this song seems to be about kidnappers or kidnapping, at the beginning of the song there is a ransom phone call, and the lyrics "Make sure that no one else is with you If you wish to see them alive again" and "Sacrifice on railroad tracks Freight train coming" are dead give-aways.
OK u guys seriously listen up, ATD-I uses imagery. So it SEEMS to be about kidnapping, most likely a person, now figure out wut they are kidnapping by arranging the words in simpler phrases. Just like i did with quarantined. ATD-I always has deeper meaning.
They said in an interview... they paist a bunch of Jim's poetry together... and create lyrics.. . just a thought.... i think this song is about, drug dealing... and the life of people assoicated..
a drug habit can hold someone captive in far more severe ways than a kidnapping....think about it. It feels like......
is that Iggy Pop speaking at the start - see his name is on the cd inlay card but he doesn't sing on any songs...
he sings on the song rolodex propaganda
thats him in the opening, you know the hyena
iggy pop sings on rolodex propaganda, and yes that is him at the beginning.
