Hold up these words so holy and pure
Confused again, yeah, so absurd
You fall down in the pit of fire
You ripped it off, you fucking liar
This is a way, a way of life
This is your way, your way of life
Cut up inside what do you see?
A world of hate, just you and me
Forcing thoughts through your closed mind
You fight it off, just a waste of time
Sing through these words of sanctity
You write in blood the names of your conspiracy

Cutting and draining the thoughts of your minds
Words and eyes conform to the lies
They burnt out the sky for a fucking lie
They all win, suicide and strychnine in your mind
Suicide and strychnine in your minds
No hope for today, they burnt out tomorrow
They burnt out the sky for your fucking lie
You'll cry for today, no hope for tomorrow
They burnt out the sky with a fucking lie
You'll hope for today, they burn out tomorrow
They burnt out the sky with a fucking lie
No hope for today, they break your will
And take your soul to the grave, to the absolute black of your hearts
To the grave, to the absolute black of your hearts
To the grave, to the absolute black of your hearts

No Surprises
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.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
