This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
They pull our strings, the animals
They blind, they breed the hate
Under their wing we're scientists
We swallow what they fake
For all you lonely boys
I will be president
In all you sons of men
I can be accident
Most fall in line, they do the dance
And salute the safest thing
Bought with their lives, cry and socialize
And throw all the beauty away
For all you lonely boys
I will be president
In all you sons of men
I can be accident
They blind, they breed the hate
Under their wing we're scientists
We swallow what they fake
For all you lonely boys
I will be president
In all you sons of men
I can be accident
Most fall in line, they do the dance
And salute the safest thing
Bought with their lives, cry and socialize
And throw all the beauty away
For all you lonely boys
I will be president
In all you sons of men
I can be accident

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”
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.
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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.
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.
it's definitely "fake", it makes more sense and it rhymes with "hate"
Could "Accident" be "Exedent" or "ascendant" ?
Ex´e`dent a. 1. Eating out; consuming.
as·cen·dant also as·cen·dent
Very good, President, listening to the song I never heard the word "accident", I always heard Exedent, which is similar to excess or excessive. It makes much more sense, he's saying he'll go to great efforts and extreme lengths for all the sons of man.
i cant stop listening to this song. its what has made me love IAMX. i love everything about it, no doubts.

this is the first I am x song I herd when I got this album and I loved it strait away.
hmm....i actually hear"We’re scientist- We swallow what they FAKE", not "think"...and I think his mouth moves like"fake", too...
I thought it was "fake" too !
i think it is about society being controlled and abused by politics " They pull our strings The animals They blind, they breed the hate...etc" .Generally the song could be all about it ,but when the chorus comes it makes me think about somebody who wants to be a guide for all those who are lost in life and do not agree with common points of view - these are those lonely boys. that someone is an accident to society, the society doesn't really understand him in every way
okay, english is not my mother tongue and i've never been to england or sg but i have a doubt about the "we're scientists" line. to me it actually sounds like "we sigh in tears" and this matches a bit better with "we swallow what they fake". do i make any sense?
"Must fall in line and do the dance and salute the safest pain. Bored with their lives." Is what I hear. And that's what it looks like when he sings it. : )
