I'll be sitting on the left side,
You'll be sitting on the right
Dying to share our problems,
Make everything alright
Then I see a darkness,
You see the blinding light
Will Oldham's in the corner moaning
"Can't you write your own lines"

[Chorus]
If we don't know where we belong
It'll make no difference from where we started
Look out kid because here it comes
You're not the lucky ones

There's a dozen corpses on the left side,
I swear one's smiling at me
Compliments on your confessions baby,
Wow you really showed me
You think that you're full of conviction,
Really you're just trying to survive
Tie them up then spit them out
It's good to help the boy shine

[Chorus]

    i dunno why people like old stuff better, miby lyrics where a bit darker but this is so much more of a catchy rock sound, commercial sure? but thats not a bad thing? i hope it isnt just the scene kids knowing their band is making it big. cuz i hate that the new album is fantastic i look forward to buying it.

    Who cares if it's a more commercial sound - it's still a great sound. It's still one of my favourite Biffy songs.

    yeah, their older stuff was more complex (lyrically and with heavier riffs, screams etc...) I still prefer the old stuff but the new album is fantastic! Simon's vocals sound really heart-felt throughout.

    This song is nice.

    But the accoustic version they did for Kerrang! is absolutely phenomenal =) see:~ uk.youtube.com/watch

    this song is amazing - always get me going. their old sound is pretty much a mash up, that only sometimes works, whereas there new stuff is must slicker and together sounding

    A mash up? What are you on about? Their old stuff is some of the most amazing pieces of music ever created. Vertigo of Bliss IS a perfect album, mixing intricate riffs, beautiful harmonies and moments of utter madness to create brilliance.

    Puzzle, by contrast, is Biffy sounding like the Foo Fighters. They still sound good, and the songs are ok (better live), but it's just not what Biffy are.

    The lyrics too sadly, seemed to have been dumbed down slightly, with not a lot left to the imagination. At least Simon's literary influences still come through though.

    Haha, I can't believe it's taken me 2 years to spot the Bonnie Prince Billy reference here.

    Listening to this, it would seem that Simon agrees with Rodders. Pity - I hoped he had grown up enough to realise that you don't need to scream to make a point. Sorry Rodders, you're right - there are moments of brilliance, but not enough to make me buy any of the three previous albums.

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
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.

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.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.

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.
