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.
dreams lie shattered shards endure now the wraiths her mind possess
like shells of precious flowers dried out and hung with love
making eyes into frozen temples that stale you in her gaze
so pale so cold so beautiful if not clinically insane
now the decades pass unanswered and she prays with silent lips
sometimes she talks to angels when she has her little fits
but you must believe in something - sometime that something's real
sometimes our motivations are tied up in what we feel
so elegant her poetry falls from her pallid lips
she flows like icy roadways when the wheels start to slip
and if her course lays waste to this i pray away to your design
her minions shall dance your dreaming eyes and sing her fragile rhymes
now the decades pass unanswered and she prays with silent lips
sometimes she talks to angels when she has her little fits
but you must believe in something - sometime that something's real
sometimes our motivations are tied up in what we feel
Ave Maria
just give us something
but it's lost on deafened ears
Ave Maria
just give us something
to ears that cannot hear
now the decades pass unanswered and she prays with silent lips
sometimes she talks to angels when she has her little fits
but you must believe in something - sometime that something's real
sometimes our motivations are tied up in what we feel
Ave Maria
just give us something
but it's lost on deafened ears
Ave Maria
she's saying something
to ears that cannot hear
Ave Maria
just give us something
but it's lost on deafened ears
Ave Maria
if god is speaking
she's the only one who hears.
like shells of precious flowers dried out and hung with love

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.
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.
Page
Ed Sheeran
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.
This is one of those really great songs that just draws you in and makes you feel everything. The Cruxshadows are like that... a really great band.
Love this song, there's a mistake in the lyrics though, and I'm reading direct from the book so its not just me mis-hearing things ;)
