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.
Oh yeah, yeah…
Open up your heart, what do you feel
Open up your heart, what do you feel… is real
The big bang may be a million years away

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”

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

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.
1-Open up your heart what do you see is real; You feel in some way there is something wrong about the way we live on earth
We are at the bottom of the pyramid, controled and brain washed by the richest families in the world who owns 99% of all the money on the planet.
2-The big bang maybe a million years away.. But i can't think of a better time to say; world hold on
This means something is about to happen very soon.... Open you heart be pure and give love
3-Look inside, you’ll find a deeper love The kind that only comes from high above.
We are at level 3 of self consciousness... Above level 4 there is no hate, cupidity or any vices... We had help and we will have help again from higher consciousness being throughout the universe to help us getting rid of the evil inside us and achieve an higher state of self consciousness. Jesus was an being with a highest state of self consciousness and he came and suffered for us to help us save our civilisation and to show us the right way.
4-You will have to answer to the children of the sky;
This is a reference to the jugement day... The children of the sky are the higher state of consciousness beings... When that day come i strongly suggest you to pray... Ask the gods to relief you from your sins and b grateful to Jesus that decided to suffer and die for you. Love Jesus and love god. Love every being... Respect nature and learn how to love the one you hate.
5- If you meet you inner child don' cry... Tell him everything is gonna be alright.
Your inner child is the pure you... Wheb you were born you were a pure being... Before being brainwashed by your scociety you only had good in you... You have to find that pure you... That little child is still inside of you.. Pure... Bring him back... Once you open your eyes.. Don't be afraid... You have nothing to fear because everything.. Is gonna be... Allright.
this was my jam all summer. its so addictive. and it means what it says, live it up while you're alive!
Instead of wonder... it should be "one day"
Great song, surprised there hasn't been more discussion! Great positivity, and makes you move your butt.
