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”
Desalentada estás cuando te miras
Sientes que el tiempo que corre no da perdón
Y te carcome
Ya no es como el ayer
Cuando brillaba toda tu inocencia
Eras un puro buscador de placer, pureza que no sabe
Whoo
Cuando al fin la luz te llama
Abandonas tu palpitar
Cuando vuele con mis alas, volaré hacia ti
El corazón duerme ahora
Tú ya te vas y dejas solo aquí una memoria
Grabados del ayer que te recuerdan que algún día fuiste
Solo uno más de los que están aquí
Los prisioneros de la piel
Cuando al fin la luz te llama
Abandonas tu palpitar
Te asimilas con el viento
Y te llevas nuestro llanto
Cuando vuele con mis alas, volaré hacia ti
Cuando quede mi memoria
Cuando vuele con mis alas, volaré hacia ti
Sientes que el tiempo que corre no da perdón
Y te carcome
Ya no es como el ayer
Cuando brillaba toda tu inocencia
Eras un puro buscador de placer, pureza que no sabe
Whoo
Cuando al fin la luz te llama
Abandonas tu palpitar
Cuando vuele con mis alas, volaré hacia ti
El corazón duerme ahora
Tú ya te vas y dejas solo aquí una memoria
Grabados del ayer que te recuerdan que algún día fuiste
Solo uno más de los que están aquí
Los prisioneros de la piel
Cuando al fin la luz te llama
Abandonas tu palpitar
Te asimilas con el viento
Y te llevas nuestro llanto
Cuando vuele con mis alas, volaré hacia ti
Cuando quede mi memoria
Cuando vuele con mis alas, volaré hacia ti

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,
No Surprises

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.
