In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
Look, I know the supernatural
Is something that isn't supposed to happen
But it does happen
Yeah, Jesus lived his life in a cheap hotel
On the edge of Route 66, yeah
He lived a dark and twisted life
And he came right back just to do it again
Eye for and eye and a tooth for a truth
I ain't never seen a demon warp dealin'
A ring-a-ding rhythm or jukebox racket
My mind can't clutch the feeling, yeah
Devil man, devil man, calling devil man
Running in my head, yeah
Devil man, devil man, calling devil man
Running in my head, yeah
Hell hounds lead at the cowardly kings
And carry souls across the river Styx, yeah
They see no evil and feel no pain
Sucking juice from a fallen angel
I dreamed I was a supernova fucker nitro
Burning and fuel injection
Feed the gods a strychnine soul
A motherfucker of invention
Devil man, devil man, calling devil man
Running in my head, yeah
Devil man, devil man, calling devil man
Running in my head, yeah
Insipientia corde suo, non es deus
Non esta vita qui adorem, non es usque ad unum
Es excommunicatus, ex unione fidelium
It is not heresy, and I will not recant
Yeah, inbreed the witches and worship the dogs
Deformed and fucking lazy
Damn yourself and choke on my name
I'd love to love ya baby
Dead ringer rats swinging in the trees
Immaculate conception, bury me an angel
God I need some inspiration
Yeah
Devil man, devil man, calling devil man
Running in my head, yeah
Devil man, devil man, calling devil man
Running in my head, yeah
Is something that isn't supposed to happen
But it does happen
Yeah, Jesus lived his life in a cheap hotel
On the edge of Route 66, yeah
He lived a dark and twisted life
And he came right back just to do it again
Eye for and eye and a tooth for a truth
I ain't never seen a demon warp dealin'
A ring-a-ding rhythm or jukebox racket
My mind can't clutch the feeling, yeah
Devil man, devil man, calling devil man
Running in my head, yeah
Devil man, devil man, calling devil man
Running in my head, yeah
Hell hounds lead at the cowardly kings
And carry souls across the river Styx, yeah
They see no evil and feel no pain
Sucking juice from a fallen angel
I dreamed I was a supernova fucker nitro
Burning and fuel injection
Feed the gods a strychnine soul
A motherfucker of invention
Devil man, devil man, calling devil man
Running in my head, yeah
Devil man, devil man, calling devil man
Running in my head, yeah
Insipientia corde suo, non es deus
Non esta vita qui adorem, non es usque ad unum
Es excommunicatus, ex unione fidelium
It is not heresy, and I will not recant
Yeah, inbreed the witches and worship the dogs
Deformed and fucking lazy
Damn yourself and choke on my name
I'd love to love ya baby
Dead ringer rats swinging in the trees
Immaculate conception, bury me an angel
God I need some inspiration
Yeah
Devil man, devil man, calling devil man
Running in my head, yeah
Devil man, devil man, calling devil man
Running in my head, yeah

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.
