Rising up against this wickedness
And unphased by your endless myths
Hands all around reach to slow him down
He's all about this sound

We aren't playing by your rules
We'll never play the fool
So, no, you cannot take
What's inside of me

All about the sound from way out
He's got the scars just to prove he's down
No apologies to confuse his brain
This argument is sustained

We aren't playing by your rules
We'll never play the fool
So, no, you cannot take
What's inside of me

We aren't playing by your rules
We'll never play the fool
So, no, you cannot take
What's inside of me

He's walking, non-stopping out of the shadows
Sounds of the new-he's got a look in his eye
There's something more than you're feeding him
He's not afraid to say, no no no

You're talking, non-stopping echoing voices
But nothing you said made a dent in my head
I'm hearing you fearing him 'cause he's not afraid
He's not about bowing down to what you say

You hate us 'cause we'll never go away
And like some sort of fungus we're growing every day
And our knuckles aren't dragging so I guess that leaves to say
Our message isn't stopping until you drag us all away

Hear the silent ignorant voices spew
"You're all a pack of disoriented youth"
He lives to see the day those voices end
But until then I'll send this
Off to you, off to you

You hate us 'cause we'll never go away
And like some sort of fungus we're growing every day
And our knuckles aren't dragging so I guess that leaves to say
Our message isn't stopping until you drag us all away

You hate us 'cause we'll never go away
And like some sort of fungus we're growing every day
And our knuckles aren't dragging so I guess that leaves to say
Our message isn't stopping until you drag us all 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”

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.
