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.
Don't lean on me too much
You don't really know me yet
I don't want you to fall over, you know?
You think that it's a sync, to get up in my ginch
And if you got the inch, then I'll treat you like a prince
I made a few comments, now your acting intense
I think I made you flinch, better give yourself a pinch
You think that it's a sync, to get up in my ginch
And if you got the inch, then I'll treat you like a prince
I made a few comments, now your acting intense
I think I made you flinch, better give yourself a pinch
Hey baby, your still in me
Hey baby, haunting me
Hey baby, your still in me
Hey baby, haunting me
Kisses, too sweet, I want to retreat
The touch is, so soft, I'm gonna get off
Kisses, too sweet, I want to retreat
The touch is, so soft, I'm gonna get off
You think that it's a synch, to get up in my ginch
And if you got the inch, then I'll treat you like a prince
I made a few comments, now your acting intense
I think I made you flinch, better give yourself a pinch
Hey baby, your still in me
Hey baby, haunting me
Hey baby, your still in me
Hey baby, haunting me
Kisses, too sweet, I want to retreat
The touch is, so soft, I'm gonna get off
Kisses, too sweet, I want to retreat
The touch is, so soft, I'm gonna get off
You don't really know me yet
I don't want you to fall over, you know?
You think that it's a sync, to get up in my ginch
And if you got the inch, then I'll treat you like a prince
I made a few comments, now your acting intense
I think I made you flinch, better give yourself a pinch
You think that it's a sync, to get up in my ginch
And if you got the inch, then I'll treat you like a prince
I made a few comments, now your acting intense
I think I made you flinch, better give yourself a pinch
Hey baby, your still in me
Hey baby, haunting me
Hey baby, your still in me
Hey baby, haunting me
Kisses, too sweet, I want to retreat
The touch is, so soft, I'm gonna get off
Kisses, too sweet, I want to retreat
The touch is, so soft, I'm gonna get off
You think that it's a synch, to get up in my ginch
And if you got the inch, then I'll treat you like a prince
I made a few comments, now your acting intense
I think I made you flinch, better give yourself a pinch
Hey baby, your still in me
Hey baby, haunting me
Hey baby, your still in me
Hey baby, haunting me
Kisses, too sweet, I want to retreat
The touch is, so soft, I'm gonna get off
Kisses, too sweet, I want to retreat
The touch is, so soft, I'm gonna get off

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.
Magical

i cant believe im the first to comment!! this is a wicked song, seedy as hell, like everything else i spose. i reckon its pretty self - explanatory. i like the beat behind "you think that its a synch" but i dont like the part "hey baby, your still in me" etc. the singing is too high and pansy like. otherwise the rest of the song is good.
