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”
Hello
Nice to meet you.
You are very cute.
Rubber man.
I cant help my self
I'm in love,
And when i get back from out of space
I'm gonna punch him in his face
If he's the moon
Then I'm eclipsed
I'm so lunar yeah when I get to him
I'll run him over with my rocket ship.
My eyeliner runs in constellations
For you dear
If only i could reboot my mechanical heart
I'd think clear
Baby I'm feeling so out of this world,
Baby with your I'm a different girl
Ohhh, ohhh you're my future love.
Baby could we make a home in the stars
Baby somewhere in a galaxy far
Ohh, ohh you're my future love
Ohhhh, I want your fu-fu-fu-fu future love
I want your fu-fu-fu-fu future love,
Would you be my fu-fu-fu-fu future love
I want your fu-fu-fu-fu future love
Would you be my fu-fu-fu future man
I wanna fu- fuck you as hard as I can
Would you be in my fu- future plans
i want a fu-fu-fu future man.
I've been working in engineering
All our chemistries and our situations
Working out our sex equations,
And I know I'm no Nostradamus, yeah
Cause my hair is blond but my heart's brunette
If I'm not on you then at least I'm honest
My mascara runs in constellations
For you dear, my dear
If only I could outer space my brain
For a minute
I'd think clear (I love you so much)
Baby I'm feeling so out of this world,
Baby with your I'm a different girl
Ohhh, ohhh you're my future love.
Baby could we make a home in the stars
Baby somewhere in a galaxy far
Ohh, ohh you're my future love
Ohhhh, I want your fu-fu-fu-fu future love
I want your fu-fu-fu-fu future love,
Would you be my fu-fu-fu-fu future love
I want your fu-fu-fu-fu future love
Would you be my fu-fu-fu future man
I wanna fu- fuck you as hard as I can
Would you be in my fu- future plans
i want a fu-fu-fu future man.
If you could only take me in
To a place we've never been
He is so unreal yeah! He's a mannequin
A synthetic, plastic, rubber man
And I'm relying on, on a shooting star
To get to you my future love ah ah
He's my rubber hunk, my mechanic guy
And I'm stuck in his metal rubber ey-ey-ey-eyes!
Rubber ey-ey-ey-eyes! my future guy
Parumpumpumpumpumpumpum.
Nice to meet 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.

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,

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.
Love this song so much.
