Chorus intro:

Free to live free to love, free to get up
Free to get out and get up and move on, I’m
Free to live free to love free to get up
Free to get out and get up and move on
From all the pain, all the times, I ever cried
For those who spoke lies I’m gonna make it
From all the days, all the rage I felt inside
I know I’m still alive not forsaken

Verse I
I used to want it so bad, I was so mad
Why can’t I have a life like he has, autographs
Record tracks tour the globe and rap
It was a dream that seemed out of my grasp or wouldn’t last
Months passed, spent cash, all that I had
Had to borrow just to stay at my pad, and no gas
When dreams turn bitter and I know I’m not a quitter
I repaint the picture and start with something clearer
I know what it’s like yo, to work so hard, watch it fall apart
After leaving your job
God’s got your back it’s free at no charge
Speak I’m free and believe with your heart

Chorus:

Free to live free to love, free to get up
Free to get out and get up and move on, I’m
Free to live free to love free to get up
Free to get out and get up and move on
From all the pain, all the times, I ever cried
For those who spoke lies I’m gonna make it
From all the days, all the rage I felt inside
I know I’m still alive not forsaken
Verse II

My road was long I choked and coughed
I froze and lost, I brushed it off
I wrote to God, Hear me
I got a problem here, can’t you see I’m sinking
I’m shrinking, I’m tripping, slipping, searching for some wisdom
Since time is ticking I’ve been thinking I’m a sleeping victim
Incline my ear listen I was blind I’m here to switch it
This is when I call to you I’m crawling balling out
Falling up to walk with you I’m here to put it down
Anything I don’t know, download to my soul
Let me be free so I can free those in pot wholes
Let me sleep breezy like the beaches in Taho
Helped me see clearly you perform the impossible

Chorus Repeats

Verse III
I’ve been on and off, searching for a better job
Hip hop gave me an out let to set it off
My God saves I’m free to just sing a song
I walk straight to goals as if my team won
Like the pentagon free to drop a bigger bomb
Figured my sisters and brothers they need a leader son
Teeter tottered not wanting to bother
Children need a father not just payment with dollars
Home of the brave were known to rescue and save
In a moment we change, we can’t settle for slave
Hold to the dream go big or go home
Freedoms in the heart mind, body & soul

Chorus Repeats

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.
