This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
All the cool kids keep enthusiasm rationed
Right down to the last explosive ounce,
But I'd rather indulge my many passions
Even if my squaritude's a little too pronounced.
Perhaps I do not strike you as a geek
Without the horn-rimmed glasses and knee-high argyle socks,
But nerdery is more than wardrobe deep
And I'm a nerd down in my heart and that's where nerdhood rocks.
I'm better aquainted than a good girl aught to be
With Aragorn and Yo-Saf-Bridge and Warf and HAL and Han,
But you don't really know me and my culture don't control me
So don't you pigeonhole me 'cause my phaser's set to stun!
I have been a nerd since long before I could have heard
That bookish girls should look and act a certain way,
And I'll still be a geek when I am utterly antique
Because I do not care what normal people say.
My superpower's draining fun from parties,
But if I am a misfit then I'm in good company
With Auden, Austen, Hawking, Galileo, and Van Gogh,
And countless other weirdos whom you really ought to know.
So stow your expectations: no, I won't fix your PC,
And I don't mind being underrated or ignored.
The world is much too interesting to entertain ennui
And I won't ever play it cool so I won't ever once be bored.
Oh, I have been a nerd since before anyone heard
That pale and scrawny was the latest fashion trend,
And I'll still be a geek after nobody thinks it's chic
Because I don't require approval in the end
In aught-four, D-Kwon's Dance Grooves swept the country,
And suddenly old moon boots were Italian haute couture.
TIME magazine reported that our time had finally come.
I guess they didn't know that we already run the world!
I have been a nerd since my first five syllable word,
And no TV series or movie changes that.
And I'll still be a geek now "Vote for Pedro"'s so last week.
I do not care whether Milan endorses plaid.
I have been a nerd since long before anyone heard
That pale and scrawny was the latest fashion trend,
And I'll still be a geek after nobody thinks it's chic
Because I don't require approval in the end.
I have been a nerd since long before anyone heard
That pale and scrawny was the latest fashion trend.
And I'll still be a geek after nobody thinks it's chic.
You will find that I have nothing to defend.
No, I don't require approval in the end…

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
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.
