This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
Moments lost searching for a dream that's real
From my heart I'd give it all away just to know
Drifting away
In truth revealed
With perfect order life repeating endlessly
Light streaming from below
This life is reborn
From the shadow to the light
Moving through the time
It's a cycle that repeats
Now
Forever
Don't touch the spinning wheel
Risking the progression just for a little taste
But it's so natural
Call it human if you wish to save face
Losing control
Go with the flow
Get swept in the undertow
Where do we go
You ask in simple question
Let me show you
Give me your hand and we shall fly
Moments lost searching for a dream that's real
From my heart I'd give it all away just to know
Holding with every answer sealed.
The path is hollowed, immortality we seek.
Light streaming from below, this life is reborn.
From the shadow to the light
Moving through the time
It's a cycle that repeats
Seeing all from infant eyes
Moving all through me
It's a cycle that repeats
Where do we go
You ask in simple question
Let me show you
Give me your hand and we shall fly
Into better days from dreams
From my heart I'd give it all away just to know
Drifting away
In truth revealed
With perfect order life repeating endlessly
Light streaming from below
This life is reborn
From the shadow to the light
Moving through the time
It's a cycle that repeats
Now
Forever
Don't touch the spinning wheel
Risking the progression just for a little taste
But it's so natural
Call it human if you wish to save face
Losing control
Go with the flow
Get swept in the undertow
Where do we go
You ask in simple question
Let me show you
Give me your hand and we shall fly
Moments lost searching for a dream that's real
From my heart I'd give it all away just to know
Holding with every answer sealed.
The path is hollowed, immortality we seek.
Light streaming from below, this life is reborn.
From the shadow to the light
Moving through the time
It's a cycle that repeats
Seeing all from infant eyes
Moving all through me
It's a cycle that repeats
Where do we go
You ask in simple question
Let me show you
Give me your hand and we shall fly
Into better days from dreams

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.

Intep 1:
Moments lost searching for a dream that's real From my heart I'd give it all away just to know
This is talking about the time we waste waiting for a "dream" to become real; when in reality we should be making your most intense dreams come to fruition through spiritual energy and the etheric body.
Intep 2:
The "drifting away" is the feeling you get from spiritual attunement through epiphanies.. from the "in truth revealed". "with perfect order, life repeating endlessly" describes how nature's cycles are 99.9% perfect and can survive potentially endless more generations than humans can "light streaming from below, this life is reborn" the earth's (or gaia's) electromagnetic and spiritual energy growing stronger and flowing up through the base chakra of every human being that is open to it; unlocking our full brain power, control of adrenal glands, and heightened spiritual awareness.
Intep 3:
"From the shadow to the light, moving through time; its a cycle that repeats" describes basis of our eternal duality of light and dark as we move through time; the cycle repeats.
I really like what lawlsauce said about this part in particular; couldn't have interpreted it better myself :)

Don't touch the spinning wheel" - A command from the rest of the world not to try to disturb the coma of ignorance of what is happening with the world.
"Risking all of progression just for a little taste, but its so natural" - To try what's it's like to live a easy but meaningless life. It's not what you want but everyone else does it, so why not?
"Call it human if you wish to save face" - To deny what is happening to save yourself from being an outcast.
"Losing control Go with the flow Get swept in the undertow" - Trying to be yourself, but failing due to others telling you that you can't be yourself, you have to be like everyone else.
Intep 4:
This part reflects the outcome of the first two interpretations "where do we go, you ask in simple question" going back to the roots of the simple and natural and mundane. "let me show you, give me your hand and we shall fly" refers back to mastering the brain power and adrenal glands, spiritually, metaphysically, electromagnetically, reverse the polarity between your body and the earth and create anti-gravity.
