I'm on a trip,
I can't get off,
I can't get over
I want it all, I want it all
Inside of you

I call you up
You're getting off I'm coming over

You're twenty one
I see your eyes you're barely sober
I hear your voice
You're calling out
From me to you
I pour a drink
You move in quick, you're moving forward

Then you said,
No, whoa
I'm never gonna be inside of you
And I said,
No, whoa
I'm never gonna see inside of you
Because, I know, I'm gonna fall
And you'll be waiting for it all
Because, I know, I know, I know
I can't get inside of you, inside of you.

This fragile game
It's like a train that's headed nowhere
It never stops
And I can't see the exit sign
We're headed North
I see the cliff we're getting closer

So don't say that you just want to run away
Replay all the things that I tried to say

I'm 21
So you're getting off
I'm coming over

Then you said,
No, whoa
I'm never gonna be inside of you
And I said,
No, whoa
I'm never gonna see inside of you
Because, I know, I'm gonna fall
And you'll be waiting for it all
Because, I know, I know, I know
I can't get inside of you, inside of you.

I'm on a trip, I can't get off,
I can't get over
I want it, I want it all
Inside of you

I call you up,
You're getting off, I'm coming over
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)

Noooo, whoa
I'm never gonna be inside of you
And I said,
No, whoa
I'm never gonna see inside of you
Because, I know, I'm gonna fall
Because, I know, I know
I can't get inside of you, inside of you.

I know, I'm gonna fall
And you'll be waiting for it all
Because, I know, I know, I know
I can't get inside of you, inside of you.

I'm on a trip, I can't get off,
I can't get over
I want it, I want it all
Inside of you

I call you up,
You're getting off, I'm coming over
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)

    i think this song is about how at first he was too young for her so she didn't want to be with him. which is why hes says i cant get inside of you. and then when she says hes 21 now and there's basically no excuse for them not to be together but shes still hesitant. lol idk I'm probably 100% wrong.

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.
