You wake up, with an empty hand
You never had a choice
Of where your life began
Where you sleep
Is covered by the stars
'Cause you don’t have a home
Where are you going? Where will you go?

As you run, run, run, run, run
Looking for something that is gone
Blinded by the lies that you don’t see
You're not alone
What people always say you don’t have to be
Run, run, run
Where are you going to?
Turn, turn, turn
The truth is calling you
Let me hear you say
Oh, let me hear you say now
Love is on the way

I wake up to reality
And now it’s calling me
To be a kind of hope
You’re looking for
But I am here
And you're so far away
There's no more time to waste
No longer waiting I am ready to go, oh

As you run, run, run, run, run
Looking for something that is gone
Blinded by the lies that you don’t see
You're not alone
What people always say you don’t have to be
Run, run, run
Where are you going to?
Turn, turn, turn
The truth is calling you
Let me hear you say
Oh, let me hear you say now
Love is on the way

Love is on the way

Run, run, run, run, run
Looking for something that is gone
Blinded by the lies that you don’t see
You're not alone
What people always say you don’t have to be
You don't have to be
Run, run, run
Where are you going to?
Turn, turn, turn
The truth is calling you
Let me hear you say
Oh let me hear you say now
Love is on the way

Run, run, run, run, run
Run, run, run, run, run

Yeah! Love is on the way

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.
