This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Destiny, destiny protect me from the world
Destiny, hold my hand, protect me from the world
Here we are, with our running and confusion
And I don't see no confusion anywhere
And if the world does turn
And if London burns
I'll be standing on the beach with my guitar
I want to be in a band
When I get to heaven
Anyone can play guitar and they won't be a nothing anymore
Grow my hair, grow my hair I am Jim Morrison
Grow my hair, I want to be want to be want to be Jim Morrison
Here we are, with our running and confusion
And I don't see no confusion anywhere
As if the world does turn
And if London burns
I'll be standing on the beach with my guitar
I want to be in a band
When I get to heaven
Anyone can play guitar and they won't be a nothing anymore
Destiny, hold my hand, protect me from the world
Here we are, with our running and confusion
And I don't see no confusion anywhere
And if the world does turn
And if London burns
I'll be standing on the beach with my guitar
I want to be in a band
When I get to heaven
Anyone can play guitar and they won't be a nothing anymore
Grow my hair, grow my hair I am Jim Morrison
Grow my hair, I want to be want to be want to be Jim Morrison
Here we are, with our running and confusion
And I don't see no confusion anywhere
As if the world does turn
And if London burns
I'll be standing on the beach with my guitar
I want to be in a band
When I get to heaven
Anyone can play guitar and they won't be a nothing anymore

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
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.
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield

I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
I don't want to be Jim Morrison. I think Thom is being sarcastic, like in 'The Bends'...they asked if he really wished it was the 60's, and he told them he didn't at all, said it was a joke. Jim Morrison was a vapid poet who was made into an idol because of good looks and poetry that was mostly LSD induced...and it wasn't good at all.
i kind of get the vibe that this song isn't in seriousness. i kind of get the vibe he's saying that it's sickening how many people think their god's solitary gift to music, while playing stairway to heaven on their guitars devoid of any talent. in addition to which, he's also mocking the rockstar dream. "grow my hair.. i wanna be jim morrisson." he's pretty much making fun of people who try way too hard and still completely fucking suck.
ah, here we go:
this is from dazedkid- "I don't want to be Jim Morrison. I think Thom is being sarcastic, like in 'The Bends'...they asked if he really wished it was the 60's, and he told them he didn't at all, said it was a joke.

yes, thank you. i agree.
Ahh right i love this song!!! Meaning wise i'm not sure if people know about this but before jim morrison was in the doors there was a band called Rick and the Ravens there was 6 of them and one night one member left. They had a gig due that night and was told they could only play if they had six people! So they called on jim (who can't play the guitar) to stand around and pretend to play so they could do the gig! So thats my view where this song came from!!! Interpret this story however you wish but keep loving radiohead!!!
Peace and Love Soybn
In this song frontman Thom Yorke heaps scorn on desperate wannabes who seek validation via rock stardom. According to Q magazine April 2008 everyone in the studio, from band to catering staff was roped in to play guitar. The track was then cut up and added to the arrangement. Yorke got the idea for the famous line "I wanna be Jim Morrison" after seeing Oliver Stone\'s movie The Doors. The line is meant to convey Yorke\'s dissatisfaction with the mythical status Morrison is given. This was made clear in the band\'s appearance at the MTV Beach House, where they played this song, and Yorke sang, "Maybe if I grow my hair I can become Jim Morrison," before shouting "Fat! Ugly! Dead!" The band\'s lead guitarist Jonny Greenwood played guitar with a paintbrush on this song. Jonny Greenwood has said "I never listened to guitar playing in any band, ever, I still don\'t, really. Worshiping guitarists is all buying guitar magazines. Anybody can play guitar, but writing songs is a far harder challenge. I\'d rather idolize someone like Elvis Costello than I would Steve Vai."
THat's wierd I thought stuff got taken goe what down the what put back up again, id I xcrash qith the qwords that eqousl neaini ghhtt atime? I am so fafrai fto write it tyou think correct, it bad thing, I writr it bad incorrect, ;(P~

i love this song.... "i wanna be wanna be wanna be jim morrison"... doesnt everyone?...and if you dont know who he is, honestly, shoot yourself
thats the best part ilya
the line, "destiny protect me from the world" is really clever. it would be easy to claim that nothing you can do is wrong cos its destined to happen, and therefore feel that your actions have no consequences that you are really responsble for. the line implies that this would be wrong, because it would be shielding yourself from real life.
hey ramthar! why don't you shutup!
ah!
