Radiohead – No Surprises Lyrics 17 years ago
northamericanscum i think your on the money there to be honest........
a lot of people are relating this song to suicide........i cant see how
i think it clearly is about

A heart that's full up like a landfill
A job that slowly kills you
Bruises that won't heal
You look so tired, unhappy( people leading unhappy lives in a daily routine )
Bring down the government(living lives as the governement has dictated)
They don't, they don't speak for us(deciding they have had enough)
I'll take the quiet life(ill choose my own way of living)
A handshake of carbon monoxide(a handshake of carbon monoxide - breathing in minimal doses of carbon monoxide thats in the air compared to a heavy load of it in the city)

No alarms and no surprises(quiet life brings no alarms and no surprises just self contentedness)
No alarms and no surprises
No alarms and no surprises

Silent
Silent

This is my final fit, my final belly-ache with(this is where ill live my life out, no alrms no surprises)
No alarms and no surprises
No alarms and no surprises
No alarms and no surprises, please

thats my thoughs anyways so i have to agree with northamericanslut

Radiohead – Paranoid Android Lyrics 17 years ago
i dont think there is any definitive meaning in this song, more of a collection of feelings and thoughts.

"Ambition makes you look pretty ugly
Kicking, squealing, Gucci little piggy"

i think refers to clubgoers,yuppies and general people who hide from reality behind materialstic , self possession, self status lifestyles.

"Rain down, rain down, come on rain down on me
From a great height, from a great height, height
Rain down, rain down, come on rain down on me
From a great height, from a great height, height "

someone who has led an un human life , hiding from reality, living behind shadows, but finally comes to realize what he has become and wants the rain from above to wash his sins away and cleanse his spirit

"When I am king you will be first against the wall
With your opinion which is of no consequence at all
What's that, what's that?"

maybe refers to people who have put him down through life and told him he wasn going to be anything and he wasn going to succeed

On the other hand thats only what i think, what i relate to. I think different people will find different meanings and somewhat personally relate to the lyrics and so come the conlusion on what they think the lyrics mean.
Really interesting though looking at other peoples analogies.
