In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
Someday,
Tomorrow will come.
Though I'm not afraid of today,
That's for sure.
You laughed at me,
For the last time.
You've got to understand,
It just wasn't in the plan.
To me, your life has ended,
When I said goodbye to you.
Ah ha ha, you laughed at me,
For the last time.
Now there's nothing left,
Tired of playing games.
Your mind is lost,
In a world that wasn't made for you,
Though I feel the same way, too
I still got things to do.
Tomorrow will come.
Though I'm not afraid of today,
That's for sure.
You laughed at me,
For the last time.
You've got to understand,
It just wasn't in the plan.
To me, your life has ended,
When I said goodbye to you.
Ah ha ha, you laughed at me,
For the last time.
Now there's nothing left,
Tired of playing games.
Your mind is lost,
In a world that wasn't made for you,
Though I feel the same way, too
I still got things to do.

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.

The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
Vastly beautiful, extremely underrated song. Since I'm probably going to be the only one posting here, I'll present my interpretation of this somewhat cryptic piece...
This person condemns his friend or breaks up with a significant other for not having a meaningful life or goals and playing games. (It just wasn't in the plan--Your mind is lost, In a world that wasn't made for you--tired of playing games, laughed at me last time etc.)
The person feels similarly about his life having little meaning, but thinks he can carry on (I still got some things to do)
The only question now is, whether this person will pursue these shreds of goals or meaning now, because he's certainly (not afraid of today), or will he put it off in hopes of discovering new, better opportunities? (Someday, tomorrow will come) Kind of like an indecisiveness due to feelings of hopelessness.
Anyway hope this gives whoever may read this some incite. I certainly hope someone else besides me reads this and appreciates the Grape as much as I do! Peace.
