Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
Ciggaretes and lonely nights
My stomach burns with butterflies
This emptyness fells like a midnight city sky
I just want to feel your skin
Trace every line and back again
And breath in your every breath just like it was my own
whoaaaaaaaaaa
I'm missing you tonight
And every second cuts just like a kife whoa whooooaaaaaaaaaa
I'm missing you tonight
ohhhhhhaaaa ohhhhhhaaaa
ciggarettes and lonely nights
The smoke stings my sleepless eyes
I squint the world into a thousand blinding lights my shaking hands hold photographs
That bring so many memories back
They're torn and crinkled from all theses nights they had to last
ohhhhhh whoaaaaaa
I'm missing you tonight
And every second cuts just like a knife whoa
Whoooaaaaa
I'm missing you tonight
Tell me what to do
Cause I just can't make it through
Another night without you here
When every seconds feels just like a year
ohhhhhhhhhh
is it fine to feel this way
Every hour in these days
Every minute every second
Every sunrise every sunset
whoaaaaaa
I'm missing you tonight
And every second cuts just like a knife
Whoooaaaaa
I'm missing you tonight
Tell me what to
Cause I just can't make it through
Another night without you here
Every second feels just like a year
My stomach burns with butterflies
This emptyness fells like a midnight city sky
I just want to feel your skin
Trace every line and back again
And breath in your every breath just like it was my own
whoaaaaaaaaaa
I'm missing you tonight
And every second cuts just like a kife whoa whooooaaaaaaaaaa
I'm missing you tonight
ohhhhhhaaaa ohhhhhhaaaa
ciggarettes and lonely nights
The smoke stings my sleepless eyes
I squint the world into a thousand blinding lights my shaking hands hold photographs
That bring so many memories back
They're torn and crinkled from all theses nights they had to last
ohhhhhh whoaaaaaa
I'm missing you tonight
And every second cuts just like a knife whoa
Whoooaaaaa
I'm missing you tonight
Tell me what to do
Cause I just can't make it through
Another night without you here
When every seconds feels just like a year
ohhhhhhhhhh
is it fine to feel this way
Every hour in these days
Every minute every second
Every sunrise every sunset
whoaaaaaa
I'm missing you tonight
And every second cuts just like a knife
Whoooaaaaa
I'm missing you tonight
Tell me what to
Cause I just can't make it through
Another night without you here
Every second feels just like a year

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.
