This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Should I try to hide
The way I feel inside
My heart for you?
Would you say that you
Would try to love me too?
In your mind
Could you ever be
Really close to me?
I can tell the way you smile
If I feel that I
Could be certain then
I would say the things I want to say tonight
But 'til I can see
That you'd really care for me
I will dream
That someday you'll be
Really close to me
I can tell the way you smile
If I feel that I
Could be certain then
I would say the things I want to say tonight
But 'til I can see
That you'd really care for me
I'll keep trying to hide
The way I feel inside
The way I feel inside
My heart for you?
Would you say that you
Would try to love me too?
In your mind
Could you ever be
Really close to me?
I can tell the way you smile
If I feel that I
Could be certain then
I would say the things I want to say tonight
But 'til I can see
That you'd really care for me
I will dream
That someday you'll be
Really close to me
I can tell the way you smile
If I feel that I
Could be certain then
I would say the things I want to say tonight
But 'til I can see
That you'd really care for me
I'll keep trying to hide
The way I feel inside

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.

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.
When I saw The Life Aquatic I heard this song and I said, "What is this song?!?!?!?! I need it!!" Very short and pretty.
I sang along when they played it in Life Aquatic. That whole soundtrack rocks.
I too heard this on The Life Aquatic. At that moment I HAD to download it. It summed up how I feel perfectly.
this song is so me
this song is so me
I like how this song expresses a universal emotion that everyone has experienced at at least one point in their life.
Oh yeah i also was introduced to this song via The Life Aquatic. God Bless You Ned Plimpton.
he sounds so naked and humble in this song. that vulnerable state when you care so much about something you're afraid to do or say anything to disturb it.
to me this song does a brilliant job at conveying that quiet and private feeling you have when you're very fond of someone but have no real hope of it flourishing into anything more than silent longing from afar.
GOD, I'm glad you brought that up. I love his voice in this song. Its so sincere and raw---its like you know he was feeling it when he sang it. Totally agree with you, I don't think I could've have said that any better myself. <br />
the way it starts out only with vocals, and then builds up with the sustained notes is killer. i love this song, its the first zombies song i ever heard, thanks to the life aquatic, like alot of people, i guess
yay!
I like the way delial says it. Makes me think of this Taiwanese girl I knew. I was friendly with her and I was very fond of her but we didn't really have anything in common. I drew a picture of her before I knew her and she acted like she hated it but I think she'd have let me draw her again if I asked. I remember her cell phone got stolen and someone hid it in a potted plant in the boy's restroom after the teachers found out. Before they found it they sent us out of the room and searched our bags. A few guys got sent to the office for having stuff in their backpacks. She searched my bag and found a pack of cigarettes. Later on, after they'd found the cell phone, she passed me a note: (Do you smoke?) I laughed a little. "Well, do you?" "Why?" "When we were looking through the bags." I laughed again. "Thanks for not saying anything." "Yeah." She was pretty preppy though. And she wanted me to teach her guitar but she wouldn't cut her nails no matter how much I told her it wouldn't work. I figured she didn't give a shit about me but when I transferred out of there she and this other girl I knew okay (she was really cool and we were really alike. I wish I had known her better) made a card and had everybody sign it with farewell wishes and all that crap. It was supposed to be a surprise but I knew about it. It was kind of nice though. I distanced myself from everybody because we were going to move and I hated the place we were living and the school I was going to. I transferred there in the middle of the year and I was leaving near the end of the year so I just felt like I was passing through. So I went to the faculty room to say bye to the teachers and everything and she was there having one last person sign the card so she wouldn't let me leave when I was done. She gave me the card and was joking around and everything,. "You cheater, leaving everybody here. Why do you have to go?" She was looking at me, pretending to be sad and then she smiled. (Fuck.) So I told her that I had feelings for her but that I realized we had nothing in common and she just nodded like she was saying, “Yeah, I know”. It was kind of funny in front of everybody. I realized after I left that I actually had some pretty good friends outside of school. I was too busy hating the place to realize. I guess that’s sort of a boring story… But I think the song is about having feelings of romantic love for the other person so now that I think of it my story doesn’t have much relevance. Yeah, the Zombies are much underrated.
No, that was a good story, and it matches the mood of the song pretty well, I think. I had a similar experience. Back when I was in college, me and a bunch of other kids who went to the same school worked at the same place, and one of them was this cute Mexican girl, and she was pretty shy and always did her work with headphones on (we did internet research for this company, so that's what we did all day, sit in front of a screen, online, doing searches) and she never really cut up with the rest of us. I know she liked to drink and hang out with a friend she had away from work and school (and that's just about all I knew about her), because that's one of the few things she talked about, was how she was a lot more talkative after a few drinks. Anyway, I tried to get her to open up some, and sort of got an awkward friendship going with her. The fact that she was Mexican had something to do with why I liked her (my ex was Mexican, and I'd been pretty heartbroken over her for a couple of years) and I tried to introduce her to different kinds of music that I liked. Bjork, in particular. She never really responded much to my recommendations, or really even opened up to me ever, but then the day came soon after she graduated when she got another job, and on her last day, she left for lunch - something she rarely did - and she never came back. I guess that was her plan for quitting, so she wouldn't have to say any awkward goodbyes. Anyway, some of the few things we actually talked about besides music were science fiction, and video games... and when I got back from lunch, there was a paperback copy of Ender's Game, a favorite sci-fi novel of mine that I'd told her about, and inside was a picture of Bjork which had been clipped out of a magazine. No note, no nothing else... just that book and that picture; a silent acknowledgement of our brief semi-friendship over the past several months. It was the only time she'd ever expressed anything to me which indicated anything about herself and her feelings beyond the regular, shallow surface communication which occurs between mere acquaintances. I was deeply touched by the gesture.
