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.
I go ooh ooh, you go ah ah
La la la la, la la la la
I can la la la la la la
I wanna, wanna, wanna get, get, get what I want, don't stop
Gimme, gimme, gimme whatcha got, got
'Cause I can't wait, wait, wait any m-more, more, more
Don't even talk about the consequence
'Cause right now you're the only thing that's making any sense to me
And I don't give a damn what they say, or what they think, think
'Cause you're the only one who's on my mind
I'll never, ever let you leave me
I'll try to stop time forever
Never wanna hear you say goodbye
I feel so untouched and I want you so much
That I just can't resist you
It's not enough to say that I miss you
I feel so untouched right now, need you so much somehow
I can't forget you
Goin' crazy from the moment I met you
Untouched, un-
And I need you so much
See you, breathe you
I want to be you
Ah la la la, ah la la la
You can take, take, t-take, take, time, time
To live, live the way you gotta, gotta live your life
Give me, give me, give me all of you, you
Don't be scared, of seeing through the loneliness
I want it more, more, more
Don't even think about what's right or wrong, or wrong or right
'Cause in the end it's only you and me
And no one else is going to be around
To answer all the questions left behind
And you and I are meant to be
So even if the world falls down today
You've still got me to hold you up, up
And I will never let you down, down
I feel so untouched and I want you so much
That I just can't resist you
It's not enough to say that I miss you
I feel so untouched right now, need you so much somehow
I can't forget you

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”
No Surprises
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.

oddly , i love this song. i hate this type of music. but the thing that gets me with this song is the lyrics. the lyrics to this song fit the situation i'm in perfectly.
to me this song means : the girl is in love with a guy but she cannot date him. he likes her and want's to be with her, but theire are so many factors that could ruin it. the guy is older than her and dosen't want anyone to find out and him get in trouble ; ( i dont care about the consequence ) . but the guy plays with her mind and wants her to want him. so he keeps on tempting her but dosen't "touch" her. she knows she will never get him until she is older, but she dosen't want to ( wait anymore ) . .
makes since to me.
