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.
Epifanico silencio a la hora del amar
Tus ensueños ya se hicieron a la mar
Un extracto del perfume del dolor
Tus muñecas boca arriba y hacia el sol
Tus regalos deberian de llegar
Los elefantes locos, el vestido, el ajuar
Caminando en la neblina que disipa el corazon
Los milagos en cuerpo ya seran
Las violetas de tu sangre viviran
Sobre un rio enamorado, y en su andar
Tus regalos deberian de llegar
Las velas, las vajillas y tu felicidad
Y no sabes si detenerte o llover
Y parada sobre el mundo a tu pies
Tu sonrisa que nos hace temblar
Tiempla el mundo que no entiende al final
Ese beso de la vida, la sutil melancolia
El momento cuando piras, los espacios donde miras
Y las gotas de tu lluvia se iran
Y otra vez en la secuencia de lo petalos que caen
Se decubren los misterios de azar
Y las manos que se encuentran en la flor
La bestial naturaleza del amor
Tus regalos deberian de llegar
Si todo se termina todo vuelve a empezar
La mañana que se vienes es una extraña sensacion
Que refleja en los espejos del tiempo
Y la niña acurrucada en el rincon
Es la chica contra la furia de dios
Tus regalos deberian de llegar
No es mucho lo que tengo para darte, mirá
Y no sabes si detenerte o llover
Y parada sobre el mundo a tus pies
Tu sonrisa que nos hace temblar
Tiemba el mundo que no entiende al final
Ese beso de la vida, la sutil melancolia
El momento cuando piras, los espacios donde miras
Y las gotas de tu lluvia se iran
Y tus regalos deberian de llegar
Y las gotas de tu lluvia se iran
Tus ensueños ya se hicieron a la mar
Un extracto del perfume del dolor
Tus muñecas boca arriba y hacia el sol
Tus regalos deberian de llegar
Los elefantes locos, el vestido, el ajuar
Caminando en la neblina que disipa el corazon
Los milagos en cuerpo ya seran
Las violetas de tu sangre viviran
Sobre un rio enamorado, y en su andar
Tus regalos deberian de llegar
Las velas, las vajillas y tu felicidad
Y no sabes si detenerte o llover
Y parada sobre el mundo a tu pies
Tu sonrisa que nos hace temblar
Tiempla el mundo que no entiende al final
Ese beso de la vida, la sutil melancolia
El momento cuando piras, los espacios donde miras
Y las gotas de tu lluvia se iran
Y otra vez en la secuencia de lo petalos que caen
Se decubren los misterios de azar
Y las manos que se encuentran en la flor
La bestial naturaleza del amor
Tus regalos deberian de llegar
Si todo se termina todo vuelve a empezar
La mañana que se vienes es una extraña sensacion
Que refleja en los espejos del tiempo
Y la niña acurrucada en el rincon
Es la chica contra la furia de dios
Tus regalos deberian de llegar
No es mucho lo que tengo para darte, mirá
Y no sabes si detenerte o llover
Y parada sobre el mundo a tus pies
Tu sonrisa que nos hace temblar
Tiemba el mundo que no entiende al final
Ese beso de la vida, la sutil melancolia
El momento cuando piras, los espacios donde miras
Y las gotas de tu lluvia se iran
Y tus regalos deberian de llegar
Y las gotas de tu lluvia se iran

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

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.
