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”
Suddenly they awoke.
The wind was getting stronger, and snow was beginning to fall.
"Looks like there's a storm coming," someone said.
Oh, how right they were.
In a matter of minutes the sky was covered with dark clouds,
Thunder and lightning ripped the sky and the wind
Had now fully grown into a storm.
Just as they were planning on seeking shelter among the trees
They were suddenly attacked from the sky.
Someone was aiming the lightning at them
In attempt to stop our brave travelers once and for all.
There was no time to waste.
They had to find shelter,
Or they would be caught in the eye of the storm.
So run, run as fast as you can as the dark comes for your soul.
Snow, is falling so white and cold
The wind is growing in strength and in rage
The sky that once was so clear
Is now toning over our heads
The sense of magic is in the air
Can it be the work of the magic book?
Or just by the powers of nature
All that we know is that we just can't stay
Or we'll be caught in the eye of the storm
So run, run away
As fast as you can
To escape from the shadows
We need to find shelter
A place we can hide
From the eye of the storm
So run, run away
There, far away in the mountain hall
Maybe there's somewhere we can hide
With thunder and lighting above us
We're running as hard as we can
Hunted by the magic of the damned
Can it be the work of the magic book?
Or just by the powers of nature
All that we know is that we just can't stay
Or we'll be caught in the eye of the storm
So run, run away
Can it be the work of the magic book?
Or just by the powers of nature
All that we know is that we just can't stay
Or we'll be caught in the eye of the storm
So run, run away
The wind was getting stronger, and snow was beginning to fall.

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.
