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”
In the dark of the night I search for
The mindless wretches of society
To drink of their blood and feast upon their flesh
Time to break cause you'll never take this
Lots of stiffs and blood, what a sickening mess
Feasting on the blood of the insane
Here's another tale of the fucking deranged
Psychotic, violent another one dead, blood clotted
Lust for blood a need for insanity
Die in the slaughter, time to tap an artery
Brain withered another empty thought
I will kill again and never be caught
Face to face with the monster of hate
Another victim, another piece of meat
Time to kill no one gets out alive
Another scream, another mother fucker dies
First I kill and then I feed, can't deny my blood lust need
A son of a bitch 3rd generation
Schooled in the art of human strangulation
Only one thing will control my pain
That's to drink the blood of the insane
My need for blood, drives me to kill
Another dying, bleeding for my lust
Feed on the dead, feed on the dead, feed on the dead
I've got to get the blood flowing
Just a bit of guts and gore
Indulgence in the blood of freaks
Take another dose of the bloodlust
To rip apart and shred the dead
Teeth stuck in, another victim
Blood bath, I'm gonna kill again
I am the walking dead
Concentrated hate and fear and pain
Inside of me the same
It's gonna go on and on and on
A new life is born
Broken bodies start now rotting
No way to stop the feeding
Only one way to control my pain
Feasting on the blood of the insane
My need for blood, drives me to kill
Another dying, bleeding for my lust
Feed on the dead, feed on the dead, feed on the dead
The mindless wretches of society
To drink of their blood and feast upon their flesh
Time to break cause you'll never take this
Lots of stiffs and blood, what a sickening mess
Feasting on the blood of the insane
Here's another tale of the fucking deranged
Psychotic, violent another one dead, blood clotted
Lust for blood a need for insanity
Die in the slaughter, time to tap an artery
Brain withered another empty thought
I will kill again and never be caught
Face to face with the monster of hate
Another victim, another piece of meat
Time to kill no one gets out alive
Another scream, another mother fucker dies
First I kill and then I feed, can't deny my blood lust need
A son of a bitch 3rd generation
Schooled in the art of human strangulation
Only one thing will control my pain
That's to drink the blood of the insane
My need for blood, drives me to kill
Another dying, bleeding for my lust
Feed on the dead, feed on the dead, feed on the dead
I've got to get the blood flowing
Just a bit of guts and gore
Indulgence in the blood of freaks
Take another dose of the bloodlust
To rip apart and shred the dead
Teeth stuck in, another victim
Blood bath, I'm gonna kill again
I am the walking dead
Concentrated hate and fear and pain
Inside of me the same
It's gonna go on and on and on
A new life is born
Broken bodies start now rotting
No way to stop the feeding
Only one way to control my pain
Feasting on the blood of the insane
My need for blood, drives me to kill
Another dying, bleeding for my lust
Feed on the dead, feed on the dead, feed on the dead

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.
