Don't flatter yourself,
You're just another story to tell.
I never did love you beyond the summer anyway.
Don't spread it around.
I've got other things on my mind.
The former each other is long gone, far away.

Don't leave me a key at the door.
I won't be coming back tonight.
Don't say you wish you loved me more.
I won't take your calls.
Tell all your friends I've gone away,
And give them my regards.
Leaving is just living part of you.
I've known that from the start.

Don't ask me to stay.
I've read that script before.
You only take the part if you're star.
Savior to heart.

Rearrange the plans in your book.
I won't be coming by today.
Fly back to the home you had before.
Lay your body down.
Love me, hate me when you see my face.
But please don't let me know.
Leaving is the letter perfect move.
I'll take before you go.

Don't tell your new girl,
That I'm just a friend.
Save it for the devils wanting headlines in the end.
Don't cry for what you've done.
I've put other things in my heart.
The former each other is long gone on the mend.

Don't leave me a key at the door.
I won't be coming by tonight.
Don't say you wished you loved me more.
That's not much to me.
Tell all the tales too long to tell.
Save your gentle breathe.
Leaving is the lighthouse in the dark,
That saved me from my death.

Leaving is the lighthouse in the dark,
That saved me.

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.
