What a good good life where everything comes around again
So you get another chance to say
"I love you, I just miss you, I just wish you would stay"
And you know, and you know, and you know, and you know, and you know that you hope they'll listen this time, this time
What a sweet sweet life, with elk and giant bears, and you
To the west the dark sea and sleeping whales
To the sunset on my back like a lion's mane attached to my neck
In coals, roses, and ash
Let the night, let the night, let the night, let this night become a place where I can find
Hidden light, hidden light
What a funny funny life to watch develop
When the calendar's a delicate design
Of waiting, of planning, of wanting and regret and disappointment
But hope and triumph too.
Come and be (x4) brave with me
Tonight, this this
Let it go (x5)
It's not, it's not giving up
It's giving in
To a moment
Trying to be free
Let us be free
Let us be free
I will be free
So you get another chance to say
"I love you, I just miss you, I just wish you would stay"
And you know, and you know, and you know, and you know, and you know that you hope they'll listen this time, this time
What a sweet sweet life, with elk and giant bears, and you
To the west the dark sea and sleeping whales
To the sunset on my back like a lion's mane attached to my neck
In coals, roses, and ash
Let the night, let the night, let the night, let this night become a place where I can find
Hidden light, hidden light
What a funny funny life to watch develop
When the calendar's a delicate design
Of waiting, of planning, of wanting and regret and disappointment
But hope and triumph too.
Come and be (x4) brave with me
Tonight, this this
Let it go (x5)
It's not, it's not giving up
It's giving in
To a moment
Trying to be free
Let us be free
Let us be free
I will be free

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.
