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”
I'm here to show the world
I'm here to show the world
Bring it on
Do what I say
Better watch what I do
Better heed the warning I'm here to give you
If you ever doubted me
You don't have a clue
I'm here to show the world
I'm here to show the world
Things are exactly what they seem
I will defy the things you dream
Go check the scores again
I come out a perfect ten
They broke the mold when they made
Bring it on
Do what I say
Better watch what I do
Better heed the warning I'm here give you
If you ever doubted me
You don't have a clue
I'm here to show the world
I'm here to show the world
I hold your life here in my hands
I know you try hard to understand
Your little mind won't turn
Losing the wheel will burn
You'll recognize just who I am
Bring it on
Do what I say
Better watch what I do
Better heed the warning I'm here to give you
If you ever doubted me

Better watch what I do
Better heed the warning I'm here to give you
If you ever doubted me
You don't have to a clue
I'm here to show the world
I'm here to show the world
Give it up now
Never gonna work out
I'm the game changer in this there's no doubt
You took your best shot
But it's all over now
I'm here to show the whole world
Things just come easier to me
What you work hard for I get free
Said things you shouldn't say
And now it's time to pay
And you will pay it all to me
Do what I say
Better watch what I do
Better heed the warning I'm here to give you
If you ever doubted me
You don't have a clue
I'm here to show the world
I'm here to show the world
Do what I say
Better watch what I do
Better heed the warning I'm here to give you
If you ever doubted me
You don't have a clue
I'm here to show the world
I'm here to show the world
I'm here to show the world
Bring it on
Do what I say
Better watch what I do
Better heed the warning I'm here to give you
If you ever doubted me
You don't have a clue
I'm here to show the world
I'm here to show the world
Things are exactly what they seem
I will defy the things you dream
Go check the scores again

No Surprises

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.
