However, here's my interpretation: As he is singing 'bring down the government, they don't, they don't speak for us' it is - for me - obvious that he's talking about a corrupt world, a world withouth truth and honesty. 'I'll take the quite life - a handshake of carbon monoxide' means that he chooses the life of silence. a life where he floats on and pretends that there's no problems. "I choose not to say anything, i choose to accept the problem of carbon monoxide" (climit crisis anyone?) this is my interpretation, and It's meaningful to me in many ways. would be interesting to find out what he thought of when he wrote the song. anyone know any statement of this kind? Btw, best radiohead song ever. No Surprises | Reviewer: Mary Hinge | 6/6/07 A beutifully done tune, but have you tried Metallica? The song ONE has got to be the best song ever reagrding the conflict of ww2...i'll leave it with you to educate yourselves into greater depths of melancolly self hate and depression............. suicidal...yer | Reviewer: Anonymous | 6/2/07 Suicidal...? | Reviewer: Anonymous .... thom wrote this song after he went through a suicidal depression stage in his life oddly beautiful | Reviewer: Anonymous | 6/1/07 meloncholic, strange, pretty, dangerous, disasterous, epic. Is that enough? No surprises, please | Reviewer: Sean | 5/26/07 This kind of reminds me of that neighborhood in Edward Scissorhands, where everyone is willfully dead inside. Depressing and emotional | Reviewer: Anonymous | 5/16/07 There is a difference between depressing and emotional. There's nothing wrong with feeling strongly about something (emotional). I guess it depends how you look at it. Great song but is still surpassed by about 30 much better Radiohead songs. "Packt like sardines..." "You and whose army?" "knives out" "2+2=5" "sit down.." "go to sleep" Shall I go on? No alarms, no surprises, no more words. | Reviewer: ALF | 5/10/07 This song is good. It has a reassuring beat and a pleasant lyric. Only surpassed by "Paranoid Android". kek | Reviewer: Anonymous | 4/30/07 Ugh, it is about a suicide, but only as a metaphor. The whole no surprises is how people trade in their objections to the wrongs that they see all around them for a quite life with no surprises. Instead, they focus on material things ie the pretty house and garden because it is obtainable and sanctioned by society. The song is the final fit/belly ache before they give up their objections and fall into the quiet life and betray their past convictions. this song | Reviewer: Anonymous | 5/3/07 is possibely the greatest song written by any band of the period.
