It's living life without any greater meaning. hmm | Reviewer: lydia | 4/15/09 it's so obviously about suicide. all you people trying to make out its about living the 'perfect' life. it's got nothing to do with that. surely you're not so simple minded to not see that the song seems to be about suicide. "This is my final fit, my final bellyache." after all their 'bruises that wont heal', their finishing everything. thats what i thought from the second i saw it. Watch the making of the video | Reviewer: Lee | 4/2/09 I was watching a movie about the tour they did to support OK Computer. They had the making of the music video for 'No surprises'. Thom has to do about 15 takes for the video. The water filled up, but Thom didn't have enough air to hold for the entire song. At one time, you see Thom start cursing as the water is flushed out of the tank. He was really frustrated by doing the video. I can't imagine trying to hold your air that long. It is a great song for sure. You have to really listen, is it killing yourself or surrendering to the world? ~L~ Me again... | Reviewer: Anonymous | 4/2/09 seems i was so upset about the people who bash Radiohead, i never even said what i think this song means, at least to me... i believe its a peaceful acceptance of the notion and truth of the end of all things, and a quiet resignation of power over your life. in any interview that you can read about Thom Yorke and the rest of Radiohead, they always decline any reposibility and refuse any praise for the son, usually saying that they write themselves... i think this song is more about the hope that when you die, and through your life, there's nothing that makes the world just drop out from under you, or any crazy amounts of anxiety... i don't know, i think its more of a life comment than a government comment long live radiohead! | Reviewer: daysi | 3/27/09 this song is a piece of art. i agree with you i am a teenager and i love radiohead because of the impact they produce and complex songs that they have.. the meaning of the song for all of us is different but i think most of here agree that radiohead is a great band.. erin im so sorry for your lost.. and i totally share ur way of thinking.. regards daysi No Surprises | Reviewer: Paul | 3/6/09 I think this song is is about selling out and making a deal with capitalim in order to live the perfect, "safe" life, "handshake with carbon monoxide" could imply sitting in traffic to attain such a dreaam, it could also be an acknowldgement to the cylic end of the oil and automobbile industry, i cant believe u people! | Reviewer: Anonymous | 2/14/09 what the hell is wrong with those of you that decided to write about how this band is all geared towards money?! have you even listened to one of their songs?! not exactly the simple get in, get out, get paid approach most 'artists' use today! and i believe that i am one of the few teenagers to actually listen to a band like this! i enjoy looking at the son, and taking from it what i will. THIS makes radiohead songs art, and makes them true artists. i'm sick of all you pricks out there picking apart a song that you don't like.... STOP LISTENING AND DON'T POST!!!! how much must your life suck that you decide to try to pass the time by giving hate to those who are actually MAKING something of themselves. let's see you lay yourself as bare as Radiohead does and allow the world to take a peek into your thoughts and emotions, making YOU vulnerable to their criticism... let's see you try that out and see how you make out! and Erin, i completely agree with your view on music, and i wish you had not been insulted by someone ignorant enough to think that by mentioning you were a musician, you were trying to get your name out there... idiots. i am very sorry for your loss. so, if you do not like radiohead, and would like to share it with others, then shut up, we don't want to hear it... if you hate it so much, why did you look up the lyrics dumbass!!! anonymous | Reviewer: Anonymous | 2/4/09 i think it's not about suicide, handshake of carbon monoxide it's about giving up to society, final fit is what he thinks the best option for him, no alarm and no surprises meant living life by following the rules of "ordinary" people does. but deep inside him, he wanted to be free, to be himself as he wanna be (get me outta here). i guess that songs was a cynical statement to our capitalize society. Nice. | Reviewer: Anonymous | 2/3/09 Erin never even said the name of his band, so obviously not trying to get his name out. And it was just a personal example of how great music can be and was in relation to what this song did for him. Plus, only an idiot, would come here looking for recognition. Myspace does that trick. Right as you enter a place where users can enter their own input, you should expect some people to talk about their own personal situations. It's common sense. Your life must suck if things like Erin's post bother you. And anyone who is arguing about Radiohead caring about money, it's pointless. Of course they care about money, they need to be able to survive. Everyone needs money. Without money, you usually end up living on a street. It's sort of the way society works. Also common sense.
