Radiohead - No Surprises

[@neilfan1016]

this song sounds like despair, no hope left just acceptance. it feels like what it feels like to be absoloutly crushed, tears streaming down your face but somehow everything is ok

[@itdoesntmatteranymore3550]

This!!!!

[@BlackAlbino2000]

It definitely brings up emotions of sadness and despair and your life being crushed . I always thought it’s about the realization that these socially accepted conforming norms of what we see as having a happy life are merely going to make you more miserable and dull and end up drowning you slowly till your time’s up . If I’d put it very direct , a life lived without surprises is like slow suicide but if you seek further than these norms you get curious about what really matters in your life and this brings you true happiness .

[@betul8417]

i think this song is about a person who tried as hard as they can, gave all they have to achive something but somehow failed, and now living a life that they want to be saved from but there is no escape. like someone who wasted their potential and lost their passion, and now theyre just breathing, not living. this song is what i fear my future will look like, being someone born in an extremely religious family that always held me back from my passions because they weren't acceptable for them. i dont know, i want to think everything will eventually turn okay but i simply cant. makes me cry like a kid everyime i listen to it.

[@watniq]

[@JisK7]

To anyone reading this, Jesus Christ Loves you so much that HE died for you all to save you all from eternal death and suffering. And HES calling you all to a relationship with HIM. All you need to do is to Believe in HIM with all of your Heart that HE died for all of youre sins meaning (past,present,future sins) and believe that HE rose again on the Third Day then you will be saved. Does that mean that i can now do anything i want, no. When you are now saved in Jesus Christ, you are now renewed in HIM meaning your old self (sins, darkness, lusts) are all gone For Jesus Christ has now renewed you and when you are now saved, you start a relationship with HIM, so that you may know HIM more and know about HIS words and commands which are in the BIBLE and aswell most importantly you can apply GODS words into your Life and Make GODS words your lamp to your feet and to your path and your guidance on How to Live life. And some might say i need to be clean (sinless) to come to Jesus Christ but thats not the Case, Because GOD Himself when you come to HIM will transform you and renew you, but does that mean that i will not sin again?, no but thats why you need to have full total Faith in GOD so that you will not sin against HIM and you will be all set. GODBLESS you all, May GODS Grace and Peace and Love which is Powerful be with you all❤.

This song never fails to make me cry like a kid. Especially at the part " no alarms and no suprises please". I've felt like my whole life as been just suprises and changes thrown at me. From my mother leaving me and my family all of a sudden, to my father suddenly neglecting us and ignoring my existence and needing to throw my childhood away for my siblings , to suddenly my father leaving us in another country on our own with my grandmother. To my mother suddenly wanted custody of us, our education ruined, getting so stressed about taking care of my family to the point that I got gastritis and anxiety.. its all been surpises, sudden changes that I had to force myself to adapt to.. I'm so tired, I just want to live a normal teenage life, worry about my exams and education instead of worrying about whether I'll survive or not. Even my friends who I thought will be by my side no matter what are giving up on me, I just feel like everyone gave up on me.. my parents, my family, my friends.. everyone.. I feel so alone.. I tried my best, I did my best to help everyone around me, I tried my best to be a good older sibling, a good friend, a good kid, a good student, a good person.. but everything just feels like it went to waste. I did my best.. yet everyone still gave up on me, I really tried my best.. but not even one person saw how much I'm struggling, and now I gave up on myself too, I can't bring myself to even care about my basic needs anymore:) I couldn't care less anymore. I just want things to be normal. I don't want any more suprises and changes,, I want a normal life EDIT: hello! I've come back and I just wanted to say thank you to every single person who gave me so much love and comfort in the replies. I promise when I say this that reading all that made me feel so loved and cared for, and even tho things aren't looking too good for me.. I for once in my life I feel like I'm not alone and can finally go through this.The kindness of strangers really is something so amazing! it reminded me that there's still so many truly amazing and kind people in this world!. You all saved my life, thanks to your kind and loving words, I truly feel like I'm not alone. ( P.S I've made it a habit to read through the comments every day)

Born 1993, when I was around 5/6 me and my family had to move to Germany, Osnabruck because my Dad was stationed there for being in the British Army. We stayed there until 2001. I can honestly say from what memories are still there in my head, are the best years of my life. If I could just relive those days, just for a few hours, I would be so happy. I spend hours crying happy/sad tears on Google Earth Pro with the time machine of the maps. Seeing my old Primary School before it was demolished. Seeing the Army barracks my dad was at before that too was sadly demolished. Seeing my old childhood home which I haven't seen since we left 23 years ago. It's even more saddening with how Germany's privacy laws are. Google Street view is practically none existent. So the buildings and the streets I fondly remember are mainly just these pixelated resemblances of buildings that I still vividly remember from my childhood but I can't see how are now or was a few years ago. I only have what I remember, and the odd remnants of videos here on KZbin which is extremely lacking and rare to find Thankfully some time last year, Germany finally lifted those privacy laws for Google Maps Street view and i finally got to see my home again for the first time since we all left way back in 2001. I will be honest. I've never cried so much in such a long time. It was harrowingly different everywhere i looked around Osnabruck but I could also see things that haven't changed at all. The walks we went on, the Warner Brothers Movie Theme Park down south near Dorsten. Pony rides in the woods and picking the oldest one there who was called Boris. I picked him all the time because he liked to eat the grass a lot which made the ride last longer so I could spend more time with him. The little & big lake walk just behind the Nettebad. The traditional Christmas Markets in the town centre. Playing video games when my Dad finally came home on my Playstation 1, we would try and beat the games in one day but never could because I didn't have a memory card. Getting excited whenever Pokemon was on the TV. Friends round mine to share the big swimming pool I had. Watching Halloween Town before going out trick or treating. Finding our first ever pet, a kitten abandoned behind a grit bin while we were on a bike ride and taking her home, we named her Millie. So many memories. All lost to time. With only old VHS tapes & photographs to try and relive those memories at least just a tiny bit. Oh what Id do just to go back to those days. Nostalgia is such a beautiful but cruel mistress. I hate to love it and love to hate it. I Miss you Osnabruck. I miss you childhood. But. I have a daughter now, born Bonfire Night in 2022. Can't believe it's almost been 2 years with her already. And I honestly can not wait to be the best father I can possibly be. And to make everlasting memories with her that she can look back on and smile just as much as I do looking back at the ones I made with my Mum & Dad. Oh Germany. Oh Osnabruck. Oh childhood. You were the best of days. I'll revisit you one day. With the whole family hopefully.

[@Khan_Isma]

Idk why but I am crying reading your comment, maybe because it makes me realize thay I might be in your place one day missing the nostalgia that I am currently living in with my parents, that my old dad must also miss his childhood like you do, that one day everything I currently share with my family will not exist, I know things have started to change in my life now, and I have very less time to capture these moments and reading your comment made me even more anxious and sad aren't we all the same I can't stop crying hahaha

One of the greatest songs ever written. Not sure if this is what the song was written about, but it perfectly encapsulates all the feelings that come right before considering suicide.

OK Computer is one of the finest albums from the '90s and, perhaps, of all time. I was 15 when this album came out and I bought it on my 16th birthday. I remember hearing the tracks playing on the radio clear as day, when radio still had real power and influence. I'd never heard a sound like this before and the whole album was a total masterpiece from beginning to end. 25 years later if I ever want to go back to those fun memories of the '90s and my teenage years, I can always play this album. Thanks, Radiohead!

The song captures the essence of that betrayal and the ensuing emotional turmoil. It speaks to the transformation of a cherished relationship into a bittersweet memory, a reminder of what once was and what could have been. The lyrics resonate deeply, reflecting the sorrow and acceptance that come with recognizing that someone you held dear is now just a poignant chapter in your life story. Every time I listen to this song, it brings back a flood of memories and emotions. It's a mix of nostalgia for the good times and the sting of realizing that those moments are gone forever. The pain of losing someone you thought would always be there, only to find out they were meant to teach you a lesson, is something that this song perfectly encapsulates. It's a reminder that life is unpredictable and sometimes those closest to us can cause the deepest wounds. The healing process is tough, but songs like this one help us process and understand our feelings, giving us a sense of solidarity in knowing we're not alone in our struggles. The experience has made me more cautious and reflective, yet it's also a testament to personal growth. It’s about finding strength in adversity and learning to navigate the complexities of human relationships. This song, with its raw and honest lyrics, serves as both a comfort and a cathartic outlet for all those emotions.

But when I do I love their music even more. I call it the "radiohead phases" when i listen for them for a couple days obessively, and then forget for a couple of months. I'd recommend a song ""Before your very eyes" by Atoms for Peace (thom yorke's other band ), its lyrics and melody are probably one of the most hard hitting for me out of all radiohead songs (yes, I consider all projects by thom yorke as 'radiohead' lol). "Ingenue" by Atoms for Peace is also pretty special in terms of melancholic meditative melody and vocal line. Its just that these are pretty deep cuts of Radioheads discography, so maybe you'll like them. oh, and a 'True Love Waits (90s band version)' by Radiohead on youtube is a pretty banger version of one of their old songs. As well as 'Let Down' & "Where you end and I begin" are super good. But actually almost all RH songs are great lol.

Radiohead - no surprises- A song right before suicide. A person who is too scared to live in this scary world. The lyrics are chilling when you realize what it's all about. But actually the singer is at peace with his decision. He is so close to heaven that the melody in this song is actually heavenly. Something spiritual is going on in this melody. Something deep and moving and with an insanely beautiful heartfelt delivery by Tom York. This song is from someone who is already touching the otherside and while he is in the state in between both worlds he is sharing a melody that is connected to the divine. A one of a kind melody that is almost spiritual in its beauty. "Searching pretty garden" is the start of the transition. He actually reached the other side and actually its quite nice there. He is still as content as he was when he left this world. All his fears dont bother him anymore, as he originally hoped when he was of the living. This is a suprising message and a suprising conclusion to this song. A unique conclusion, a daring conclusion, an extremly brave conclusion to share with the outside world. In a world where we glorify life as the be all end all, the song is saying this is an individual choice. Not all are cut out for this world and that its ok to give up as well. This world is very scary. A true authentic spiritual moment of forgiveness to those who take theyre life. True identification and empathy for those so damaged by this cruel world. "A handshake with carbon monoxide". This was a deal he made. He agreed to all the terms and conditions. The guitars in this song are beyond genius and masterful. The guitar sounds like a lullaby, and at the same time sounds like a life support machine beeping as well. I think this was done on purpose. Radiohead are at that high a level of geniuse and artists of the highest accord. As I often say a melody by radiohead is not equal to a regular melody, there's something extra, even if I can't fully explain why. This song even though lower then the other radiohead songs on this list is the bands most shinning melodic masterpiece. It is a melody from the heavens.

This song makes me think of my cousin who passed only a few months ago. When I saw this song at pretty much midnight, it made me think of him and I had to lay down for a moment and think about the good times I had with him. This song genuinely made me cry but also made me think about who cares for me. This song has been my favorite for a long time and I was both happy and sad to hear it again.

[@Itz_Ge0rg3]

In case you couldn’t tell by the lyrics “A handshake of carbon monoxide, with no alarms and no surprises”, it’s about a depressed man sitting in his car in a garage with the engine on and falling asleep, suffocating in his sleep from the engine fumes

Almost every song of Radiohead feels like standing while life passes by.Not in a sad way, but... Yes.

[@sloath283]

I always have a problem calming down. Breathing techniques dont work, it doesnt help if someone talks me through it or anything. it sucks. But this song has always calmed me down without fail. I love it. thank you.

[@CrabSully]

This song is so poignant to me. Being mentally ill is exhausting. It sucks being stuck in this constant cycle of just trying to get through. My interpretation of this song is its the peacefulness of giving up. Of being at rest finally.

Millie is correct! Some days are tougher than others. But we learn how to fight through the tough days and make the next one better than the one before. Life sucks sometimes but there are still a lot of things to be thankful for. I just started volunteering at a dog rescue recently and it has helped. Find something you love and go for it. Everything will be alright.

[@Anthony-kp7sf]

it kind of reminds me of being on the outside just constantly in bed and tired and its kind of okay because im not some starving person in another country and everyone else is just living their lives and being happy but i cant be for some reason and that just makes it all feel worse. i know this song is just about giving up and accepting and trying to live the "white picket fence" life and just swallowing all the pills.. the music itself is so interesting though. "have a nice life" is pretty depressing music but makes me feel better sometimes too. its nice knowing that at least one other person kind of feels the same way sometimes at least, so you dont always feel like a complete alien.

[@A.Peacock]

Find it in yourself and fight against the pain. meditate on what makes you mentally ill and slowly untangle the threads that tangle your mind. Break your cycle by doing things you don't usually do like if you have a creative mind then draw what you picture in your mind, create your own characters and write stories.
