Radiohead – No Surprises Lyrics 11 years ago
I'm not quite into Radiohead but this song absolutely blew my mind and became one of my favs.

I'd like to share with you an interpretation which unfortunately doesn't belong to me, originally written in spanish, let's see how good i'm at translating it.

Interpretation:

"We are born embedded within a social structure already assembled, whose axis is a system of objects around us, it seduces us withits goodness completely perishable. It's so distressing to realize that our very unique and finite existence is being aimed towards achieving goals so superficial such us living easily and comfortably. Does it really worth getting our life expectancy higher than ever if our steps in this world is determined by consumist intracendence?

Eagerness to carry on a quietly life without surprises in a pretty house with a pretty garden is the fair reward this social, political and economic organization called capitalism reward us for our perfect behaviour? for being so obedient and disciplined people?. Each morning of each day, an army of workers gain streets to put at work a huge and anonymous machinery that seems to be runned by a non visible head. (because the key is to be unseen)

The ideas verted in No Surprises widely exceed the politics of any particular country and reflex and perfectly describes the way societies behave. It's a picture of every day life."
