![]() ![]() I don't pay attention to the distance that you're running It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.Now I know that I did something wrong 'cause I missed you. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. 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. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. ![]() But there is seemingly no way out but death. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. 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. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. 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. Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. She's not sure if he really cares about her, so he goes and tells her that she dsnt lsn and dsnt realize how much he tries for her:īasically her conflict is that she she loves him but at the same time she doesn't know if he wants her because he really cares about her or if it's just that he scared of ending up alone. Now I know that I did something wrong 'cause I missed you."Īnd then the following lyrics explain what had actually happened to make her leave. But after she left, she realized she misses him and she may be wrong about the whole thing "And I thought what I felt was simple, She left because she thought he wasn't the one for her and that the feelings she felt for him isn't love. It's about 2 people in a really complicated relashionship. And having quotation marks in the wrong pace makes it a bit of a mess. There is not much point having a web site discussing the meaning of song lyrics if the posted lyrics are incorrect. ![]() It could also that only the second part should be in quotes, were he said he caught her because he wanted her, but one day if she keeps leaving he won't ask for her to stay, and HE is then telling her that SHE might try and give away a keeper or might stay because she is so scared to lose and be alone. IE She caught HIM, one day she will let HIM go, she tried to give away a keeper, or maybe she won't leave because SHE "is just so scared to lose" SHE is the one leaving and coming back, and HE is the one asking her to "Stay" If the entire section was her quoting him, and it was all in quotation marks, it would make more sense, as he never tried to "give away a keeper". Without the quotation marks SHE is saying that HE said he caught her but will one day let her go, as in not ask her to "stay" If the quotation marks SHOULD be there, then HE is saying that SHE caught him and one day will "let him go", as in leave him. Or keep me 'cause you know you're just so You caught me 'cause you want me and one day you'll let me go I have to say, that the errors in these lyrics can change the entire meaning of the song, such as who is speaking when and to whom. You try to give away a keeper, or keep me 'cause you know you're just so scared to lose. You said, "I caught you 'cause I want you and one day I'll let you go." ![]() Oh but now I know that I was wrong, 'cause I missed you. I thought, "hey, I can leave, I can leave." I think that I'm throwing, but I'm thrown.Īnd I thought I'd live forever, but now I'm not so sure.īut that won't take my anyhow, or anywhere with you. Some of us hover when we weep for the other who was The lover is cryin' 'cause the other won't stay. The lover's in love and the other's run away, I'm only hearing negative: no, no, no (bad)Īnd so I, I turned the radio on, I turned the radio up Now I know that I did something wrong 'cause I missed you. ![]()
