Day 272: No Surprises, Radiohead

There is something very sad and true about this song. Perhaps it is just me, but there are lyrics in this song that I have related to at different times in my life. Probably the lines that I most relate to at this present time are:

Bruises that won’t heal
You look so tired, unhappy
Bring down the government
They don’t, they don’t speak for us

A very dark song by Radiohead which let’s face it, along with the video, is full of suicidal images.
