This is a brief break down of the lyrics to Radiohead's song 'No Surprises'. The reason for doing this task was so that we can get into the 'swing' of getting ideas from the lyrics that the artist has produced. This song as you can see from the lyrics, is quite 'depressive' in a way that the male is almost asking to be killed and for death to come upon him. The line ' Bruises that won't heal' shows a hint of violence is the artist. A repetition of lyrics/lines is effective because even though they are the same lyrics, they can mean different things, for example the first set of 'no alarms and no surprises' could mean that the person is trying to avoid awakening from their sleep. The repetition can also show negativity to an audience. 'Such a pretty house, such a pretty garden' could be referring to heaven.
Overall, I feel that these depressing lyrics displayed show that the person is living a sad and lonely life where they are not happy with the way that they are living.
