虽然在第五届“美国偶像大赛”中并未入围最终的三甲，但凭借其颇具爆发力的嗓音得到广大观众喜爱的“光头人气王”克里斯·多特里（Chris Daughtry) 却是那届“美国偶像”给人留下印象最深的歌手之一。这首全新单曲 ”No Surprise” 是Daughtry乐队的主音兼主创Chris Daughtry与加拿大Nickelback乐队的主音Chad Kroeger共同创作完成的。这首歌曲所表达的是一种“忍无可忍，无需再忍”的情绪，歌词与编曲方面属于中规中矩，但歌曲胜在拥有琅琅上口的旋律 。 “就算明天我将不会再出现在这里也无需惊讶/很难相信我竟然留到了今天”（It's no surprise I won't be here tomorrow; I can't believe that I stayed till today）歌曲的这两句歌词很像是专门为被淘汰者所准备的。
Artist: Daughtry
Title: No Surprise
I've practiced this for hours,
Gone round and round
round and round: 【round 可以解释为环绕，兜圈子，所以round and round的原意是一直在转呀转，这里是用它来比喻主人公一直在练习】
And now I think that I've got it all down
get it: <口语>【明白了】
And as I say it louder I love how it sounds
Because I'm not taking the easy way out
take the easy way out: <口语> 轻易摆脱(困境)
Not wrapping this in ribbons
wrap: 包，裹（礼物等） ribbon: (尤其指用于捆扎或装饰) 缎带，丝带
Shouldn't have to give a reason why...
It's no surprise I won't be here tomorrow
I can't believe that I stayed till today
Yeah you and I will be a tough act to follow
tough: 困难的，艰苦的，需很大决心（或努力）的
But I know in time we'll find this was no surprise
in time: 迟早，最终，经过一段时间之后
It came out like a river once I let it out
come out: 显现，显露 once: 一旦，当…的时候 let out: 释放；放走
When I thought that I wouldn't know how
Held onto it forever just pushing it down
hold onto: 抓紧，不放开，留住 push down: 把…放下
Felt so good to let go of it now
let go (of sb/sth): 放手，松开
Not wrapping this in ribbons
Shouldn't have to give a reason why
It's no surprise I won't be here tomorrow
I can't believe that I stayed till today
There's nothing here in this heart left to borrow
There's nothing here in this soul left to say
soul: 心灵，灵魂
Don't be surprised when we hate this tomorrow
hate: 厌恶，厌倦
God know we tried to find an easier way
Yeah you and I will be a tough act to follow
But I know in time we'll find this was no surprise
Our favorite place we used to go
The warm embrace that no one knows
embrace: 拥抱
The loving look that's left your eyes
That's why this comes as no, as no surprise
If I could see the future and how this plays out
play out: 出现，耗尽
I bet it's better than where we are now
bet: <口语> 【八成儿，敢说；我们经常说“我敢肯定…”“我敢说…”，就用I bet (that)，如 I bet you that he knows all about it.】
But after going through this,
go through: 经历，遭受
it's easier to see the reason why
It's no surprise I won't be here tomorrow
I can't believe that I stayed till today
Yeah you and I will be a tough act to follow
But I know in time we'll find this was no surprise
Our favorite place we used to go
The warm embrace that no one knows
The loving look that's left your eyes
But I know in time we'll find this was no surprise
