This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
On and on day to day
With games that you play
Cause it comes down to
Things that you do and say
And it's all justified
When your speaking your mind
But when I give my opinion
You think that I'm out of line
Too bad for you
We're shooting straight from the hip and
There's no way
To prove that we aint legit
How can you know what we feel
When you're not in our head
It's time to chill with yourself and listen up instead
Don't try to play me like some fool
I don't' enjoy your games
You make us out to be so cruel
Because we don't see things your way
The example that you set
Is really warping me
Don't even have a clue
Just what you do to me
Everything I do
You seem to pick apart
I try to be sincere
Despite a change of heart
So push back attack
And be like the rest
You get a thought in your mind
And then you beat it to death
Is it too much to ask
Just to leave me alone
Haven't you heard of respect
Or do you have to be shown
Don't try to play me like some fool
I don't' enjoy your games
You make us out to be so cruel
Because we don't see things your way
One thing
That I've been wondering
Please tell me why
Everyone in the world
Has to be like you
All my life
Been someone on my back
Then you wonder
Why I'm so quick to attack
You never see things
From my point of view
It always seems to come down
To close minded you
Yeah the scales
Are lifted from my eyes
It took me way too long
Just to realize
I'm no different than you
Nor do I think I'm above
But when it comes to your type
I got no feelings at all
Don't try to play me like some fool
I don't' enjoy your games
You make us out to be so cruel
Because we don't see things your way
One thing
That I've been wondering
Please tell me why
Everyone in the world
Has to be like you
With games that you play
Cause it comes down to
Things that you do and say
And it's all justified
When your speaking your mind
But when I give my opinion
You think that I'm out of line
Too bad for you
We're shooting straight from the hip and
There's no way
To prove that we aint legit
How can you know what we feel
When you're not in our head
It's time to chill with yourself and listen up instead
Don't try to play me like some fool
I don't' enjoy your games
You make us out to be so cruel
Because we don't see things your way
The example that you set
Is really warping me
Don't even have a clue
Just what you do to me
Everything I do
You seem to pick apart
I try to be sincere
Despite a change of heart
So push back attack
And be like the rest
You get a thought in your mind
And then you beat it to death
Is it too much to ask
Just to leave me alone
Haven't you heard of respect
Or do you have to be shown
Don't try to play me like some fool
I don't' enjoy your games
You make us out to be so cruel
Because we don't see things your way
One thing

Please tell me why
Everyone in the world
Has to be like you

Holiday
Bee Gees
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
No Surprises
Radiohead
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. 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. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. 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. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. 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. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
Sounds like Helmet a little. Awsome song about people who dont have an open mind.
