This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Oh, oh, I said
I've given up on give and take
Why feed the hand that slaps your face
You can't win for losin' your mind, yeah
No way to scratch a seven year itch
I've read your mind, baby, read my lips
I'm only human, of flesh and bone
What's the point of draggin' on
I'm trying to do without it
I gave you my heart for a stab in the back
I spent all my time on the table
Getting sawed in half
I'm better off than hanging by a thread
Don't need a queen in my king size bed
To tell me how
And when to make it, oh, yeah
What good is love that disappears, yeah
Comes back crying crocodile tears
It's the same old spot, the same old situation
It's a dirty job, crawling from the wreckage
Baby, trying to do without it
I gave you my heart for a stab in the back
I spent all my time on the table
Getting sawed in half, yeah
Trying to do without it
I was digging a hole, now I'm filling it up
I try so hard, trying to do without your love
Your love
I'll say goodbye and wonder why
I'm still tempted, ohh, yeah
All that's left is the white flag
I've been waving, I've been waving
It's the same old spot, same old situation, yeah
A dirty job, crawling from the wreckage, baby
Trying to do without it
Gave you my heart for a stab in the back
Spent all my time on the table
Getting sawed in half, yeah
Trying to do without it
I was digging a hole, now I'm filling it up
I try so hard, trying to do without your love
Your love, your love, oh
Keep trying to do without it
Trying to show a love, babe
Trying to do without it, your love
I try so hard, trying to do without your love
I try so hard, trying to do without your love, yeah
Try so hard, trying to do without your love
I've given up on give and take
Why feed the hand that slaps your face
You can't win for losin' your mind, yeah
No way to scratch a seven year itch
I've read your mind, baby, read my lips
I'm only human, of flesh and bone
What's the point of draggin' on
I'm trying to do without it
I gave you my heart for a stab in the back
I spent all my time on the table
Getting sawed in half
I'm better off than hanging by a thread

@[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.
Magical

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
