@[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.
You were the last one to be saved.
So, don't be the last one to the parlor that Sunday.
'Cause now I, I like to think you are ashamed.
But I like to think.
And you thought when we think and we get away.
But as for you:
As for you,
you got lucky.
You got lucky once,
but that won't happen again.
But as for you,
you got lucky.
You got lucky once,
but that won't happen again.
And oh, those dirty hands,
come wash away my stink.
Come thank me for the offer.
You owe that much at least.
And oh, those filthy thoughts
that rattle in my brain.
The sticky on the sheets
is now this ugly on your face,
and there is no escape.
Don't you wish you had some more?
We hit the lights and hit the floor.
My bright, peculiar smile,
I want to see your hair
hanging from the trees.
Well, don't you wish you had some more?
'Cause it's just a matter of time before
the wicked cancer, I'm gonna get ya.
'Cause as for you,
you got lucky.
You got lucky once,
but that won't happen again.
But as for you,
you got lucky.
You got lucky once,
but that won't happen again.
And oh, those dirty hands,
come wash away my stink.
Come thank me for the offer.
You owe that much at least.
And oh, those filthy thoughts
that rattle in my brain.
The sticky on the sheets
is now this ugly on your face,
Oh, there is no escape,
those eyes that follow me.
So, tell me where you were last night,
sweetheart, don't lie to me.
And there is no cadence
from what i could release;
this nest of vipers on your face,
so now it's on your knees.
So, now it's on your knees.
There is no escape.
So, don't be the last one to the parlor that Sunday.
'Cause now I, I like to think you are ashamed.
But I like to think.
And you thought when we think and we get away.
But as for you:
As for you,
you got lucky.
You got lucky once,
but that won't happen again.
But as for you,

You got lucky once,

And oh, those dirty hands,

And oh, those filthy thoughts

The sticky on the sheets
is now this ugly on your face,

There is no escape.

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
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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.
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.
Page
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
what i get from it is that he fills that she owes something to him, because in a way she lead him on possibly? maybe they fooled around and he was under the impression that they were headed for more of an relationship. but she didn't want that
