@[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.
Don't be sad
What we had was so fine
Before we go let's go back
To where we met the first time
One last time around the floor
And I'll hold you like I did before
Take my hand I'll ask our friend in the band
Play something we can dance to
Play something nice and slow
Maybe while we're waltzing I can change you mind
While the lights are low
Hey mister steel guitar man can you make her cry
Play something we can dance to
Before we say goodnight
If you want
I'll drive you home just once more
Park the car then arm in arm
Walk you to the front door
I'll just let the motor run
Leave the windows down just for fun
You never know what we'll hear on the radio
They might
Don't be sad
What we had was so fine
Before we go let's go back
To where we met the first time
One last time around the floor
And I'll hold you like I did before
Take my hand I'll ask our friend in the band
Play something we can dance to
Play something nice and slow
Maybe while we're waltzing I can change you mind
While the lights are low
Hey mister steel guitar man can you make her cry
Play something we can dance to
Before we say goodnight
If you want
I'll drive you home just once more
Park the car then arm in arm
Walk you to the front door
I'll just let the motor run
Leave the windows down just for fun
You never know what we'll hear on the radio
They might
Play something we can dance to
Play something nice and slow
Maybe while we're waltzing I can change you mind
While the lights are low
Hey mister steel guitar man can you make her cry
Play something we can dance to
Before we say goodnight
What we had was so fine
Before we go let's go back
To where we met the first time
One last time around the floor
And I'll hold you like I did before
Take my hand I'll ask our friend in the band

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.
