@[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.
When I go to sleep I pray
I'm waking up to I got you babe
Like the guy from Groundhog Day
Just wanna live forever this way
Flash back to seventeen
Got my ass kicked by the football team
Another Loser on the scene
Every Guy With A Chick I Fancy
I asked you out for losing truth or dare
The guys were cracking up 'til you said yeah
Pinch me, is this real?
I'm on a one way ticket out of loserville
Now I'm off the social flat line
Things are so good that I'm
Taking down my star trek shrine
And you're more than just my valentine
You're my ticket outta loserville
She gives me butterflies
Says I'm not like all the other guys
Doesn't care what car I drive
She still enjoys the ride
When I got to sleep I know
That you'll be there tomorrow
And it gives me vertigo
It was just a week ago that
I asked you out for losing truth or dare
The guys were cracking up 'til you said yeah
Pinch me, is this real?
I'm on a one way ticket out of loserville
Now I'm off the social flat line
Things are so good that I'm
Taking down my star-trek shrine
You blew me out on a Sunday night
You were bored to tears pretending
Knew what you wanted and I'm nothing like the
Guy in your happy ending
Well you were wrong to lead me on
Now in the night I wake up screaming
Where the hell did I go wrong?
Where's Scotty when you need him?
Pinch me, is this real?
I'm on a one way ticket back to loserville
Heading for the social flat line
Things are so that bad
I'm dusting off my star trek shrine
This is where it ends and I can taste the glory
How can I depend
On a better story?
Made it, blew it, couldn't save it
Think about her all the time
It's like I never had her valentine
So I guess I better kiss goodbye to my ticket outta loserville
I'm waking up to I got you babe
Like the guy from Groundhog Day
Just wanna live forever this way
Flash back to seventeen
Got my ass kicked by the football team
Another Loser on the scene
Every Guy With A Chick I Fancy
I asked you out for losing truth or dare
The guys were cracking up 'til you said yeah
Pinch me, is this real?
I'm on a one way ticket out of loserville
Now I'm off the social flat line
Things are so good that I'm
Taking down my star trek shrine
And you're more than just my valentine
You're my ticket outta loserville

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.
