This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
You say you don't want to run and hide
A face that no one knows
And everyone you meet, you're gonna show
You're nobody's slave, nobody's chains are holdin' you
You hold your fist up high
And rule the zoo
Oh, you just got to be
Up high where the whole world's watchin' me
'Cause I, I got the guts to be somebody
To cry out
I wanna be somebody
Be somebody soon
I wanna be somebody
Be somebody too
I wanna be somebody
Be somebody soon
I wanna be somebody
Be somebody too
You say you don't want to starve
Or take the table crumbs that fall
You don't want to beg or plead at all
You don't want no nine to five
Your fingers to the bone
You don't want the rock piles, bloody stones
Oh, you just got to be
Up high where the whole world's watchin' me
'Cause I, I got the guts to be somebody
To cry out
I wanna be somebody
Be somebody soon
I wanna be somebody
Be somebody too
I wanna be somebody
Be somebody soon
I wanna be somebody
Be somebody too
(I want) shiny cars and dirty money
Lots of rock and roll
(I will) live in fame and die in flames
I'm never getting old
I wanna be somebody
Be somebody soon
I wanna be somebody
Be somebody too
I wanna be somebody
Be somebody soon
I wanna be somebody
Be somebody too
I wanna be somebody
Be somebody soon
I wanna be somebody
Be somebody too
I'm gonna be somebody
I'm gonna be somebody
A face that no one knows
And everyone you meet, you're gonna show
You're nobody's slave, nobody's chains are holdin' you
You hold your fist up high
And rule the zoo
Oh, you just got to be
Up high where the whole world's watchin' me
'Cause I, I got the guts to be somebody
To cry out
I wanna be somebody
Be somebody soon
I wanna be somebody
Be somebody too
I wanna be somebody
Be somebody soon
I wanna be somebody
Be somebody too
You say you don't want to starve
Or take the table crumbs that fall
You don't want to beg or plead at all
You don't want no nine to five
Your fingers to the bone
You don't want the rock piles, bloody stones
Oh, you just got to be
Up high where the whole world's watchin' me
'Cause I, I got the guts to be somebody
To cry out
I wanna be somebody
Be somebody soon
I wanna be somebody
Be somebody too
I wanna be somebody
Be somebody soon
I wanna be somebody
Be somebody too
(I want) shiny cars and dirty money
Lots of rock and roll
(I will) live in fame and die in flames
I'm never getting old
I wanna be somebody
Be somebody soon
I wanna be somebody
Be somebody too
I wanna be somebody
Be somebody soon
I wanna be somebody
Be somebody too
I wanna be somebody
Be somebody soon
I wanna be somebody
Be somebody too
I'm gonna be somebody
I'm gonna be somebody

@[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

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.

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.
ive never heard this orginial version, ive only heard to cover by Witchery. awesome song though i wanna hear the original and I cant find music from WASP anywhere...
