@[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.
I remember days gone by
And what it was first like
To never think that it could end
Don't know what we were thinking
And I reflect upon that night
When we would breathe for the first time
To see that hands raised high
To one we'd give our lives
To this day
I wouldn't change a single thing
Except mistakes that separate
To feel again
The reason in what we give
The part, the role in which we live
I feel like something busting
Breaking out of it's own skin
I feel this child escaping
Outside of the heart of an old man
I feel like something ripping
And tearing off this callous
Revealing me
I never want it to end
This old feeling we're feeling again
I never want it to end
This old feeling we're feeling again
Through the seasons of it all
There were deserts that would fall
And there were peaks that we would climb
But in the valley's where we shined
We couldn't dream a better dream
The almighty called our name
And do something with nothing
And give purpose to melody
To this day
I wouldn't change a single thing
Except mistakes that separate
To feel again
The reason in what we give
The part, the role in which we live
I feel like something busting
Breaking out of it's own skin
I feel this child escaping
Outside of the heart of an old man
I feel like something ripping
And tearing off this callous
Revealing me
I never want it to end
This old feeling we're feeling again
I never want it to end
This old feeling we're feeling again
I never want it to end
This old feeling we're feeling again
I never want it to end
This old feeling we're feeling again
And what it was first like
To never think that it could end
Don't know what we were thinking
And I reflect upon that night
When we would breathe for the first time
To see that hands raised high
To one we'd give our lives
To this day
I wouldn't change a single thing
Except mistakes that separate
To feel again
The reason in what we give
The part, the role in which we live
I feel like something busting
Breaking out of it's own skin
I feel this child escaping
Outside of the heart of an old man
I feel like something ripping
And tearing off this callous
Revealing me
I never want it to end
This old feeling we're feeling again
I never want it to end
This old feeling we're feeling again
Through the seasons of it all
There were deserts that would fall
And there were peaks that we would climb
But in the valley's where we shined
We couldn't dream a better dream
The almighty called our name
And do something with nothing
And give purpose to melody
To this day
I wouldn't change a single thing
Except mistakes that separate
To feel again
The reason in what we give
The part, the role in which we live
I feel like something busting
Breaking out of it's own skin
I feel this child escaping
Outside of the heart of an old man
I feel like something ripping
And tearing off this callous
Revealing me
I never want it to end
This old feeling we're feeling again
I never want it to end
This old feeling we're feeling again
I never want it to end
This old feeling we're feeling again
I never want it to end
This old feeling we're feeling again

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.
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.
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.
One of my favorite songs on the new album. It's about how we praise God, and when we go through hard times He's there to strengthen us and give us purpose when we feel like giving up.
This is why I think that Christian rock songs are so awesome... because there is a real purpose behind their melody.
i agree wit both of you. and dont u think tat the solo sounds a little like the solo from breathe life by killswitch engage?
his voice sounds so good on this esp on the chorus
