This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
I can't wait until your real friends show up
The plan is that they'll make me think a lot less of you
so I can make myself think of you
a lot less in excess
Get into it, it's an empty age
And if I'm laconic, you're literary
So I'd love to hear what you've got to say
but I'd have
to take your tongue
out of my mouth.
So let's reembrace the narrative age,
let's sell ourselves short,
let's get down with the common era,
let's cut each other up.
Let's cut each other...
You're in love with yourself and I'm not
knockin that
narcissism that calls your shot
of vanity
so let's revel in
it's the nineties,
you're as hot as an oven;
I'm in my
element.
And that's nothin short of abstract
all obvious and so impermanent,
in fact,
I'm looking forward to
our wedding
but easily as forward to
forgetting about you.
So let's reembrace the narrative age,
Let's sell ourselves short,
Let's go down with the modern era,
let's cut each other up.
Let's reembrace the narrative age,
let's sell ourselves short,
let's get down with this fallen era,
let's cut each other up.
The plan is that they'll make me think a lot less of you
so I can make myself think of you
a lot less in excess
Get into it, it's an empty age
And if I'm laconic, you're literary
So I'd love to hear what you've got to say
but I'd have
to take your tongue
out of my mouth.
So let's reembrace the narrative age,
let's sell ourselves short,
let's get down with the common era,
let's cut each other up.
Let's cut each other...
You're in love with yourself and I'm not
knockin that
narcissism that calls your shot
of vanity
so let's revel in
it's the nineties,
you're as hot as an oven;
I'm in my
element.
And that's nothin short of abstract
all obvious and so impermanent,
in fact,
I'm looking forward to
our wedding
but easily as forward to
forgetting about you.
So let's reembrace the narrative age,
Let's sell ourselves short,
Let's go down with the modern era,
let's cut each other up.
Let's reembrace the narrative age,
let's sell ourselves short,
let's get down with this fallen era,
let's cut each other up.

@[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
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.
Magical

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.
