This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
And when you're feeling blue
No one to talk to you
And you don't know what to do
Then see if I care
Oh, you think nothing of me
Say that you don't love me
The time is coming
When you won't feel like you do now
You gonna call my name
You know that you're to blame
Oh, you won't be the same
Then see if I care
Mending slowly, all wounds, effortlessly
As the burden of his sunken child is lifted
But effortlessly again carried
Faintly to the stone heart of an angry son
An angry son who has done his swallowing
His memories are bitten pills
So many bitten pills that he has collected
Like the fallen pieces of the broken ground which he now moves on
This ground so unsettled, so endlessly unsettled
He recounted with the weight of the sunken earth
And still he moves on
This is Earth
Earth which he has moved on and collected, settled to his own liking
And still he moves on
A voice in the back of his head reminding him
That this is stolen, that this is not his
All these moments, this precious time spent, moments in gravity
All this anxious waiting
All this time spent waiting
All this pain that you know
All this effortless moving, all this pain that you will ever know
In waking hours, time spent in these moments
Though he is living, silently in moments
And forgiving relevance, it is in his heart he is holding
And calling behind sadness of empty fields
It is in these moments of time well spent, in these moments of gravity
This time well spent
A look to heaven, sighing tears of angels and a night sky
Racing
Racing, yelling softly
This is the moment
This is the moment
A look to heaven, sighing tears of angels and a night sky
This is the moment
Holding moments and forgiving relevance, it is in his heart
Calling behind the sadness of empty fields
All these moments of time, time well spent, time knows better
Behind tired eyes, behind tired eyes, I think he's waiting
Knowing your destiny, he calls him the angry son
This is the moment
This is the moment
This is the moment
This is the moment of truth
Running out of time
They don't know me, know me
They don't know me
This is the next last moment
I am the angry son
I am the angry son
I am the angry son
I am the angry son
This is the moment
This is the moment
I am the angry son
I am the angry son
I am the angry son
I am the angry son
Sighing tears of angels and a night sky, this is the moment
No one to talk to you
And you don't know what to do
Then see if I care
Oh, you think nothing of me
Say that you don't love me
The time is coming
When you won't feel like you do now
You gonna call my name
You know that you're to blame
Oh, you won't be the same
Then see if I care
Mending slowly, all wounds, effortlessly
As the burden of his sunken child is lifted
But effortlessly again carried
Faintly to the stone heart of an angry son
An angry son who has done his swallowing
His memories are bitten pills
So many bitten pills that he has collected
Like the fallen pieces of the broken ground which he now moves on
This ground so unsettled, so endlessly unsettled
He recounted with the weight of the sunken earth
And still he moves on
This is Earth
Earth which he has moved on and collected, settled to his own liking
And still he moves on
A voice in the back of his head reminding him
That this is stolen, that this is not his
All these moments, this precious time spent, moments in gravity
All this anxious waiting
All this time spent waiting
All this pain that you know
All this effortless moving, all this pain that you will ever know
In waking hours, time spent in these moments
Though he is living, silently in moments
And forgiving relevance, it is in his heart he is holding
And calling behind sadness of empty fields
It is in these moments of time well spent, in these moments of gravity
This time well spent
A look to heaven, sighing tears of angels and a night sky
Racing
Racing, yelling softly
This is the moment
This is the moment
A look to heaven, sighing tears of angels and a night sky
This is the moment
Holding moments and forgiving relevance, it is in his heart
Calling behind the sadness of empty fields

Behind tired eyes, behind tired eyes, I think he's waiting
Knowing your destiny, he calls him the angry son
This is the moment
This is the moment
This is the moment
This is the moment of truth
Running out of time
They don't know me, know me
They don't know me
This is the next last moment
I am the angry son
I am the angry son
I am the angry son
I am the angry son
This is the moment
This is the moment
I am the angry son
I am the angry son
I am the angry son
I am the angry son
Sighing tears of angels and a night sky, this is the moment

@[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 think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
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.
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield

I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
There are a few bits there that I don't agree with, here's my interpretation that I reckon is almost 100% correct (bar the missing bits).
Slowly mending old wounds, As the burden of his sunken child, I lifted and carried it, lifted and carried of, To the stone heart of the angry son, Who now stands before you. An angry son who has done the swallowing, Of twenty one years worth of bitten pills, Bitten pills he has collected, Like the fallen pieces, A broken ground which he now moves on, My ground so unsettled, The feet are counting with the weight of the sunken earth, Still he moves on, Pay no attention to angels sigh, It is not the stone land, It is not the stone land that makes me, It is the smile that I stole. How can you look upon a sky and say that you want a sky, How can you stand upon a land and say that you own a land, And we say, three times .... with the stolen (or stone) ..... And we say, three times .... with the stolen (or stone).....
All these effortless moments that we spend, In these moments in gravity, Time well spent like angels sighing for all, ... .... .... .... And still I am logged, This is not why I left, In these moments!
In these moments! In these moments!
Effortlessly angels sigh, And I stand and I do not believe, And I stand and I do not believe. Look me in the eye when you say that father, Look me in the eye when you say that father. How can you look upon a midnight sky and say that you own a midnight sky, ................................... ............things that you think you own. And I can look upon a shadow, ............................. Look at you father collecting your prizes, Your objects of desire Look at you father neglect our mother, Look at you father I remember everything that you said. Father. In the name of your dollar bill, In the name of your new house, that’s burned to the ground In the name of your dollar bill father, I remember everything that you said. Where is our mother, father. Standing silently trembling. I remember every word that you said father, I remember every word that you said. As I stand now I am the angry Son, father. Embracing an angry son, father. And I will remember every word that you said, father. Every word. I will remember every word that you said father, They go through my head. Our danged mother. And your many names father, and your many names. Sexism, racism, ethicism. And your many names father that we know you by, Mother stands trampled, mother stands lying on the ground bleeding. Where are you father?
But I am here father, I am the angry son. How could you stand here father? How could you stand here father?!
This is the moment! This is the moment!
I am the angry son, I am the angry son, I am the angry son, I am the angry son.
How could you say, it’s nothing, I am the angry son, I am the angry son.
How can you say that it’s nothing, How can you say that it’s nothing, I am the angry son, I am the angry son.
How can you say that it’s nothing, How can you say that it’s nothing, I am the angry son, I am the angry son.
How can you say, it’s nothing father How can you say, it’s nothing father, How can you say, it’s nothing father, I am the angry son.
