Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

the industry did micheal jackson greasy
brandy wasn't selling so she put her
pregnancy on tv.
cash money refused to fly
baby said f it man i'm taking juvenille's spot
christina ag she turned in to a slut piece
for her record to sell she let out all of her butt cheeks
rap girls take a lesson from that
cause nobody remembers the girl that
made my neck and my back
and hip-hop was at it again
suge (shook) came home and slick rick went back in
man ya'll took it to the streets again
but this year alot of ya'll called beef again
jd and dre started of dissin
and then they stopped when they
figured out that nobody was listenin
then the irs holled jd's cash off

and flex almost got banned when he saw
stef levva he tried to speak with his hands
and stef thugged him like i ain't bout to get played
he drove straight to the precinct like i'm bout to get payed
p.diddy kept cruisin
you wouldn't think half of the year he
didn't even have distribution
ya'll can front like ya'll don't care
but this year goddamn man diddy was everywhere
and designers made double
we gotta burry burberry we can't wear that no more
and jersey's is next on the list
ya'll was wearing throw backs of playa's that don't even exist
shot out to clipse' they kept it on time
and hardest record of the year that would have to be grindin'
and em became the elvis of rapping
justin tried to do it with black music
ehhhh didn't happen
man this year was a trip
and j.lo and ben will be over by the time ya'll hear this
war time bush wanted action
but we was to busy worry about what missy was saying backwards
snoop stopped smoking indo
micheal jackson put his baby out the window
hot whip, the escalade

the get back at the industry award goes to cam'ron

i watched 3lw grow up and turn into destiny's child
and that wasn't expected
them broads lost one member and couldn't sell one record
scarface made a classic
mike tyson got his ass kicked
a lot of rapper's kept faking
beyonce did a lot of datin
kelly rushed her album off a joint with nelly
and got the same results that hype got when he made belly
she still look hot half the time
funniest video of the year well that would have to be mine
production, my man's and them got down
that would be the neptunes they got that hands down
by the rules you gotta play
and i swear that bet got's stock in b2k
but that's another conversation
and tweet know damn well that oops was about masturbation
best of both worlds was sloppy
but damn it still sold a million copies
i was told by the tour artists it's okay to cut
but you know how much tour money that you just messed up
man this year was still gunnin
and 50, 50 came back like umm uh

@[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
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.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
