@[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, I can't imagine what you're going through
But I can have my ideas
The breath escapes me
We're gonna take this all night
My words fall so short
I'm not gonna take this
You don't have it in you
Go on, go on
I still feel nothing but a ghost
These nights leave me broken
I'm done with promises
Everyday we move so far away
Leave
I'm begging on my hands and knees
Ohh
Just to prove you wrong
You feel so much pressure just to keep me here
I hope this door finds you well
Can you smell it in the air
A recurring storm of your words
What's done is done
Feels like I'm already gone
This is exactly what I need
But you keep pushing
Pushing me away
My hands are shaking
We're gonna take this all night
I've felt this before
I'm not gonna take this
You don't have it in you
Go on, go on
You don't have it in you
Leave
I'm begging on my hands and knees
Ohh
Just to prove you wrong
You feel so much pressure just to keep me here
I hope this door finds you well
(This place has left me a grave)
Oh yeah this circling drains me and my head's spinning
It's all the same goes around and around and around
Oh yeah this circling drains me and my head's spinning
It's all the same goes around and around and around
Leave
I'm begging on my hands and knees
Ohh
Just to prove you wrong
You feel so much pressure just to keep me here
I hope this door finds you well
Leave
Leave
I'm begging on my hands and knees
Ohh
Just to prove you wrong
You feel so much pressure just to keep me here
I hope this door finds you well
I hope this door finds you
But I can have my ideas
The breath escapes me
We're gonna take this all night
My words fall so short
I'm not gonna take this
You don't have it in you
Go on, go on
I still feel nothing but a ghost
These nights leave me broken
I'm done with promises
Everyday we move so far away
Leave
I'm begging on my hands and knees
Ohh
Just to prove you wrong
You feel so much pressure just to keep me here
I hope this door finds you well
Can you smell it in the air
A recurring storm of your words
What's done is done
Feels like I'm already gone
This is exactly what I need

You don't have it in you

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.

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.
I Love this song so much!!!
It's funny how wrong I was when I first heard this song. The only lyrics I could really make out were the first couple of lines and "I'm begging on my hands and knees just to prove you wrong." I thought maybe it was about trying to prove to someone that they can get through a situation even when they have no faith...but then looking at the rest of the lyrics, it's not about that.
this song is legit no doubt about it <333 i lovee it
I personally think, this song is about a couple, and shes hurting him all the time, taking him for granted, she promises him things and yet she doesnt deliver any of the time etc, and now hes finally had enough and tries to break up with her. Its killing him to do it, as he still loves her, but he already feels dead to her, hence "I still feel nothing but a ghost"
im probably wrong so correct me if i am but yeah, truly amazing song
I agree with Winni on this one. Im sad they lost their singer to ADTR!! cuz Four Letter Lie's new cd wasn't nearly as fun. But this song really hits me, because i can completely relate. There was this girl i had been trying to get for a long time, and she kept me interested in her, and like dropped hints that it would go somewhere. Turned out she had just been using me, and I had refused to see it for a long time. So eventually, i just got fed up and was like no im not letting this happen anymore. It was so hard to do, and i still have so much trouble telling her no, because im a sucker for cute girls. I think this song is kind of a similar situation, she has been taking him for granted for too long, and just takes and takes without ever giving anything back, but hes too nice of a guy to stop her. When he finally does, its like it hits him how bad it was, so now hes completely done with her. Now, shes just a ghost to him.
Honestly one of my all time favorite songs. I'm still surprised nobody really listened to them back when this came out.. they were good
I KNOWW!! its really sad they lost him, because i thought that as a band, they were rediculous good. and NOBODY listened to them back then, now though ive gotten tons of people into them, and everyones sad they wont be as good haha<br /> <br /> But i completely feel you. Thats exactly the situation i was in for about 5 months.. and one day i was drivin around listenin to this song, and when it hit that little break with "This place has left me a grave", it finally kinda clicked.
