Why would she make calls out the blue
Now I'm awake, sleep (Less in June

Hey, hey, hey, hey
Don't say you will, unless you will
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Don't say you will, then play you will, I pray you will

Hey, hey, hey, hey
Don't say you will, you do
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Don't say you will, one day you will, I pray you will

When I grab your neck, I touch your soul
Take off your cool, then lose control

Hey, hey, hey, hey
Don't say you will, you will, you will
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Don't say you will, if you will, I pray you will

I wish this song would really come true
(I wish this song would really come true
I wish this song, this song could play and could come true
I wish this song, "Say You Will," would come true, I wish this song)
I admit I still fantasize about you, about you
(I admit I, don't say, I admit I, don't say I admit I)

Hey, hey, hey, hey (I admit I, I admit I)
Don't say you will, you will, you will
(Say you will, don't say I, don't say I)
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Please say you will, for real, I pray you will

    Im guessing its def about his fiance and their breakup. The chorus symbolizes what Kanye feels and wants. He is still in denial and the versus of the songs are actually what he prays for. He fantasizes about being with her again but knows that it's impossible. The 808 kicks mixed with the beep also symbolize the heartbeat and sets the tone for the album. It's like he's in the hospital...then all of a sudden the beeps and 808s go away in the instrumental ending symbolizing that he died on the inside. They come back in to shed light that hes alive and that hes going to accept the truth even though it sucks.

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[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
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.
