@[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.
Never wanted to feel
Never wanted you to steal my heart
Never wanted to know
Never wanted to show I'm weak
I'm falling all over myself
Trying to be someone else
I wish you would dare to walk me home
So I wouldn't have to feel alone
Always wanted to be
Always wanted you to see my heart
Always wanted your love
Always wanted but never was
I'm falling all over myself
Trying to be someone else
I wish you would dare to walk me home
So I wouldn't have to feel alone
I'm falling all over myself
Dying to be someone else
I wish you would dare to walk me home
I don't wanna fight the world alone
Never told you before
Never loved you more
I'm falling all over myself
Trying to be someone else
I wish you would dare to walk me home
So I wouldn't have to feel alone
I'm falling all over myself
Dying to be someone else
I wish you would dare to walk me home
I don't wanna fight the world alone (x3)
Never wanted you to steal my heart
Never wanted to know
Never wanted to show I'm weak
I'm falling all over myself
Trying to be someone else
I wish you would dare to walk me home
So I wouldn't have to feel alone
Always wanted to be
Always wanted you to see my heart
Always wanted your love
Always wanted but never was
I'm falling all over myself
Trying to be someone else
I wish you would dare to walk me home
So I wouldn't have to feel alone
I'm falling all over myself
Dying to be someone else
I wish you would dare to walk me home
I don't wanna fight the world alone
Never told you before
Never loved you more
I'm falling all over myself
Trying to be someone else
I wish you would dare to walk me home
So I wouldn't have to feel alone
I'm falling all over myself
Dying to be someone else
I wish you would dare to walk me home
I don't wanna fight the world alone (x3)

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
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.
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 think the song is about someone feeling more passionate about someone than the other person does in a relationship and you're trying to give them your all but they give you half in return.
This song is incredibly painful, but very relatable today to many. I think this song is about a girl who has endured a lot of heartbreak and goes through it once again. The beginning alludes to the fact that she has been through this before. She, "never wanted to feel" "never wanted to show she was weak". Because she has been in that place before, and would rather be numb. And still she can't stay away from this person. So she is "falling all over herself" trying to prove her worth once again to this individual. She's even trying to be the girl this person wants, "Trying to be someone else". But, it's still not enough, for this person doesn't dare get close to her. They keep their distance as they refuse to walk her home. Home being a place where they could really get to know about who she is and what she stands for. She always wanted their heart. But knows, "she never was". In other words, she's not good enough again, and this person is just stringing her along or using her. She knows this, but almost refuses to acknowlege it. So, in a last attempt before she leaves she confesses her feelings even though she already knows they don't feel the same. "Never told you before Never loved you more". So despite the fact that she knows they could care less about her she loves them and has done everything she could to love them well. At the end, I interpret that she sets off alone as expected. She's "dying to be someone else". As she sees how others don't have to "fight the world alone" as she does. She sees how they are happy and how they know love, something she has only given but never received.
'I wish you were dead and walk me home'
shouldn't it be : wish you would dare to walk me home
Listening to Taylor sing this live, you can just hear the emotion in her voice. I got a knot in my chest hearing it the first time, and I'm not even in a heart broken state at the moment. :| This is probably my favorite from them so far.
I think the song is about a girl, she never wanted to fall in love, or really know what it was like to be broken because of it, but now she has no choice. This guy really messed her up.
I always thought it would be:
"I wish you were THERE to walk me home, so I wouldn't have to feel alone"
it would make more sense, especially if the song is about someone who had died .... why would she 'dare' to walk her home?
I love this song so much, even if it is kind of "lovey." The Pretty Reckless is fucking great. Yes, it sounds as though she is reminiscing about someone she loved who died; that they aren't there to walk her home.
I think it's about a death, or an unrequited love
i think this song is about loving someone you shouldn't, such as same sex realationship she 'Never wanted to feel,Never wanted you to steal my heart' she wants to change who she is? 'I'm falling all over myself Trying to be someone else,I wish you would dare to walk me home,So i wouldn't have to feel alone' but she also wants this person to feel the same, she has always wanted to feel their love but never has. this is what i think anyway
