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”
My clothes and all my makeup smeared
I'm looking crazy
Got numbers on my hand
I'm such a freaking lady
My mouth is dry
I'm feeling kinda grimmy
'Cause I got this hangover to remind me
Oh what a night, oh what a night
Straight shots of Patron and a slice of lime
And I got myself too drunk to drive
Oh what a night
I left my car parked at the club
Woke up in the morning can't find my truck
I barely made it home alive
Oh what a night
My rommie says I bought the club a round on my tab
And I was so far gone she had to call me a cab
But I won't let nobody tell me nothing
'Cause all in all I had that party rocking
Oh what a night, oh what a night
Straight shots of Patron and a slice of lime
And I got myself too drunk to drive
Oh what a night
I left my car parked at the club
Woke up in the morning can't find my truck
I barely made it home alive
Oh what a night
Well maybe I was trippin'
Just a little who am I?
Kidding, hanging with the boys too long
And I quit sipping
Look at me buying bottles
It's for my team
I don't do it for the models shit
I still remember hanging at the bar
Hoping I could get a drink or two
From a player or a star
And now I got my money in the ballas
I'll take your number but I'll probably never call you 'cause
Baby, I'm a lil' bit buzzed
And right now you look good in this club
But it could be a whole 'nother side
When they turn on the light,
They turn on the light
Oh what a night, oh what a night
Straight shots of Patron and a slice of lime
Done got myself too drunk to drive
Oh what a night
I left my car parked at the club
Woke up in the morning can't find my truck
I barely made it home alive
Oh what a night
Oh what a night, oh what a night
Straight shots of Patron and a slice of lime
Done got myself too drunk to drive
Oh what a night
I left my car parked at the club
Woke up in the morning can't find my truck
I barely made it home alive
Oh what a night
I hate to be a quitter,
But I'm thinking 'bout my liver
And the liquour that I give it
Is gonna kill me even quicker
And I'm already a natural disaster
Don't need nothing to be taking me no faster
I really gotta go and see my pastor
What a night
I'm looking crazy
Got numbers on my hand
I'm such a freaking lady
My mouth is dry
I'm feeling kinda grimmy
'Cause I got this hangover to remind me
Oh what a night, oh what a night
Straight shots of Patron and a slice of lime
And I got myself too drunk to drive
Oh what a night
I left my car parked at the club
Woke up in the morning can't find my truck
I barely made it home alive
Oh what a night
My rommie says I bought the club a round on my tab
And I was so far gone she had to call me a cab
But I won't let nobody tell me nothing
'Cause all in all I had that party rocking
Oh what a night, oh what a night
Straight shots of Patron and a slice of lime
And I got myself too drunk to drive
Oh what a night
I left my car parked at the club
Woke up in the morning can't find my truck
I barely made it home alive
Oh what a night
Well maybe I was trippin'
Just a little who am I?
Kidding, hanging with the boys too long
And I quit sipping
Look at me buying bottles

Baby, I'm a lil' bit buzzed
And right now you look good in this club
But it could be a whole 'nother side
When they turn on the light,
They turn on the light
Oh what a night, oh what a night
Straight shots of Patron and a slice of lime

Oh what a night

Woke up in the morning can't find my truck
I barely made it home alive
Oh what a night
Oh what a night, oh what a night

What a night

@[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.

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.
