This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
Never had much faith in love or miracles
Yeah, I was dreaming for too long
There's no religion that could save me
So I let it all go, oh, oh
How did I read the stars so wrong?
And I can't believe you don't know
Which way is right and which way is wrong
And you should know that
It ain't hard to tell you don't know
So come on
Let's set the world on fire
Tonight
I hear your heartbeat
Tonight
We could burn brighter
Shine bright
Carry me home tonight
Yeah, I was in the dark
Looking for somebody
Still stuck in that time
I used to know
And I'm not sleeping now
I'm wide awake
I'll be waking up
I get a feeling I am born again
I can't wait to see the light
I'm born again tonight
And I can't believe you don't know
All those fairy tales are full of it
They were never true, never true
It ain't hard to tell you don't know
So come on
Let's set the world on fire
Tonight
I hear your heartbeat
Tonight
We could burn brighter
Shine bright
Carry me home tonight
I set fire
Tonight
I'm letting go tonight
Let's make the most of the night
Dancing to the beat of the drums
In the sky
Hey!
Carry me home tonight
Just carry me home tonight
Will someone come and carry me home?
Tonight
And it feels like I am somebody that I used to know
I like crazy, foolish, stupid
Gangnam Style
Fist pumping music
Two oh!
1 2's it
how we do'z it
I gotta say that but the music
Let's do this one more time!
I set the world on fire
Tonight
I hear your heartbeat
Tonight
We could burn brighter
Footsteps even lighter
Than the sun
Starships were meant to fly
Let's do this one last time
Let's make the most of the night
Dancing to the beat of the drums
In the sky
Let's set the world on fire
Can't stop 'cause we're so high
Let's do this one last time
Let's make the most of the night
Dancing to the beat of the drums
In the sky
Spend the rest of my days here
I'll carry you home
Tonight
Yeah, I was dreaming for too long
There's no religion that could save me
So I let it all go, oh, oh
How did I read the stars so wrong?
And I can't believe you don't know
Which way is right and which way is wrong
And you should know that
It ain't hard to tell you don't know
So come on
Let's set the world on fire
Tonight
I hear your heartbeat
Tonight
We could burn brighter
Shine bright
Carry me home tonight
Yeah, I was in the dark
Looking for somebody
Still stuck in that time
I used to know
And I'm not sleeping now
I'm wide awake
I'll be waking up
I get a feeling I am born again
I can't wait to see the light
I'm born again tonight
And I can't believe you don't know
All those fairy tales are full of it
They were never true, never true
It ain't hard to tell you don't know

Spend the rest of my days here
I'll carry you home
Tonight

@[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 think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
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.
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield

I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
