If I were you
I wouldn't trust
A single word I say
I think by now
You should know
Nothing's gonna change
Can I ask you something
What did you expect?
So disappointed
With what you get
Do you ever want to
Just get out of here?
So disappointed
You disappear
Look at you, Superman
With all the world to save
You'd think by now
You'd figure out
That nothing's gonna change
And I am part of the reason
Can I ask you something
What did you expect?
So disappointed
With what you get
Do you ever want to
Just get out of here?
So disappointed
You disappear
I wouldn't trust
A single word I say
I think by now
You should know
Nothing's gonna change
Can I ask you something
What did you expect?
So disappointed
With what you get
Do you ever want to
Just get out of here?
So disappointed
You disappear
Look at you, Superman
With all the world to save
You'd think by now
You'd figure out
That nothing's gonna change
And I am part of the reason
Can I ask you something
What did you expect?
So disappointed
With what you get
Do you ever want to
Just get out of here?
So disappointed
You disappear

@[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.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
It seems like this is meant to be something Obama is saying. Read the lyrics that way and it makes a lot of sense to me.
You all expected change but you should have known better than to trust me, a politician. Nothing will change and you'll be disappointed.
I think the song is more introspective than the explanation given about Obama. Trent uses several personal pronouns throughout the song and I odubt he's refering to himself in the third person as Obama. The song is about women building up a hype for reznor based of prejudement before they really get to know him and when they finally get with him it's impossible for him to fulfil the what ever the womens expection that she had of him.
The verse look at you superman with all the world to save you'd think by now you'd figure out that nothing's going to change
Is about someone trying to change or fix reznor, but what did they expect? After all these years did you actually think he would change, then they are disappointed.
It's just nihilistic poetry up to the listeners interpretation. It could have different meanings for everyone. To me it suggests disappointment with mankind, "God", and the world. Also maybe a little sexual inadequacy but that's not the first thing that came to mind.
