@[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.
Keith Urban, Mister Worldwide
They say life is short
So, I'ma live it up
Tonight it's going down
'Til the sun comes up
Two a.m. and I'm about to lose my mind
The way she's moving that black dress
Like her hips are on fire
There in the headlights
Dancin' like she's in a movie scene
To die for and it's killin' me
Stars are out
But they're fadin' fast
Gotta make it last
And I'm so close to heaven
So, just hold your light
'Cause I need the night
Sun don't let me down
She's almost in my arms right now
I know you gotta rise for the birds to sing
But I need the moonlight to do my thing
Sun don't let me down
(Sun don't let me down)
Don't let me down
(Sun don't let me down)
Hey, don't get me wrong
I like the way you shine
I know you love kissin' on her skin
But it's my turn tonight
Starin' at her lips
Playin' with my name
Whispering, come to me
She's pulling me in
Like I'm on a chain
Stars are out
Yeah, they're in the sky
Like they're in her eyes
I think I found my heaven
But just have a heart
Stay where you are
Sun don't let me down
She's almost in my arms right now
I know you gotta rise for the birds to sing
But I need the moonlight to do my thing
Sun don't let me down
(Sun don't let me down)
Don't let me down, don't let me down
(Sun don't let me down)
Life is short so I'm livin' it up
Tonight it's goin' down, yeah, 'til the sun comes up
Then we do it all again, 'cause we ain't givin' a wha
And all the women at the party givin' it up
Time is money and I ain't wastin' no time
So, fill my cup up with Voli, water and lime
Take a shot for the soldiers in the field
Thanks for the freedom and that's for real
Tonight we're getting hammered, banged-up and tanked
That means get off the chain, let loose and drank
Mommy wanna play the adult version of Truth-or-Dare
So, I took her to the back and pulled her hair, yeah
Sun don't let me down
She's almost in my arms right now
I know you gotta rise for the birds to sing
But I need the moonlight to do my thing
Sun don't let me down
(Sun don't let me down)
She's almost in my arms right now
I know you gotta rise for the birds to sing
But I need the moonlight to do my thing
Sun don't let me down, no, oh
Don't let me down
Don't let me down (sun don't, sun don't)
Don't come around
Stay underground
No, no, don't let me down
(Sun don't let me down)
They say life is short
So, I'ma live it up
Tonight it's going down
'Til the sun comes up

No Surprises
Radiohead
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.
