Thanks For Nothing

Dope

Give me a break
From your take and your take
Come on and give me a break
What do you want from me
Feeding the rich
With that son of a bitch
Well that son of a bitch
He looks just like me

Thanks for nothing
Absolutely nothing
Thanks for all your bullshit too
Thanks for nothing
Positively nothing

Thanks for everything you didn't do
Thanks

Something for free
You got something from me
You want something for free
What do you want from me

Give me a break
With your take and your take

Come on and give me a break
What do you want from me
Yea, yea, yea
Thanks,
Yea, yea, yea
Thanks!!!

    My Interpretation

    To me this song is about a materialistic girlfriend who is given everything, the singer is identifying himself as a son of a bitch in retrospect for contributing to this in the first place, the girl doesn't realize how good she has it, and doesn't give anything back. So when it's all over he's looking back on it saying thanks for nothing. People get blinded by love. On both sides. Someone could be taking advantage of you and they may not even realize it because they're using money and material things to fill a void in the relationship.

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[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.

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
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.

Blue
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.
