@[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.
You can tell by the way
She walks that she's my girl
You can tell by the way
She talks she woos the world
You can see in her eyes
That no one is her change
She's my girl
My supergirl
And then she'd say it's OK
I got lost on the way
But I'm a super girl
And super girls don't cry
And then she'd say it's alright
I got home late last night
But I'm a super girl
And super girls just fly
And then she'd say
That nothing can go wrong
When you're in love
What can be wrong?
And then she'd laugh
The night time into day
Pushing her fear
Further alone
And then she'd say it's OK
I got lost on the way
But I'm a super girl
And super girls don't cry
And then she'd say it's alright
I got home late last night
But I'm a super girl
And super girls just fly
And then she'd shout
Down the line
Tell me she's got no more time
'Cause she's a supergirl
And supergirl's don't cry
And then she'd scream in my face
Tell me to leave
Leave this place
'Cause she's a supergirl
And supergirl's just fly
Yeah she's a supergirl
A supergirl
She's so in seeds, she's burning trees
She's so in seeds, she's burning streams
Yeah she's a supergirl
A supergirl
A supergirl
My supergirl
She walks that she's my girl
You can tell by the way
She talks she woos the world
You can see in her eyes
That no one is her change
She's my girl
My supergirl
And then she'd say it's OK
I got lost on the way
But I'm a super girl
And super girls don't cry
And then she'd say it's alright
I got home late last night
But I'm a super girl
And super girls just fly
And then she'd say
That nothing can go wrong
When you're in love
What can be wrong?
And then she'd laugh
The night time into day
Pushing her fear
Further alone
And then she'd say it's OK
I got lost on the way
But I'm a super girl
And super girls don't cry
And then she'd say it's alright
I got home late last night
But I'm a super girl
And super girls just fly
And then she'd shout
Down the line
Tell me she's got no more time
'Cause she's a supergirl
And supergirl's don't cry
And then she'd scream in my face
Tell me to leave
Leave this place
'Cause she's a supergirl
And supergirl's just fly
Yeah she's a supergirl
A supergirl
She's so in seeds, she's burning trees
She's so in seeds, she's burning streams
Yeah she's a supergirl
A supergirl
A supergirl
My supergirl

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
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.
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
well, to me, this song is about a girl who has been doing everything by herself her entire life. she's never had someone to actually rely on, so she got used to being independent and to managing things on her own. and now here he is - the boy who wants to help her, who wants to cook her dinner and who wants to be with her. and she just can't let go of her old habits, even though he seems to understand her and even though he seems to be perfect for her. she just can't stay and has to move on on her own. which is pretty sad. but I love the lyrics.
@madrigal too me Its about a small girl/woman due to sad and ugly and terrible circumstances in her life unfortunately transformed to a covert Narcissist as a survive mechanism - redemption, and has acknowledge of the situation (deep down inside). This small girl now woman, after a long marathon of ups and downs in her extremely active life, finally meets a boy who knows he is the one, her true love who will stay besides her no matter what the circumstances. As much as she fears destroying this boy her love for him is stronger and wants to live the illusion with him as long as it goes before finaly deciding leaving him as her love for him is to big to keep him and destroy his life (as she views it). On the other hand this boy feels the same strong great karmic love for her as he sees through her and is willing to go through the rabbit hole with her as long as it takes and whatever the cost to his self is, as his love for her is greater than any fear he may has. <br /> However her fear/terror to work on her self is greater than lethal too her, she decides to give up as hard as it is. Preferring to surrender to her doomed self as a survival method and not risking living on her full potential of what life has to offer, for his own sake. Instead of facing her fears through therapy to manage them at a certain point (they never go fully away) (they never cannot change fully). <br /> As i understand the boy sings this song after the end of their story. Although it never really ends, the spark will always be there.
i think its about a girl who was hurt before, and finds it hard to let anyone in she leans on excuses such as "im a supergirl" and "im strong", and says she can deal with it alone the guy tries to commune with her but she blocks him out of fear for being hutr again i watched the clip... in there they make love, and in the end, just hug she tries to be free and be herself but she stops herself, just her human needs helped her a bit, and afterwards she couldnt help but to shut her emotions down again i love this song.
This song is probably about a girl the author/loves . He knows her vulnerabilities but repects her fora all she is. Although she tries not to cry or to show herself emotional, he knows her deep inside and for him she's definitely a supergirl... I also think it's a kind of hommage toall the "supergirls" who try to carry on whatever the circunstances(love pain,,,)
This song is very good, I can't understand why it never made to Australia...? I agree that it's about a girl that can't be happy..
I agree with romankazimir2003; the lines "she's sewing seeds, she's burning trees" seem to state that she first turns their world around and then leaves them with nothing. She doesn't realize that when you sew seeds a consequence is that a tree grows from that, methaphorically speaking. She's kind of all over the place.
It just seems to me that she's young and free-spirited, being the indepent girl who enjoys her freedom and shouldn't get into a relationship because she will never be able to make the commitment it requires. She's a tough one.
I think this song is about a girl who is unfaithful to her boyfriend and stonewalls him. It is about what she says, as an excuse for being late home.
work of art...
This song is very good, I can't understand why it never made to Australia...? I agree that it's about a girl that can't be happy..
you don't want to be that girl in the song... that i promise... she reminds me of the woman Kate Winslet played in eternal sunshine...
one of the best songs ever coming from germany...
i love this song, i think is how this guy sees the girl he loves, with all her qualities and how he feels about her. but one thing i don't get is the video if someone can explain me...
