@[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.
Girl (It's all over)
This time (It's all over)
I swear (It's all over)
on my name (Yes it's all over)
believe (It's all over)
that baby it's all over now
(It's all over, this time)
Thought I was made for you
and you believed in me
I thought this was how love was meant to be
didn't know it
but you were foolin' me around, oh
You had a hold on me
I was too blind to see
Could've been yours for eternity
Didn't see it
`til it was all up in my face, ah no-no
Do you recall the times that we shared
moments alone and your promises but
now the days are gone
now you're on your own tonight
never again cos
CHORUS
Now I know the truth
It really hurts inside
cos every lie just twists the knife
the way I'm feelin'
there's just no remedy
Do you recall the times that we shared
moments alone and your promises but
now the days are gone
now you're on your own tonight
never again cos
CHORUS
Ya hit me with the truth
hit me with the raw fact
put me on my back what you gotta say to that
You got me with your lies
I was thinking we were set
counting every second every day since we met
Remember in the times when we used to have it all
but then came the fall feeling like we hit a brick wall
Now You can keep it the lies in my ears
You're gonna shed tears as your man disappears
Yo! Sit back and let me do my thing
Laced with the click with the 5 on the swing
I'm not the one who's gonna be plagued by your kind
24-7 girl it's time to rewind
It's over just like a wack track you can't get with this
so you gotta get with that
No doubt in my mind the base so phatt
baby let me bring it on wiggy wack now
CHORUS
This time (It's all over)
I swear (It's all over)
on my name (Yes it's all over)
believe (It's all over)
that baby it's all over now
(It's all over, this time)
Thought I was made for you

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.

Somewhere Only We Know
Keane
Keane
Per the FAQ on Keane's website, Keane's drummer Richard Hughes, stated the following:
"We've been asked whether "Somewhere Only We Know" is about a specific place, and Tim has been saying that, for him, or us as individuals, it might be about a geographical space, or a feeling; it can mean something individual to each person, and they can interpret it to a memory of theirs... It's perhaps more of a theme rather than a specific message... Feelings that may be universal, without necessarily being totally specific to us, or a place, or a time..."
With the nostalgic sentiment and the overall tone of the song, I think Keane is attempting to express a Portuguese term known as 'saudade', which does not have a direct English translation but roughly means "that which we remember because it is gone."
