reacclimate to my surroundings back in a city that just seems to eat itself All I really want to do is get back into you no tension no worries but every time it comes around I find gray ways to let you down I can't controal my insticts why can't I be happy just to call you a friend? I though things could be different maybe I could do some good come home spent to unemploy a past form Hollywood some things can change everything despite their rights and wrongs I'm getting reacquainted with my lower self redhead teach me compassion from your fragrant continent whail your're at it you can resurrect my family whail you're at it you can summon christ and part the seas whail you're at it you can polarize my chemicals I'm so sick of tryin to fight my body and you at the same time I am righteous in my anger! all I have to give you is my lower self oh how you are as petty as the postpunk kids you pity oh how you swear by the myth that you're not beautiful how nothing ever seems to work the way that it gets planned so we turn away from everyone that loves us hypnotized by waves out lives are deer blocking the lane we can just sit back and watch it all go up in flames Until every note every chord sounds the same it goes boom boom boom boom on my ego it goes boom boom boom boom for so long untill it hurts you more then it hurts me nothing ever seems to work the way that it gets planned so I will turn away from every thing that hurts me climb back into a cloud of smoke my face close to the flame cameras pulling back, leaving you left of the frame it's a party and your not invited.

@[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.
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.
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield

I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
Head > Heels
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.
My dear lord, this song is fantastic. I love how Ben is able to change the tone and feel of his songs to fit the emotion. So many bands just drone on with different variations of the same song.
i love the ending of this song.
Wow, Ben really has amazing lyrics.
You missed the best line...
"I am righteous in my anger! all I have to give you is my lower self We'll sing of how we made love like strangers all I have to sell you is my lower self "
Also it's spelled W-H-I-L-E
