This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
I did everything you did to me to you
But I?m out of ammunition
So I?ll take these words and fire then into your chest
Find a new place for them to rest
I Sieze up your insides scarring your flesh
Open up and let them in
I?ll write your name across the wall
With all the blood that spills from my heart
Break my limbs and strech my skin
Until my hands can
reach across the floor
Feel for this pile of broken glass
I?ll hand you the sharpest one
To place it right in my back
Yeah!
You did everything to me I did to you
This is the last song that your getting
Cuz we?re through
The only thing left perfect
Was things we put between us
Cuz you know I?m always right
And your postcards are saying
How good it feels not to have you here
I?ll write your name across the wall
With all the blood that spills from my heart
Break my limbs and strech my skin
Until my hands can
reach across the floor
Feel for this pile of broken glass
I?ll hand you the sharpest one
To place it right in my back
So far so good
It takes a miracle
You?re only half as good as someone to hear me in this well
Your last word isn?t
I?ll write your name across the wall
With all the blood that spills from my heart
Break my limbs and strech my skin
Until my hands can
reach across the floor
Feel for this pile of broken glass
I?ll write your name across the wall
With all the blood that spills from my heart
Break my limbs and strech my skin
Until my hands can
reach across the floor
Feel for this pile of broken glass
I?ll hand you the sharpest one
To place it right in my back
But I?m out of ammunition
So I?ll take these words and fire then into your chest
Find a new place for them to rest
I Sieze up your insides scarring your flesh
Open up and let them in
I?ll write your name across the wall
With all the blood that spills from my heart
Break my limbs and strech my skin
Until my hands can
reach across the floor
Feel for this pile of broken glass
I?ll hand you the sharpest one
To place it right in my back
Yeah!
You did everything to me I did to you
This is the last song that your getting
Cuz we?re through
The only thing left perfect
Was things we put between us
Cuz you know I?m always right
And your postcards are saying
How good it feels not to have you here
I?ll write your name across the wall
With all the blood that spills from my heart
Break my limbs and strech my skin
Until my hands can
reach across the floor
Feel for this pile of broken glass
I?ll hand you the sharpest one
To place it right in my back
So far so good
It takes a miracle
You?re only half as good as someone to hear me in this well
Your last word isn?t
I?ll write your name across the wall
With all the blood that spills from my heart
Break my limbs and strech my skin
Until my hands can
reach across the floor
Feel for this pile of broken glass
I?ll write your name across the wall
With all the blood that spills from my heart
Break my limbs and strech my skin
Until my hands can
reach across the floor
Feel for this pile of broken glass
I?ll hand you the sharpest one
To place it right in my back

@[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.
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.
Page
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
whats with all the question marks?
hehe...........hehe..........WTF?
good fucking song though with or without the "?" marks.
Halifax rocks!
I'll write your name across the wall With all the blood that spills from my heart Break my limbs and strech my skin Until my hands can reach across the floor Feel for this pile of broken glass I'll hand you the sharpest one To place it right in my back its sang so beautiful
I can't believe there hasn't been as many comments on this song. Its the first song I heard by Halifax and what made me realize what an amazing band they are. I haven't been listening to them too long so I don't know too much about them, but I think the song is another break up song. By looking at the chorus, she has no feelings for him anymore, yet he still cares for her greatly. Then at other times he's glad she's gone...
"You did everything to me I did to you This is the last song that your getting Cuz we're through The only thing left perfect Was things we put between us Cuz you know I?m always right And your postcards are saying How good it feels not to have you here"
I think its just a song about his mixed feelings about this girl.
this song is sooooooooooooooooooooo f*** awesome!
Decent song.
