@[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.
In the beginning there was semen,
In a deep mound of flesh,
And a crest that traveled,
On a wave of their own mess.
Through a tunnel of mucus,
And onto a vault,
With tourists and traffic,
I just paced myself.
Not I as my whole self,
Just the half that I had,
Before greeting the rest,
Of my better half.
A connection was made,
Through the shared love of science,
And vows were taken,
A seat was hired.
A cavern of fluid,
Brought shape to my hide,
In the months that remain,
To the time of my life.
Add flash for the reason,
Was spilling from the crack,
To the palms of the doctor,
To a towel full of scraps.
My brains wouldn't fit,
Through organ sex,
An incision was made,
With a scalpel and mess.
I should have noticed the beauty,
And not how it hurt,
Wet like a cherry,
In the bloodbath of birth.
In a deep mound of flesh,
And a crest that traveled,
On a wave of their own mess.
Through a tunnel of mucus,
And onto a vault,
With tourists and traffic,
I just paced myself.
Not I as my whole self,
Just the half that I had,
Before greeting the rest,
Of my better half.
A connection was made,
Through the shared love of science,
And vows were taken,
A seat was hired.
A cavern of fluid,
Brought shape to my hide,
In the months that remain,
To the time of my life.
Add flash for the reason,
Was spilling from the crack,
To the palms of the doctor,
To a towel full of scraps.
My brains wouldn't fit,
Through organ sex,
An incision was made,
With a scalpel and mess.
I should have noticed the beauty,
And not how it hurt,
Wet like a cherry,
In the bloodbath of birth.

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.

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.

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.
this song cracks me up because of its opening line. i can't help it
<3
I think the meaning of this song is obvious...it's about birth.
So great.
Well technically it's not about birth as she has a C section. The part of the song that I can't really figure out is the very end.
i should have noticed the beauty and not how it hurt wet like a cherry in a bloodbath of birth
Though as I'm thinking about it, it's probably about the child covered in birth fluids after being removed from the mother.
It seems like a more "darker" side of birth.. how everyone makes birth seem to be a very happy thing to happen or how having babies is a good thing. LOL.. not saying that it's exactly BAD.. but they never really describe how much they really go through with it.
at first i didn't like this song that well. but after seeing them preform it, with the slide show with images of babies, etc. and how it was the first song they preformed (birth of a new era?), i really like it now.
good song.
i think the part about the incision is a reference to an episiotomy (slicing open the perineum) which is done so that a baby will fit through the "organ of sex".
i think the dude got chick preg. and he should have worn protection, eh but what do i know
It's his vision of his own birth? and I agree about the episiotomy
I like this song the best out of all their songs. The simplicity makes it quite disturbing.... and how they arrange the music just adds to it. Once you think about it, its something we're used to hearing. But the way they made the song just makes it quite grim. Ironic, huh?
