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.
My baby, there's something you should know
About me, before you propose
Although we have know each other for quite a while
Whenever you need me
I'm gonna try to make it through to you
But I'm not always ready to
When you are not watching
I prepare myself for you
But I worry that I might have been misunderstood
I gotta tell you
I wanna tell you
I can be lazy
but I'll try not to
Maybe I'm not a very honest person
Right now you're sure that you love me
But are you really sure that you know all about me
Up and down and down, down, down, down we go
My baby, a lot could happen before tomorrow
Think about the pain before you take another dose
Who knows if it could be good for you after all
Whatever you give me I'm gonna try to give you something new
Not something you've already chewed
When you are not watching
I prepare myself for you
Because this could be good
What's bugging you
I gotta tell you
I wanna tell you
I can be crazy when I don't want to, oh
Maybe I'm not a very honest person
What if I don't want a baby yet
Is it okay if I'm not cute and naive
Up and down and down, down, down, down we go
This could be good
So I gotta tell you
I wanna tell you
You can be shady
Whatcha goin' through?
Maybe you're not a very honest person
You say you're sure that you love me
How could that be when you keep so much from me
Turn the tables 'round,'round and 'round we go
Right now you're sure that you love me
But are you really ready to know more about me
Up and down and down
'Round and 'round and 'round where do we go
About me, before you propose
Although we have know each other for quite a while
Whenever you need me
I'm gonna try to make it through to you
But I'm not always ready to
When you are not watching
I prepare myself for you
But I worry that I might have been misunderstood
I gotta tell you
I wanna tell you
I can be lazy
but I'll try not to
Maybe I'm not a very honest person
Right now you're sure that you love me
But are you really sure that you know all about me
Up and down and down, down, down, down we go
My baby, a lot could happen before tomorrow
Think about the pain before you take another dose
Who knows if it could be good for you after all
Whatever you give me I'm gonna try to give you something new
Not something you've already chewed
When you are not watching
I prepare myself for you
Because this could be good
What's bugging you
I gotta tell you
I wanna tell you
I can be crazy when I don't want to, oh
Maybe I'm not a very honest person
What if I don't want a baby yet
Is it okay if I'm not cute and naive
Up and down and down, down, down, down we go
This could be good
So I gotta tell you
I wanna tell you
You can be shady
Whatcha goin' through?
Maybe you're not a very honest person
You say you're sure that you love me
How could that be when you keep so much from me
Turn the tables 'round,'round and 'round we go
Right now you're sure that you love me
But are you really ready to know more about me
Up and down and down
'Round and 'round and 'round where do we go

@[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.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
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.
This song is definitely about the ugliness we all have inside of us. In this song, Utada recognizes her own ugliness, asks if her lover is ready to face that, then points out his own ugliness. This song to me captures that critical moment of love when we ask ourselves "Wait, why does this person love me? Why do I love them? Do I really know them?" Definitely my favorite song of hers. Just so rich and the meaning will always stay.
There are two mistakes in the lyrics "Who knows if it could be good for you after all" There's no "quite" before the word good
And "Is it okay if I'm not cute and naive" Not cute at night.
Anyway, this song has a lot of meaning to it, she seems to be pointing out questions that aren't really asked in marriage, and being fully honest about herself and the way she feels about her love interest.
"You can be shady, what you going through?" "Baby you're not a very honest person, you say you're sure that you love me, how could that be when you keep so much from me?"
She also points out that you don't always know everything about the person you're proposing to, you know most, but not enough to say you know them inside and out. "Are you really ready to know more about me?"
I like the song except for the "Up and down" I do not like the way it sounds.
this song is really good
