@[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.
Someone tell me why
Would an angel
Pull the feathers from her wings
Pluck the feathers from her wings
Did she soar too high
Lost all control
When altitude she strives more
It's passing youth she's dying for
She'd sever every helping hand
Says I'm too strong to take this threat
I've buried myself in past failures
Never again my angel
Never again will wounds be left opened
Never again my angel
Never again will you fall from Heaven
So run away
You're good at that
Heart wrapped in thorns
So reclusive
And stow away to places that bear no name
And I swear they'll never find you
Independent
Walk casual
A veil disguising your appeal
A veil depriving all who's real
Once it is shed
Air becomes thin
You suffocate then you
Collapse
Grasping all you thought you had
She'd sever every helping hand
Says I'm too strong to take this threat
I've buried myself in past failures
Never again my angel
Never again will wounds be left opened
Never again my angel
Never again will you fall from Heaven
So run away
You're good at that
Heart wrapped in thorns
So reclusive
And stow away to places that bear no name
And I swear they'll never find you
(Eear star, come down
Be healed
You're broken)
Never again my angel
Never again will wounds be left opened
Never again my angel
Never again will you fall from Heaven
So run away
You're good at that
Heart wrapped in thorns
So reclusive
And stow away to places that bear no name
And I swear they'll never find you
So run away
You're good at that
Heart wrapped in thorns
So reclusive
And stow away to places that bear no name
And I swear they'll never find you
Would an angel
Pull the feathers from her wings
Pluck the feathers from her wings
Did she soar too high
Lost all control
When altitude she strives more
It's passing youth she's dying for
She'd sever every helping hand
Says I'm too strong to take this threat
I've buried myself in past failures
Never again my angel
Never again will wounds be left opened
Never again my angel
Never again will you fall from Heaven
So run away
You're good at that
Heart wrapped in thorns
So reclusive
And stow away to places that bear no name
And I swear they'll never find you
Independent
Walk casual
A veil disguising your appeal
A veil depriving all who's real
Once it is shed
Air becomes thin
You suffocate then you
Collapse
Grasping all you thought you had
She'd sever every helping hand
Says I'm too strong to take this threat
I've buried myself in past failures

So run away
You're good at that
Heart wrapped in thorns
So reclusive
And stow away to places that bear no name
And I swear they'll never find you
(Eear star, come down
Be healed
You're broken)
Never again my angel
Never again will wounds be left opened
Never again my angel
Never again will you fall from Heaven
So run away
You're good at that
Heart wrapped in thorns
So reclusive
And stow away to places that bear no name
And I swear they'll never find you
So run away
You're good at that
Heart wrapped in thorns
So reclusive
And stow away to places that bear no name
And I swear they'll never find you

No Surprises

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.

God I love this song.. Its got too many hooks.
She'd sever every helping hand Says I'm too strong to take this threat I've buried myself in past failures..
...great lyrics!
Fantastic..., He's not falling for the same shit again pretty much is what he's saying... at least i think so
love it..love it..love it. geez i didn't know till a few min. ago that race the sun's lyrics were up...woohoo
this is my favorite song at the moment... I heard of these guys from the AMP SAMP 12... so good.... anyone hear the whole album?
race the sun is such a great band.. can't believe more people don't know about them.. my favorite part of this song is this:
Never again my angel Never again will wounds be left opened Never again my angel Never again will you fall from Heaven
seems like he is telling someone he will care for them forever.
This song is amazing. I heard this song and bought the cd Race the sun is fuckin awesome I thought the song kind of sounds like someone's dreams got to high and they fell but they had someone trying to help them come back...Dear Star come down be healed you're broken..i think those are the best lyrics in this song
Aww man these guys are so amazing. Race the Sun is my top pick for bands to watch in 2005. You wait and see, they're gonna blow up. These guys have too much talent to be missed. To me, this song's about a girl who's really reclusive and runs away from all her problems. This is obviously not the way to go through life, though. Keep an eye out for Race the Sun, they're comin' up fast.
wow. terrific. i just have to comment on my favorite part, "Someone tell me why Would an angel Pull the feathers from her wings Pluck the feathers from her wings Did she soar too high Lost all control When altitude she strives more." i love that. anyone who can write "So run away You're good at that Heart wrapped in thorns So reclusive And stow away to places that bear no name And I swear they'll never find you" is brilliant. i have no doubt that theyre gonna come up fast.
man, these guys are amazing.
I love his voice in the part, "You're Broken". It makes me smile
