This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Cross your fingers say you’re on high
Pretend you’re in den and see what life brings
But always taking things as they come
Tends to make you forget to put anything in
The longer you dwell
The more it’s like hell
You sit by the well
Just making a wish
It would be a shame
To take too much blame
Look we’re all the same
It’s only a game
Ackee 1 2 3
Ackee 1 2 1 2 3
Did I just catch you laughing
Ackee 1 2 3
Ackee 1 2 1 2 3
Forward where the knocks are hardest
Some to failure some to fame
Never mind the cheers or hooting
Keep your head and play the game
Try to keep your feet on the ground
Without getting them stuck in the mud
You will soon be over the moon
Or twice as hot as the sun
Ackee 1 2 3
Ackee 1 2 1 2 3
Did I just catch you laughing
Ackee 1 2 3
Ackee 1 2 1 2 3
So cross your fingers say you’re on high
Pretend your in den and see what life brings
But all this taking things as they come
Tends to make you forget to put anything in
The longer you dwell
The more it’s like hell
You sit by the well
Just making a wish
To make it plain
I’ll say it again
We’re all the same
It’s only a game
Ackee 1 2 3
Ackee 1 2 1 2 3
Did I just catch you laughing
Ackee 1 2 3
Ackee 1 2 1 2 3
Someone just smiled for no special reason
It looks like the smile’s come back into season
It’s so easy
It doesn’t have to be a nice day
Just the only one you’ve got and it’s coming ready or not
Ackee 1 2 1 2 3
Ackee 1 2 1 2 3
Pretend you’re in den and see what life brings
But always taking things as they come
Tends to make you forget to put anything in
The longer you dwell
The more it’s like hell
You sit by the well
Just making a wish
It would be a shame
To take too much blame
Look we’re all the same
It’s only a game
Ackee 1 2 3
Ackee 1 2 1 2 3
Did I just catch you laughing
Ackee 1 2 3
Ackee 1 2 1 2 3
Forward where the knocks are hardest
Some to failure some to fame
Never mind the cheers or hooting
Keep your head and play the game
Try to keep your feet on the ground
Without getting them stuck in the mud
You will soon be over the moon
Or twice as hot as the sun
Ackee 1 2 3
Ackee 1 2 1 2 3
Did I just catch you laughing
Ackee 1 2 3
Ackee 1 2 1 2 3
So cross your fingers say you’re on high
Pretend your in den and see what life brings
But all this taking things as they come
Tends to make you forget to put anything in
The longer you dwell
The more it’s like hell
You sit by the well
Just making a wish
To make it plain
I’ll say it again
We’re all the same
It’s only a game
Ackee 1 2 3
Ackee 1 2 1 2 3
Did I just catch you laughing
Ackee 1 2 3
Ackee 1 2 1 2 3
Someone just smiled for no special reason
It looks like the smile’s come back into season
It’s so easy
It doesn’t have to be a nice day
Just the only one you’ve got and it’s coming ready or not
Ackee 1 2 1 2 3
Ackee 1 2 1 2 3

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
Holiday
Bee Gees
Bee Gees
@[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
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.
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.
Forward where the knocks are hardest Some to failure some to fame Never mind the cheers or hooting Keep your head and play the game
This is taken from the school song of King Edward's School Birmingham, the big private school in the area. I don't know what connection any of the band had to that school, if any, but that's where it comes from. Used ironically I would guess
