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.
In the crackling cold your velvet voice ventures from your lips.
Stiffly walking words, they seem to hang here.
You place each phrase like puzzle pieces:
planned, precise, perfect.
You play me like a piano or a pastime.
I could be your voice of reason. You can be impossible.
I'm hanging like a spider in suspended time and space.
Your thoughts are all I need to keep me breathing. Dig your feet in deeper. Plant your heels into the ground.
If you could grow roots down, you'd be a tree by now.
I could be your voice of reason. You can be impossible.
But sunshine you shone. Sunshine, you've grown.
I'm just a shadow when you're not here to shine.
Frozen fingers fold inside the pocket of my jeans,
but tighter is the grip you have upon me.
Clasping, clenching, clinging on: I'm tailor made to act upon this
urge to keep you for myself forever.
I could be your voice of reason. You can be impossible.
But sunshine you shone. Sunshine, you've grown.
I'm just a shadow when you're not here to shine.
The man you fell for fell apart.
He let his demons out of the dark.
Let me hear your voice, my one and only.
Let me see your face. Our love: like breathing.
Carry me away. I'm yours completely.
Hide me in your arms. I dont deserve it.

Holiday

@[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
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.
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield

I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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.
Such a beautiful song...if you read the credits on the CD, it was recorded way back in 2003.
Meaning can be a bit confusing.
I think he's singing about someone he loves, someone who was with someone he knew, or was abusive, or something...and he's been waiting for them to break up so patiently, and he has been loved her for a long time...hands frozen in his pockets. also "Plant your heels into the ground. If you could grow roots down, you'd be a tree by now.", i think this is referring to how long the two have been together, and he wants to be the voice of reason, he wants them to break up but she wont listen. the man she fell for fell apart, and since he fell apart he just wants: "Let me hear your voice, my one and only. Let me see your face. Our love: like breathing. Carry me away. I'm yours completely. Hide me in your arms. I dont deserve it." ...but that last line makes it seem like maybe he was in part responsible for the break up, however it happened.

hidden track from deadbeat... such a beautiful song.
