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”
Market fresh stand by me
Where will it ever land?
Scar and stains, Emily
Turn our little crab
I could have meant it if you let me
I could have meant it if you let me
I could have meant it if you let me
Market fresh stand by me
Where will it ever land?
Scar and stains, Emily
Turn our little crab
I could have meant it if you let me
I'm frozen
(I'm frozen, I'm frozen, I'm frozen, I'm frozen)
I'm frozen
(I'm frozen, I'm frozen, I'm frozen, I'm frozen)
Where will it ever land?
Scar and stains, Emily
Turn our little crab
I could have meant it if you let me
I could have meant it if you let me
I could have meant it if you let me
Market fresh stand by me
Where will it ever land?
Scar and stains, Emily
Turn our little crab
I could have meant it if you let me
I'm frozen
(I'm frozen, I'm frozen, I'm frozen, I'm frozen)
I'm frozen
(I'm frozen, I'm frozen, I'm frozen, I'm frozen)

@[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.
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.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
This song is amazing.
I have to agree.
I always thought it was "scarlet stains, amber leaves"
Although the Emily dealy probably makes more sense. I can't seem to find anything else to compare it with though
This is a song you listen to on the first day of spring. Keep it on repeat. Just sitting in bed.
"I could have meant it if you let me"
Such a sad line.
before i looked at these lyrics i thought it was
"just come on stage, emily"
the first time...as in emily haines. and then heard scars and stains the second time... idk!
i agree with jimmujinkins. sad, sad line. but even though, those words make this song so good altogether. amazing, really.

lovely song.. what do "scars and stains" mean, back_seat?
revisiting this song, to me the "frozen" part means he's stuck somehow in that moment where he could have meant it to her. "it" is of course, could be his sentence, his action, or both, or anything. you're free to imagine
