@[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.
Everybody put your hands in the air and get
down on the floor

OOH OOH x4
They were sitting down and drinking
They were hanging out and talking
But they wouldn't move to the DJ's groove
And it got the DJ raging!
"Have you got any old school hip hop?
Have you got any thrash-rock bebop?
Have you got anything a bit more up tempo?
Handbag? Techno? Disco? Electro?"
AAAAAAAARGH!
Handbag, techno, disco, electro!
You better run
'Cause the DJ's got a gun
Gonna end your fun
'Cause the DJ's got a gun (x2)
OOH OOH x4
They were standing round and posing
They were chilling out and smoking
But they wouldn't move to the DJ's groove
And it got the DJ raving!
"Have you got any old school hip hop?
Have you got any thrash-rock bebop?
Have you got anything a bit more up tempo?

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

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

“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.
this song makes me wanna dance, badly.
me 2.... its got a great beat to it
Where did I hear this song? I was listening to it and I had the distinct feeling of 'I heard this before I even HEARD of the band.' There's no way I'd have ever heard it on the radio, because, a.) I live in America, and b.) I don't ever listen to any radio except for the classical station.
It was this bit -- "Have you got anything a bit more uptempo? Handbag? Techno? Disco? Electro?""
Where, where, where? Was . . . I almost think it was somehow in that episode of The Mighty Boosh they were in, but I'm probably wrong.
The lyrics in the first verse are wrong:
it's not "thrash rock be pop" - whatever that means???!!
the line is "thrash-rock bebop" - you know, bebop - the musical style??? (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bebop)

love itttt
