@[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.
It's late and I'm feeling so tired
Having trouble sleeping
This constant compromise between thinking and breathing
Could it be I'm suffering because I'll never give in?
Won't say that I'm falling in love
(Please, please) tell me I don't seem myself
Couldn't I blame something else? (No, don't say it)
Don't say I'm falling in love
Some kind of therapy is all I need
Please, believe me (please, believe me)
Some instant remedy that can cure me completely
Could it be I'm suffering because I'll never give in?
Won't say that I'm falling in love
(Please, please) tell me I don't seem myself
Couldn't I blame something else? (No, don't say it)
Don't say I'm falling in love
Ooh
'Cause I've been there before, and it's not enough
So nobody say it (so nobody say it)
Don't even say it (don't you even say it)
I've got my eyes shut, won't look
Oh no, I'm not in love
Could it be I'm suffering because I'll never give in?
Won't say that I'm falling in love (falling in love)
(Please, please) tell me I don't seem myself
Couldn't I blame something else? (No, don't say it)
Just don't say I'm falling in love (don't say that I'm falling in love)
Could it be I'm suffering softly (don't say that I'm falling in love)
Caught on all what you've been giving me (don't say that I'm falling in love)
Falling in love (don't say that I'm falling in love)
Couldn't I blame something else?
(Don't say, don't say)
(Don't say, don't say)
(Don't say that I'm falling in love) don't say
(Don't say that I'm falling in love)
(Don't say that I'm falling in love) ooh, oh
(Don't say that I'm falling in love) yeah
(Don't say that I'm falling in love) oh

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.
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.
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.
To Me, this is the ebst song on the CD. I think we have all had those nights where we couldn't sleep, or had those jitters thinking about someone. And vice versa, had those nights where we knew that we were falling for someone, but our mind says no and our hearts say yes. This song portrays that stuggle between the two. It's so cute and the video is great. I love it, and i LOVVEEE CBR.
