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.
Sometimes it's scented or colored
It's located on your bathroom sink
Well in the shower you know it takes away the stink
Well it does a little more than that
It can't talk back to you
It doesn't have any feelings
It can't cry or whine
Or look at other guys
It's the soap slut
Soap slut you are the only one for me
In the morning I just can't wait to see
You deodorize me and bring me to ecstasy
My soap slut, I never been so clean
So if you're feeling down or depressed
There is only one place you gotta go
That's straight to the shower
Cause the soap's got the power
But don't forget to lock the door
It can't say you came too quick
Or say you treat me like shit
It can't take your money
Or make you call it honey
It's the soap slut
Soap slut you are the only one for me
In the morning I just can't wait to see
You deodorize me and bring me to ecstasy
My soap slut, I never been so clean
I'm going blind just thinking about you
Cause you make me feel so good
And I'm wondering why
There's a tear in my eye
When I see that you're broken in two
But that's alright
We'll take a trip to Shop-Rite
Buy me a couple more
Stock them under the shelf
Or behind the closet door
That's the best thing about having a soap whore
It can't say you came too quick
Or say you treat me like shit
It can't fight or whine
Or look at other guys
It's the soap slut
Soap slut you are the only one for me
In the morning I just can't wait to see
You deodorize me and bring me to ecstasy
My soap slut, I never been so clean
It's located on your bathroom sink
Well in the shower you know it takes away the stink
Well it does a little more than that
It can't talk back to you
It doesn't have any feelings
It can't cry or whine
Or look at other guys
It's the soap slut
Soap slut you are the only one for me
In the morning I just can't wait to see
You deodorize me and bring me to ecstasy
My soap slut, I never been so clean
So if you're feeling down or depressed
There is only one place you gotta go
That's straight to the shower
Cause the soap's got the power
But don't forget to lock the door
It can't say you came too quick
Or say you treat me like shit
It can't take your money
Or make you call it honey
It's the soap slut
Soap slut you are the only one for me
In the morning I just can't wait to see
You deodorize me and bring me to ecstasy
My soap slut, I never been so clean
I'm going blind just thinking about you
Cause you make me feel so good
And I'm wondering why
There's a tear in my eye
When I see that you're broken in two
But that's alright
We'll take a trip to Shop-Rite
Buy me a couple more
Stock them under the shelf
Or behind the closet door
That's the best thing about having a soap whore
It can't say you came too quick
Or say you treat me like shit
It can't fight or whine
Or look at other guys
It's the soap slut
Soap slut you are the only one for me
In the morning I just can't wait to see
You deodorize me and bring me to ecstasy
My soap slut, I never been so clean

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.

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,

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
“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.
