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.

@[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.

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.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
Just a wild possibility here but it could actually be that he doesnt have time for his woman coz he is too busy watching all the tv channels that area bout nowadays?! haha and the title... majors titling victory could just be a mask for the real meaning of the 3 letters... M.T.V. which is really referring to the world famous american network. or alternatively could refer to this Major TV channel running everything and calling all the shots, as Jimzer said... Just a wild one i thought i would put out there... let me know your views...
This is an example of how The Cribs are really good at making simple but pertinent political/social commentary songs.<br /> <br /> LB3: I dunno if I agree, but it's a valid interpretation - always good to hear individual thought.
im guessing this song comments on the overwhelming power of major labels; major labels basically name the successful bands of today.
"...i'm empty"
well what does the title mean. cuz MTV could be an acronym for Majors Titling Victory. well Majors Titling Victory is label they are giving the cribs. iono?? love the song tho.
i mean the cribs are nicknaming MTV Majors Titling Victory. Cuz they Mtv can basically say What is what in the music industry.
its simple, he can't find time for her. not important to her anymore.
major's titling victory. yeah whoever said the thing about major labels having too much power is spot on. but i think they arent speaking about themselves because they're on an indie label i'm pretty sure. they are spekaing about major label bands who've no time for themselves as these major labels exercise great power (titling victory, meaning they will always succeed in labelling something- in other words they run everything and call all the shots). yeah. seeing them live in a few hours. cant wait. @ the billboard, melb, vic.
