This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Yellow lines underneath my feet
on the long drive to your hometown.
Two guitars, a drum set
in the back seat of my car.
The night has settled down.
It was a rock show.
Lying there on the floor
after the show.
And there's a weird
There's a weird taste in my mouth.
Yeah there's a weird
there's a weird taste in my mouth.
And all i can think of is your lovely face.
And wonder what the hell im doing in this place.
Im not half the man i used to be
im not half the man i used to be.
And there's a heart break in the making
right now.
yeah there's a heart break in the making
right now.
And there's a heart break in the making
right now.
Yeah there's a heart break in the making
right now.
Now stop and take a look at your life
is this were you ever thought you'd be?
this this were you ever thought you'd be?
And now it's all around you.
Everywhere you see there's love
Everywhere you see.
And now it's all around you.
Everywhere you see there's love
Everywhere you see.
And i suppose i should have been a little nicer to you
But the words of comfort that you owe are way past due
and the ceiling’s caving in and i have
nothing left
i have nothing left
to say to you.
To say to you.
To say to you.
on the long drive to your hometown.
Two guitars, a drum set
in the back seat of my car.
The night has settled down.
It was a rock show.
Lying there on the floor
after the show.
And there's a weird
There's a weird taste in my mouth.
Yeah there's a weird
there's a weird taste in my mouth.
And all i can think of is your lovely face.
And wonder what the hell im doing in this place.
Im not half the man i used to be
im not half the man i used to be.
And there's a heart break in the making
right now.
yeah there's a heart break in the making
right now.
And there's a heart break in the making
right now.
Yeah there's a heart break in the making
right now.
Now stop and take a look at your life
is this were you ever thought you'd be?
this this were you ever thought you'd be?
And now it's all around you.
Everywhere you see there's love
Everywhere you see.
And now it's all around you.
Everywhere you see there's love
Everywhere you see.
And i suppose i should have been a little nicer to you
But the words of comfort that you owe are way past due
and the ceiling’s caving in and i have
nothing left
i have nothing left
to say to you.
To say to you.
To say to you.

@[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.
Head > Heels

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
This song was written on 2 separate occasions. One night while driving back from a show in Elberton, GA I noticed the yellow lines passing me by on the road, thus came the line "Yellow lines underneath my feet on the long drive to your hometown." the rest of this verse was inspired by a typical "rock show" the band puts on.
The other half of this song came while I was in Clemson, SC at a small gathering of friends and later on in the night I had became involved with this girl after an argument with my, at the time, Girlfriend, that later resulted in a break-up. So the rest of the song is about a relationship breaking away at the edges and falling into a big pile of nothing.

Sadness. :(
I absolutely love this song... I already knew a majority of the meaning behind it because the artist is a friend of mine. But I think that a lot of people can relate to the feeling if not the particular situation being described... excellent, and tragic
