@[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.
Under der Krônen wâ Wintro ist Hêrre
Wart ich gewâfent gen Minne und Fêind
Staimbort und Suertu wâren mîn Frouwe
Der ich schênkte Bluomen von Bluat
Exhaustedly, I leave the fields of winter
My sword is rusted, for steel is the mirror of my soul
I shed their blood frozen statues from the glacial race
But now I shroud my horns in lethe
And nevermore they shall emblazon me
Unto the gardens of vigor and warmth
I trudge a long time, but far is my bourne
Where Father's snow melts and spring flowers sprout
I sleep to wake up in my mother's arms
And I thaw
Clothe me with colors and feed me with glee
As my weapons corrode by the aestival kiss
My craving for glory and might I'll subdue
After the fruits of ephermeral pulchritude
Sweet and vinous the trees pour their wealth
And my youth and beauty return
Mid my sisters I cheerfully dance
As milk flows from my breast
I extol the female God before the altar of the sun
For her gift of peace and stainless pulchritude
Love me, just the loss of thoughts can grant me bright felicity
In mere illusions of her esoteric lies
Six hundred dreams have passed in the garden of thornless pleasures
I am summer's daughter and embellish paradise
But still my legions conquer for the throne of winter
And ice that swallowed all the world now besieges this Reich
Ferocious hordes unsheathe and vanquish Eden
Without compassion they rape for I'm weak and frail
Inferior, I die as frost covers my body
But braced by hate I will return
To the vast of my gorgeous fatherland
Wart ich gewâfent gen Minne und Fêind
Staimbort und Suertu wâren mîn Frouwe
Der ich schênkte Bluomen von Bluat
Exhaustedly, I leave the fields of winter
My sword is rusted, for steel is the mirror of my soul

I trudge a long time, but far is my bourne
Where Father's snow melts and spring flowers sprout
I sleep to wake up in my mother's arms

Clothe me with colors and feed me with glee
As my weapons corrode by the aestival kiss
My craving for glory and might I'll subdue
After the fruits of ephermeral pulchritude

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.
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield

I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
American Town

Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
