This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Your features defy all metaphor
And I'm the king of those
Your hair is too pretty to be compared to a city
so I'll leave it out of all my prose
And your eyes are unlike any ocean
that I have ever seen
Unlike any jewels
They break the writing rules
And I am trying to keep this song clean
And not to mention
despite pretension
You are infinitely interesting to me
It's so unexpected,
my heart feels unprotected
I'm so thankful for that way you look at me, me
And everything that you say is a poem
And I'm hooked on every word
Your mouth speaks no lies,
it needs no alibis
and not one single word is slurred
And I love that you talk about Dylan
And all the books you read
I know you so well, didn't notice any spell
But you seem to be taking the lead
And not to mention
despite pretension
You are infinitely interesting to me
It's so unexpected,
my heart feels unprotected
I'm so thankful for that way you look at me
And I'm the king of those
Your hair is too pretty to be compared to a city
so I'll leave it out of all my prose
And your eyes are unlike any ocean
that I have ever seen
Unlike any jewels
They break the writing rules
And I am trying to keep this song clean
And not to mention
despite pretension
You are infinitely interesting to me
It's so unexpected,
my heart feels unprotected
I'm so thankful for that way you look at me, me
And everything that you say is a poem
And I'm hooked on every word
Your mouth speaks no lies,
it needs no alibis
and not one single word is slurred
And I love that you talk about Dylan
And all the books you read
I know you so well, didn't notice any spell
But you seem to be taking the lead
And not to mention
despite pretension
You are infinitely interesting to me
It's so unexpected,
my heart feels unprotected
I'm so thankful for that way you look at me

@[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.
No Surprises

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.
Page

Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
