@[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.
There's no feelin' no better than this
There's no mountain so high I can't climb
There's no shortage of comfort and bliss
There's no reason I burned holes in my mind
I'm doin' fine
The faith is mine now
I've seen my troubles smokin' down on the track
My nose all bloody, taste the salt in my teeth
I spent my money but it's all comin' back
The water is muddy but it's drowned
And my field's under the [Incomprehensible]
The faith is mine now
The faith is mine
But I still got a long way to go
I've seen my future look back on my heart
Don't know the ending but I know where to start
My past is healin', it's alarmin' the fate
This time tomorrow, it could all be a race tumblin' by
The faith is mine now
The faith is mine
But I still got a long way to go
The faith is mine
But I'm still doin' time keepin' up my God
The faith is real
Or sometimes I feel like I work too hard
The faith is mine, yeah, the faith is mine
Yeah, faith is mine
But I'm still doin' time, it's a life long task
The faith is strong, I keep hangin' on
'Cause I know that I've only to ask
The faith is mine
Yeah, the faith is mine
There's no feeling no better I know
The skies are cloudy but the sun's gonna show
My arms are open and I got my feet on the sand
Angel of mercy take a hold of my hand
I'm doin' fine
The faith is mine now
The faith is mine
But I still got a long way to go
Faith is mine
But I still got a long way to go
The faith is mine
But I still got a long way to go
The faith is mine
Yeah, the faith is mine
The faith is mine
The faith is mine
There's no mountain so high I can't climb
There's no shortage of comfort and bliss
There's no reason I burned holes in my mind
I'm doin' fine
The faith is mine now
I've seen my troubles smokin' down on the track
My nose all bloody, taste the salt in my teeth
I spent my money but it's all comin' back
The water is muddy but it's drowned
And my field's under the [Incomprehensible]
The faith is mine now
The faith is mine
But I still got a long way to go
I've seen my future look back on my heart
Don't know the ending but I know where to start
My past is healin', it's alarmin' the fate
This time tomorrow, it could all be a race tumblin' by
The faith is mine now
The faith is mine
But I still got a long way to go
The faith is mine
But I'm still doin' time keepin' up my God

Or sometimes I feel like I work too hard
The faith is mine, yeah, the faith is mine
Yeah, faith is mine
But I'm still doin' time, it's a life long task

The faith is mine
Yeah, the faith is mine
The faith is mine
The faith is mine

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.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
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.
