@[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.
You don't know what you're doin', you're goin' backwards
The rings around your eyes are only gettin' blacker
You wear an X on your hands, I've got one in my head
Burnin' me up inside, wishing you were dead
Easy to see your life is only for the taking
You were doing what you did, my heart was breaking
It broke, you fucked up real bad
You failed to know just what you had
You needed me
But you left me
The hell alone
It has to be
And you get
What you give
You're just so
Deceptive
You don't like how we left it
'Cause in the back of your head
You regret things that you said
Apology accepted
Didn't know you're bluffing
I thought that I'd feel something
But with you I felt nothing (nothing)
It's too convenient just to say you didn't notice
Your life is upside down and always out of focus
You're like a hypocrite, you swear you never lie
When things revealed themselves you should be doing time
Fucked up big time, crossing lines
That's what you do and then you do it all the time
Do you remember how you treated me
The shoe is on the other foot and now the blind can see
You needed me
But you left me
The hell alone
It has to be
And you get
What you give
You're just so
Deceptive
You don't like how we left it
'Cause in the back of your head
You regret things that you said
Apology Accepted
Didn't know you were bluffing
I thought that I'd feel something
I think you failed inspection
Apology Accepted
You've got a knack for lying
Talking loud and then hiding
But now look, see who's smiling
Me motherfucker! And it feels great!
It's just a matter of time
Before you fade away
And I know you're sorry
And you want to call me
Just to tell me
But it's too damn late
You're full of empty gestures
You're a non-essential
It's inconsequential
'Cause you choose your fate
Your life's a car crash
You shoot your mouth off too fast
Who knew it would be me
With the last laugh
Hahahahaha, yeah
You like to fuck with things and say it didn't happen
But I was there your bullshit keeps me laughin'
How do you sleep at night with all your lies?
Piling up like parking tickets, you don't pay the fine
You don't like how we left it
'Cause in the back of your head
You regret things that you said
Apology Accepted
Didn't know you're bluffing
I thought that I'd feel something
I think you failed inspection
Apology Accepted
You've got a knack for lying
Talking loud and then hiding

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.
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
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/
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
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.
