@[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.
I'm not angry anymore
Well, sometimes I am
I don't think badly of you
Well, sometimes I do
It depends on the day
The extend of all my worthless rage
I'm not angry anymore
I'm not bitter anymore
I'm syrupy sweet
I rot your teeth down to the core
If I'm really happy
It depends on the day
If I wake up in a giddy haze
Well I'm not angry
I'm not totally angry
I'm not all that angry anymore
Well, sometimes I am
I don't think badly of you
Well, sometimes I do
It depends on the day
The extend of all my worthless rage
I'm not angry anymore
I'm not bitter anymore
I'm syrupy sweet
I rot your teeth down to the core
If I'm really happy
It depends on the day
If I wake up in a giddy haze
Well I'm not angry
I'm not totally angry
I'm not all that angry anymore

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

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 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.
Moods change day to day... The song is self explanatory, but I feel like posting anyway. You could be happy one day and think you're completely over the drama and then suddenly, the following day, you remember things and you get all worked up again because you never really forgot the bad. It's an in between thing.
Personally, I think this is about a break-up and how Hayley isn't bitter about it anymore. I know from personal experience that you can instantly hate the person you were dating once you break up, but I feel this song is about closure and how life's too short to still be angry.
She talks about how sometimes it "depends on the day", which granted, people have their mood swings, but the anger isn't taking over her life anymore like it used to.
It's an uplifting song :)
It seems like it's a song about forcing yourself to grow up and not be upset with someone (especially someone you have to be or work around, no matter how hard you try to avoid them). But at the end of the day, you probably still secretly hate what they did and think about it a lot. On the outside, you're really charming and bubbly, but sometimes it still shows that you're angry.
For me this is about a arranged marriage, the girl feels sorrow and hopeless about the situation when the guy and her family force her to love the guy till death. Firstly the girl felt angry and sad, she lost her freedom. But then, she realized their true intention and she forgave them all. She doesn't feel angry anymore, but still hopeless, a lil bitter maybe.
