@[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.
PRESSURE PILLS, just drink
Wash it down, don't panic
Smoke again, stop talking
And think of the end
And think of the end
Heartbreak, heartache, apocalyptic guard fate
I already know the ending
But where does start take
Till these bruises won't come in the morning
It's a hard day, think you should want a fair warning
Wake up from a deep sleep and
I can feel the sea creep in silence
Cold sweat, heart heating, still hear mama crying
Whose live you believe in, boy?
How does one person makes a difference
Feels like a little kid asking for forgiveness
Wake up gifted, people say chosen
Came about a cold world, people stay frozen so
Keep your body moving, keep your body moving
Odds are against, yeah they tell me that we losing
Sanity in traction, cause and reaction
Nobody's waiting for you
(x2)
PRESSURE PILLS, just drink
Wash it down, don't panic
Smoke again, stop talking
And think of the end
And think of the end
But I don't wanna die this way
But maybe it's the price you pay
But I don't wanna die this way
For a certain kind of life this the price you pay
I've been living in the dark so long
Every spark cools on, and it's a fire looking light away
(x2)
PRESSURE PILLS, just drink
Wash it down, don't panic
Smoke again, stop talking
And think of the end
And think of the end
Wash it down, don't panic
Smoke again, stop talking
And think of the end
And think of the end
Heartbreak, heartache, apocalyptic guard fate
I already know the ending
But where does start take
Till these bruises won't come in the morning
It's a hard day, think you should want a fair warning
Wake up from a deep sleep and
I can feel the sea creep in silence
Cold sweat, heart heating, still hear mama crying
Whose live you believe in, boy?
How does one person makes a difference
Feels like a little kid asking for forgiveness
Wake up gifted, people say chosen
Came about a cold world, people stay frozen so
Keep your body moving, keep your body moving
Odds are against, yeah they tell me that we losing
Sanity in traction, cause and reaction
Nobody's waiting for you

PRESSURE PILLS, just drink

PRESSURE PILLS, just drink
Wash it down, don't panic
Smoke again, stop talking
And think of the end
And think of the end

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.
