@[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 must be stupid
Or I must be crazy, oh
Yeah, I must be useless to you
And I must be lovin' you lazy
Out my mind 'cause you're cryin'
You're sayin' I did this to you
Baby, I'm sick of this
Keep sayin' I ain't listenin'
Let it all out, tell me how you feel about me
Get it all off your chest
I get it now, you said enough to hurt me
You regret every moment you're in my presence
Day by day, step by step
Said I won't change to make it better
Don't wanna fight, since you stressin'
You're free to leave all we have here
Everything we put together
All the power, you're a coward, my dear
It don't matter
'Cause you won't take a risk with me
You won't jump off the bridge with me (no, you won't)
You don't wanna live free-fallin'
No-no-no-no-no-no
Let go of my hand
You don't wanna fly, live with me
No-no-no-no-no-no, let go
No-no-no-no-no-no, you don't wanna fly with me
You say I'm insecure
Think I ain't ready for you
I'll give a little more to you
But what will you give me for it?
Don't you knock it 'til you try it
You know I won't hurt you, baby
Ooh, just let it loose
That's right
Let it all out, tell me how you feel about me
Get it all off your chest
Scream it out loud, lay it all out for me
Don't regret every moment you're in my presence
Oh, day by day, step by step
If you want me, I'll make it better
It's your life, fuck this stressin'
You're free to leave all we have here
Everything we put together
The perfect one I searched for right here
And baby, it don't get no better
'Cause you won't take a risk with me (ooh)
You won't jump off the bridge with me (ooh, no, you won't)
You don't wanna live free-fallin'
No-no-no-no-no-no (ooh)
Let go of my hand
You don't wanna fly, live with me (ooh)
No-no-no-no-no-no (no-no), let go
No-no-no-no-no-no, you don't wanna fly with me
If you can't hear me
I hope you feel me
I know you see me
You see me clearly
I know I don't have the answers to all your problems
But I'm willing to try to solve 'em
Baby, all you need is a little more lovin', oh yeah
Don't run from me, all this kissin' and huggin', oh yeah
It's just you and I, please be mine
Girl, forever
I'ma give my heart, just be kind
You never know 'til you try
Go ahead, go ahead (go ahead)
Huh, just spread 'em for me now (me now)
I don't mean your legs
Girl, it's time to let your wings out
'Cause you won't take a risk with me (yeah)
You won't jump off the bridge with me (no, you won't)
You don't wanna live free-fallin'
No-no-no-no-no-no (no-no)
Let go of my hand (ooh)
You don't wanna fly, live with me
No-no-no-no-no-no (no-no-no), let go
No-no-no-no-no-no, you don't wanna fly with me
(Cause you won't) won't take a risk with me
You won't jump off the bridge with me (hey, no, you won't)
You don't wanna live free-fallin'
No-no-no-no-no-no
Let go of my hand
You don't wanna fly, live with me

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.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
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.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
