Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
[Intro]
Nobody knows why
Nobody knows how and
This feeling begins just like a spark
Tossing and turning inside of your heart
Exploding in the dark
[Verse 1]
Yeah
We used to talk about forever when that shit didn't last a second
Finding heaven on my own, and, believe me, it isn't pleasant
I know you won't get this message, I don't know where you are
Always searching for something better, yet you left the brightest star
Man it's crazy, "I loves you"s to "I don't know"s
Now I'm sitting here alone like, "Where the hell did you go?"
Acting like we never met, when'd you get so cold?
So many things I want to say, so much that's left untold
See, while you've been losing all your feelings I've been losing my mind
Choosing to find the truth behind my feelings inside
I got a appetite for you just laying here by my side
And it's hard to satisfy that craving in this moment of time
And truthfully I'm sick of thinking all these same lines again
But it's just been stuck in my head every time I'm writing in bed
I said I'm moving on, but you and I both know that phrase is just dead
More than enough has been said tryna get you out of my head, so goodbye
[Hook]
Calling your name in the midnight hour
Reaching you for in this endless dream
So many miles between us now
But you were always here with me
[Verse 2]
Yeah
And maybe it's for the better, kinda wish we didn't meet
We went from partners in crime to a couple glances a week
Advocating reconnections but it can't only be me
You see, you're a phone call away but feels like planets between
I mean, never being perfect didn't mean that we weren't worth it
Never knowing how to word it, what you really meant to me
Do we drown it 'cause it's burnin'?
Fire beneath the surface
Inside is just where I'm hurting, a smile is all you'll see
'Cause these feelings gotta go, that's what I come to truly know
I guess you'll never know, even when you left I still had hope
And now my heart is growing cold, like the coldest winter's snow
I know these songs are getting old, but it's the only thing that's left to hold so
Damn, all these same lines again, your name is just stuck in my head every time I'm lying in bed
I said I'm moving on, but you and I just may never really see
You will always be part of me with all these miles between
[Hook]
Calling your name in the midnight hour
Reaching you for in this endless dream
So many miles between us now
But you were always here with me
Nobody knows why
Nobody knows how and
This feeling begins just like a spark
Tossing and turning inside of your heart
Exploding in the dark

@[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 Can't Go To Sleep

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.
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.
Blue

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.
