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”
[Verse 1: Freeway]
Let me start from the beginning, at the top of the list
Nah mean? It's the situation that I be lacin'
Mics through this for recreation, you in the studio pacin'
Need to ask yourself a question
Is you working or you wastin' time?
I take my time and make a rhyme
Then make a dime and vacay in St.Tropez
Now I want you making time
Real talk, me and homie girl talk, we can bond
And we thinkin' way beyond makin' them hits
Man, we do this for the culture
Married to the game, I made my mixtape at the altar
Now that I got the fame you'll need a 16, that'll cost ya
Don't you try to play me, got a sick team that'll off ya
Don't make it, make it rain, don't want that rain, just keep it sunny
Know how we doin', ain't nothing movin' but the money
Had to grind hard just to get it
Listen, if you ain't kin then you ain't getting nothin' from me
[Hook: Freeway]
Do you love what I be cookin' up? Then holla, "yeah, yeah"
The block gon' tell me, know they tell me, "yeah"
Pretty ladies, are we hookin' up? Then holla, "yeah, yeah"
All the girls gon' tell me, know they tell me, "yeah"
[Verse 2: Young Chris]
To kill a pet, [?] backwoods
Damn, I love it when them boogie bitches act hood
Standing on couches, tables full of bottles
Do it like the [?], YOLO, you know the motto
Models vvs' clean, Jordan number sixes
Step up and we freshest, table full of bitches
State to state, city to city
Ask around, we did this before y'all witnessed the king
LeBron was a witness, we them niggas
[Verse 3: Freeway]
Jump out my business, give niggas the business
And I just came home from Venice, poking with some bitches
Overseas we drinkin', eatin', smokin', enjoyin' their tradition
This trick ass pokin', she potent and delicious
She know Freezy got the buzz and she don't wanna miss it
She know Freezy in a rush, so she don't wanna risk it
Was waitin' by the curb, said she heard we them niggas
Wanna love me like a wifey and fuck me like a mistress
I'm with the gunners, special, we on a mission
When we in ya city need three pieces of biscuits
She came with you, but she leavin' with me
Little mami, what you smokin', what you sippin'?

@[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.
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.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
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.
