This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
The sun is shining in the sky
There ain't a cloud in sight
It's stopped raining
Everybody's in the play (?)
And don't you know it's a beautiful new day
Hey hey hey
Running down the avenue
See how the sun shines brightly in the city
On the streets where once was pity
Mr. Blue Sky is living here today
Hey hey hey
Mr. Blue Sky please tell us why
You had to hide away for so long (so long)
Where did we go wrong?
Mr. Blue Sky please tell us why
You had to hide away for so long (so long)
Where did we go wrong?
Hey you with the pretty face
Welcome to the human race
A celebration
Mr. Blue Sky's up there waiting
And today is the day we've waited for
Oh oh oh
Mr. Blue Sky please tell us why
You had to hide away for so long (so long)
Where did we go wrong?
Hey there Mr. Blue
We're so pleased to be with you
Look around see what you do
Everybody smiles at you
Mr. Blue you did it right
But soon comes Mr. Night creeping over
Now his hand is on your shoulder
Nevermind I'll remember you this
I'll remember you this way
Bah, bah, bah, bah, bah
There ain't a cloud in sight
It's stopped raining
Everybody's in the play (?)
And don't you know it's a beautiful new day
Hey hey hey
Running down the avenue
See how the sun shines brightly in the city
On the streets where once was pity
Mr. Blue Sky is living here today
Hey hey hey
Mr. Blue Sky please tell us why
You had to hide away for so long (so long)
Where did we go wrong?
Mr. Blue Sky please tell us why
You had to hide away for so long (so long)
Where did we go wrong?
Hey you with the pretty face
Welcome to the human race
A celebration
Mr. Blue Sky's up there waiting
And today is the day we've waited for
Oh oh oh
Mr. Blue Sky please tell us why
You had to hide away for so long (so long)
Where did we go wrong?
Hey there Mr. Blue
We're so pleased to be with you
Look around see what you do
Everybody smiles at you
Mr. Blue you did it right
But soon comes Mr. Night creeping over
Now his hand is on your shoulder
Nevermind I'll remember you this
I'll remember you this way
Bah, bah, bah, bah, bah

@[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 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.
Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
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.
Hilarious, not really, but sacastically. This song has no meaning, it's just there to be sung with a funky beat. Can't stop listening to Nerf Herder's - Siegfried and Roy though, so addictive. But this song means absolutely nothing, its about the sky and how blue it is, thus bringing smiles everywhere because it,s nice outside
This song is cool. For some reason it reminds me of Queen (the band, not the person). Kinda addictive.
No meaning? Meh, it appears to me that it's like.. they were upset for so long, and finally are happy(".Mr. Blue Sky please tell us why you had to hide away for so long (so long). Where did we go wrong?" "It's a beautiful new day" "Today is the day we've waited for" "See how the sun shines brightly in the city, on the streets where once was pity") Makes sense to me, but then again, my mind could just make it like that so I could relate to it.
wasn't this originally an Electric Light Orchestra song?
nerf herder rule. its an electric light orchestra cover? oh thats cool...
scawt, that is kinda obvious...
Yeah, ELO did it first
I'm surprised that they covered this and not the other three songs that together make up the "Concerto for a Rainy Day" symphony that Mr. Blue Sky finishes out.
It makes way more sense when you've heard all of that.
