@[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.
Now everything
That used to matter to me
Is taken away
Forever gone
The only things
I really have left here
In this life
Are bitter hate and this gun
From this trip I´m taking now
I´m never coming back�
It´s time, tonight´s the night
The last one of my life
This time I´ll just let myself go
And leave this world behind
The booze flows in
Like blood to heart that beats no more
And blows the flame of fear outâ?¦
I raise the gun
My finger on the trigger
And put the barrel into my mouth
From this trip I´m taking now
I´m never coming back�
It´s time, tonight´s the night
The last one of my life
This time I´ll just let myself go
And leave this world behind
It´s here, tonight´s the night
The last one of my life
With no fear I´ll just let my life go
And take the six-feet-diveâ?¦
That used to matter to me
Is taken away
Forever gone
The only things
I really have left here
In this life
Are bitter hate and this gun
From this trip I´m taking now
I´m never coming back�
It´s time, tonight´s the night
The last one of my life
This time I´ll just let myself go
And leave this world behind
The booze flows in
Like blood to heart that beats no more
And blows the flame of fear outâ?¦
I raise the gun
My finger on the trigger
And put the barrel into my mouth
From this trip I´m taking now
I´m never coming back�
It´s time, tonight´s the night
The last one of my life
This time I´ll just let myself go
And leave this world behind
It´s here, tonight´s the night
The last one of my life
With no fear I´ll just let my life go
And take the six-feet-diveâ?¦

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.

Page

Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
Yes, they do... instrumentals! Hahaha. Nah, really, not all of them are, though the majority are. I like it that way.
