This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Can't we talk set it right can't we talk any more all this time only you
Nothing more all this time, it looks like you won't be staying round given
The time and your mood you look a lot like her and you look so like you
Won't be staying around here in this half light you look a lot like her
You decide what I meant what is right you decide please believe I will be
Here for you I will be is it all lost and gone could you give me
Some room room to be room to heal worth as much you will be
Nothing more all this time, it looks like you won't be staying round given
The time and your mood you look a lot like her and you look so like you
Won't be staying around here in this half light you look a lot like her
You decide what I meant what is right you decide please believe I will be
Here for you I will be is it all lost and gone could you give me
Some room room to be room to heal worth as much you will be

@[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

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.
Numbnat1- That would be true if the singer was a male. Since the singer is female, we're all confused.
Now that you mentiion it, one possibility is that the song was originally written by a guy, from a guy's point of view, then mandalay got a hold of it and had the female singer sing it without changing the lyrics. just a thought. i have no idea.
I've always thought of the song as from the perspective of a guy. Mandalay had two members: a guy that did all the music and a girl that did the singing. It could be that the guy wrote the lyrics.
I think he's breaking up with a girl (or actually is being broken up with) and notices that this is just what happened in his last relationship. "Given the time \ And your mood \ You look a lot like her" The resemblance isn't so much physical as it is situational.
This is an aching song about breaking up and the realizations that occur when we realize that the ones we love are no longer commited to the relationship and are just looking for a way out.
This song was on CSI the other night and it was so cool!! great episode too!
i also caught this song on CSI. but i don't completely get the meaning. "you look a lot like her." Who looks a lot like who? The guy she's breaking up with looks like some other girl?????
Perhaps he had an affair/cheated on her and now has a daughter with this other woman whom he looks a lot like?
Just an idea.

I completly agree with lizzybelle! definitly the kid. Must be. What else could it be?
lizzybelle's is the best explanation so far, but i just heard the song again recently, and something still bothers me. if what lizzybelle says is true, why would she say "you look a lot like her"? if the speaker instead said "she looks a lot like you," wouldn't that make more sense? you would think she would compare someone new/unfamiliar (the daughter, "she") to the one she's familiar with, the person she's addressing in the song (the cheating guy, "you"), not the other way around.
i don't get it. i love this song, very wrenching, great beat, haunting vocals, but i can't quite figure out the exact meaning. i think lizzybelle's is the best so far, but there has to be something more to better explain it and bring it all together.
um...i think it's easy to assume that the song was written for a guy because of the female narrator, but i think we need to consider the obvious possibility that the song was written for a girl, who is leaving the relationship and at that moment reminds the narrator of a past failed relationship. "it looks like you won't be staying 'round, given the time and the mood you look a lot like her..." referring of course to a past girlfriend who also left the narrator, possibly under similar circumstances. if this song were called "like him" instead of "like her," it would be easier to see. just gotta be a little bit more open-minded people!
resuri- i was listening to this song again the other day (it's a good song), and trying to figure out what it meant, and that's exactly what i came up with. the only way it makes sense is if the narrator is facing the end of a lesbian relationship, just like you said.
