@[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.
Poetic madness drains from my mind, you've fucked me there too many times. Heart in throat. I'm all choked up. I wish i was, now give me sanity, this is the love i can't control and now you've lost it. And you're just so fucking crazy. You make me crazy, dopesick and depressed but she's magnetic, she's so magnetic. YOU, YOU MAKE, YOU MAKE ME, YOU MAKE ME CRAZY! You make me so fucking crazy. A bittersweet orgasmic mindfuck or the smoothest sheet of something stainless will pleasure me for now. And now i find myself, where the needle was to weak, and now i find myself, where the razor couldn't speak. Now cover me in your green essence lovely. Distance where i can't touch you. That's where the gun will touch you. Paint up that pretty face, your something i wish i was, paint up that pretty face, Give me this agony. Paint up that pretty face, paint up that pretty face, Paint up, that pretty FACE! Her makeup smears away with the tears. that eye-liners runnin, now she's runnin away from me. The lipstick stains like gold, and for that moment i wanted to be her, feeling how i failed her. And now the drama bites hard. You're the poison in the bottle that just knocked me out. A simulcast signing off yeah mind controls a bitch. I'm on that downer depressant, that overcast chil and she's just so fucking sexy. yeah. LIPS LIKE SIN. DIE LIKE SIN. LIPS LIKE SIN. DIE LIKE SIN. I'm on that downer depressant, that overcast chill, she's dresseed in black and dressed to kill. LIPS LIKE SIN!!

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,
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.

Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
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.
this song is sooo good i love the shining part at the beginning
