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”
Rain is wet, and sugar is sweet
Clap your hands, and stomp your feet
Everybody, everybody knows
When love calls, you gotta go
Welcome 2 the new power generation
The reason my voice is so clear
Is there's no smack in my brain
Hundalasiliah
I know there is a heaven, I know there is a hell
Listen 2 me people, I got a story to tell
I know there was confusion lightnin' all around me
That's when I called his name don't you know he found me
No! Is what spooky electric say, it's not ok
But I know love is the only way till my dying day
No til my dying day I'll be ok
Cuz lovesexy is the one til my day is done
Hundalasiliah
I know there is a devil because he talks so loud
He makes you do things that your friends do, hang out with the crowd
But my lord he is so quiet when he calls your name
When you hear it your heart will thunder
You will want 2 hear it every day
No! (people) is what spooky electric say (everbody say)
But don't you know that I know
Love is the only way, til my dying day
No til my dying day I'll be ok
'Cause lovesexy is the one til my day is done
Hundalasiliah
Alright y'all, everybody in the house (serve it up, frankie)
Here's what I want you 2 do
Raise your hand up, straight in the air
Swing it 2 the right, savoir faire
Up on the 2, swing on the 4
Everybody on the dancefloor
Sha-ho, sha-ho, sha-ho, sha-ho
Y'all ain't got it together
Go ahead, go ahead, go ahead
Raise your hand up, straight in the air

(Say no) no if you can't find your way everybody say

No if you need a drink every single day
Blow that devil away!
Say yes
Yes if you want this feeling called love
(Come on 'ya, say)
Yes if you want it now raise your hand 2 the man above
(Yes) up on the 2, swing right on the 4
We want everybody 2 open this door!
Say no if you don't wanna live life under the gun
(I know) we know a better way 2 have some fun
(I know) I know there is a heaven and a hell
I know there is a heaven and a hell
Clap your hands, and stomp your feet
Everybody, everybody knows
When love calls, you gotta go
Welcome 2 the new power generation
The reason my voice is so clear
Is there's no smack in my brain

@[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.
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
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.
hundalasilah in all likelihood is just a princely take on "hallelujah".
