This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
What do you think of me
Do you really want to see a piece of me that I hide
Something that's hard to find
What's behind your smile
Is it really worth my while
What's beneath your ton-bed skin open up and let me in
Do you really want to feel something that is so unreal
Do you really want to be the one and only one for me
When we go to sleep tonight
I'll have different goals in sight
Tell you what you want to hear
Have another drink my dear
I'm not going to try to hurt you
I'll be honest kind and true
I'll take you out and treat you right
Like a decent man would do
Now I got you in my grasp do not fear my checkered past
Have you now begun to see this diabolic side of me
In your mind I'm always there I guess
You thought I really cared now it's time to say goodbye
You bit the hook
Believed the lie
I'm not going to try to hurt you I'll be honest kind and true
I'll take you out and treat you right like a decent man would do
Gonna modify my behavior to make you think I'm your savior
Now that I'm inside your head
I'm gonna use you
Probably abuse you
Should have listened to what your mom said
I'm not going to try to hurt you
I'll be honest kind and true
I'll take you out and treat you right
Like a decent man would do
Yeah right!
Do you really want to see a piece of me that I hide
Something that's hard to find
What's behind your smile
Is it really worth my while
What's beneath your ton-bed skin open up and let me in
Do you really want to feel something that is so unreal
Do you really want to be the one and only one for me
When we go to sleep tonight
I'll have different goals in sight
Tell you what you want to hear
Have another drink my dear
I'm not going to try to hurt you
I'll be honest kind and true
I'll take you out and treat you right
Like a decent man would do
Now I got you in my grasp do not fear my checkered past
Have you now begun to see this diabolic side of me
In your mind I'm always there I guess

I'll take you out and treat you right
Like a decent man would do

@[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 Can't Go To Sleep

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

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.

“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.
