This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Don't you know your bed awaits and now it's time for sleeping
Goodnight Laura, close your eyes
Your worries are meant to stop for now
You know they're not for keeping
If you want to fall asleep, be very still
And you close your eyes and slow yourself and let your worry leave you
And let go of it all just for this evening
Alright
Alright
You can fall asleep by being very still
And let your breath slow down
And when you think your thoughts be sure that they are sweet ones
Don't you know, love, you're alright
Goodnight Laura, close your eyes
Your worries are meant to stop for now
You know they're not for keeping
If you want to fall asleep, be very still
And you close your eyes and slow yourself and let your worry leave you
And let go of it all just for this evening
Alright
Alright
You can fall asleep by being very still
And let your breath slow down
And when you think your thoughts be sure that they are sweet ones
Don't you know, love, you're alright

@[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.
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.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
modern lullaby.
agreed.
i think that this is about laura wingfield, from the glass menagerie, the book by tennessee williams.
Some cat told me this is about Laura Bush.
I'd like to meet that cat. I'm sorry I'll get my coat.<br /> <br /> But yeah I can't think of a clearer example of a lullaby then this.
This is the explaination I got:<br /> <br /> Goodnight Laura, don't you know <br /> your bed awaits and now it's time for sleeping?<br /> <br /> G.W. isn't the president anymore so she can now rest easy out of the limelight. <br /> <br /> Goodnight Laura, close your eyes<br /> you words are meant to stop at night <br /> you know they're not for keeping<br /> <br /> She can finally close her eyes to the world and all the troubles that her husband wrought; she no longer has to think about it or explain his idiocy.<br /> <br /> If you want to fall asleep be very still<br /> and you close your eyes, and slow yourself<br /> and let the worry leave you, and let go if it all just for this evening<br /> <br /> She can clear her conscious and make peace with the world if she keeps herself and G.W. "very still", he's advising her to not medddle in national affairs and keep him out of them too.<br /> <br /> Alright <br /> Alright<br /> <br /> Go to sleep to the world and it'll be alright.<br /> <br /> You can fall asleep by being very still<br /> as you let your breath slow down <br /> and when you think your thoughts be sure that they are sweet ones <br /> they are sweet ones<br /> <br /> Try to stay positive, Laua Bush! <br /> <br /> Don't you know, Laura, you're alright?<br /> You're alright <br /> <br /> Self explainatory, you're alright, Laura Bush, not great or fantastic, but alright. Let's not think about your hubby right now, ok? Cause he clearly doesn't deserve an "alright".Â
One final thought, please don't hate for my stupid spelling. I don't have spell check on my 3G IPad.
"Some cat" told you?<br /> <br /> Whoa, stop the presses everyone.
