@[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 love it how she breathes booze in the mornin'
And it's so sexy how she can't remember last night
I made the fatal mistake of letting her drink again
But who the hell am I to tell her how to live her life?
And if you could put dumb in a shotgla**
I'm just another lush who's had one too many in me
And we please don't have enough
I see you stand there, settle for anything, anything's better than lettin' her,
Think she can do better than me
She'll come around eventually
'Cause baby girl's a queen
But the queen's just a pawn with a bunch of fancy moves
And she's made me a fiend
I'm goin' through withdrawals but I got nothin' to lose
Oh no, (hey!)
She's at the bottom of that bottle (hey! hey!)
She's only one more swallow (hey!)
From being oh so hollow (hey!)
(Hey! Hey! Hey!)
Bravo (hey!)
She's at the bottom of that bottle (hey! hey!)
She's only one more swallow (hey!)
From being oh so hollow (hey hey hey!)
I find it funny she can never find her car keys
Immediately after telling me she can't take it
She makes the cutest faces when she screams obscenities
And slurs her words because she's never not inebriated
And the front-page headline ready
Let the girl go, you know you can do better
It's bad, when the fact that you can't have her
Is the reason you sweat her,
Don't let her take advantage of you
Like the other dudes let her
You better cut your losses now, buddy
'Cause baby girl's a queen
But the queen's just a pawn with a bunch of fancy moves
And she's made me a fiend
I'm goin' through withdrawals but I got nothin' to lose
Oh no, (hey!)
She's at the bottom of that bottle (hey! hey!)
She's only one more swallow (hey!)
From being oh so hollow (hey!)
(Hey! Hey! Hey!)
Bravo (hey!)
She's at the bottom of that bottle (hey! hey!)
She's only one more swallow (hey!)
From being oh so hollow (hey!)
(Hey hey hey!)
Drown yourself,
It's not worth keeping me
Just put it down right now,
And bow out gracefully
Drown yourself,
('Cause baby girl's a queen)
It's not worth keeping me
(The queen's just a pawn with a bunch of fancy moves)
Just put it down right now,
(And she's made me a fiend)
And bow out gracefully
(I'm goin' through withdrawals but I got nothin' to lose)
Oh no, (hey!)

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
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.
Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“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.
I love gym class heroes they give rap a whole new feel. This song is about a girl who is an alcoholic.
yay! i was too lazy to go ahead and up the lyrics up!
I believe it's "Cuz baby girls a Queen. And a queen is just a pawn with a bunch of fancy moves."
i agree with 360dregrees. Plus i think its "I'm just another lush who's had one too many in me" instead of "Someone never like us she's had one too many" and then "...lettin' her Think she could do better than me" I think there are some other parts but it's just too hard to make it out clearly. but that's what I know for now.
"When bow-wow gracefully"
i think the phrase goes "then bow out gracefully"
and "she's never not inebrieated"
i love this song. the new album will be greaat, and yep the song's about a girl that likes to drink a lot. and i love the part " baby girl's a queen and a queen is just a pawn with a bunch of fancy moves."
i don't think that "dumb" is the right word for "dumb in a shotglass" but i can't make out exactly what it is...but if it is dumb, i don't get it.
They got the words wrong, it's definately "The Queen is just a pawn with a bunch of fancy moves" I know this for a fact, I was at Warped tour and Disashi was teaching that part of the song to on of the guys thats touring with them
gymclassheroeeeeessssss are the fucking shit.
ahh sorry i'll correct the lyrics now
