@[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'm serious, there's big money going on"
"Big big money!"
Why are here again?
It's the same old sit down roll around chewed up pen
Nothin' thrilling me too much, yeah
Nothin' thrilling me too much, yeah
Nothin' thrilling me too much, yeah
Nothin' thrilling me
Yeah, so close now
Yeah, so close now
Man, I nearly snapped my twig
Then again I nearly snapped a few of you
So I hear you think highly now
So I hear you think highly now
So I hear you think highly now
So I hear you think
Yeah, so close now
Yeah, so close now
Why?
Why?
Why?
"Big big money!"
Why are here again?
It's the same old sit down roll around chewed up pen
Nothin' thrilling me too much, yeah
Nothin' thrilling me too much, yeah
Nothin' thrilling me too much, yeah
Nothin' thrilling me
Yeah, so close now
Yeah, so close now
Man, I nearly snapped my twig
Then again I nearly snapped a few of you
So I hear you think highly now
So I hear you think highly now
So I hear you think highly now
So I hear you think
Yeah, so close now
Yeah, so close now
Why?
Why?

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.
I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
Wu-Tang Clan
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.
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.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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.
The song was written about having nothing to write about.
"Man I nearly snapped my twig" - a good satirical line.
I think it has something to do with needing inspiration in order to live up to your expectations.
It sounds mostly like the downsides and frusturation of fame, which is pretty much hinted at in the "big big monaaay!" intro. "Why are we here again?" seems to imply that he's asking why they came famous in the first place. The lines in which he said "I nearly snapped my twig" is obviously saying he almost went insane, and saying he almost 'snapped a few of you' probably means that he was very close to lashing out on his own bandmates. What he's probably saying by being "so close" to is being very close to either leaving the band or leaving the record label. Just my interpetation.
Maybe Sean was watching Wheel of Fortune so he yelled "big big money!"
I definitely hear "So I hear you think I laid down" instead of "So I hear you think highly now." Maybe I'm wrong but that's what I hear.
I agree with Melvana on the interpretation also. And props on the name Melvana.
I think it's about having to hear lots of criticism when you're in a band and the frustration of having to please so many people.
Song's about an incomplete idea insisting upon itself, thus creating a seemingly endless paradox, while knowing the answer to all (doubtfully)and being inable to affect it or change it only by ones insistent choices derived from hate and inability to be 'open-minded' to love. Now, ill try my best to help you see the truth in my thought. Ok, so the opening two dialogue lines are basically explaining how corporations (anything as a whole body) can not work if they only care about what they already get(money).Which, if you think about it, is exactly their view on themselves 'self-insistence' is their transit of profit. 'Why are we here again' implies directly that something is missing,thus,resulting in a constant paradox of hate and lies. The line immediately after that explains this (once articulated anyway).'nothing thrilling me too much yeah' shows how layne sees the repetition in corporations, their inability to change.'so close' insists that they know but are still blind to their success(just barely,or missing a base). Now the next half of the song is the implication of change, instead of saying 'why' to his current state he admits he almost fucked up 'MAAAAAN I nearly snapped my twig, then again i nearly snapped a few of you' ability to change (not snapping your twig) and realizing you're not the only one with a twig( life ). Goes on with 'thinking highly' , this means thinking highly of all ,considering all to see what matters now. Which, in Laynes' terms, is preventing everyone from snapping their twig(ending all life,only through hate).
Comment if you want to hear more or simply contact me(just so i know i'm not alone in my thinking),no obligations of course, just implication:)
"Any idea is irrelevant to itself ,only without its counter"-me 4.2.11
One point twenty-one jigga-watts??!!??!!
I wish I knew what this song is about. I like the first line about rolling around a chewed up pen... nice descriptive line for being bored. lol What the heck is it about??
the part when he says "nothin thrillin me too much, yeah" sounds kind of like he's saying "nothin gluin me to my chair"
Sounds like the bordem and frustrations of being in a band your not getting along with and recording a record.
The song is about frusturation towards fame and the band. (What Melvana said)
To me it sounds like "Nothing thrilling me too much, death" but i woudln't have a clue why.
