@[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.
First time I saw her, I wanted more than just to hold her.
I wanted to bend and fold her, so I leant over and I told her.
Got myself a brand new girlfriend
Got myself a brand new girlfriend
So many messages to send, got myself a brand new girlfriend
We want to be, lapsed Catholic, got the contraception, haven't got the knack yet.
We've tried it a variety of ways, I've not slept in about 4 days.
Got myself a brand new girlfriend
Got myself a brand new girlfriend
Phone's ringing all weekend, got myself a brand new girlfriend
So many messages to send, got myself a brand new girlfriend
Phone's ringing all weekend, got myself a brand new girlfriend
So, we went to the cinema, we came home from the cinema
We went through the front door, up the stairs, through the bedroom door, onto the bedroom floor
I've seen her naked twice, I've seen her naked twice!
Brand new girlfriend
Phone's ringing all weekend, got myself a brand new girlfriend
So many messages to send, got myself a brand new girlfriend
Phone's ringing all weekend
Think I'm going round the bend
G-g-g-girlfriend, got myself a brand new girlfriend
And I think that I love her.
I wanted to bend and fold her, so I leant over and I told her.

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.

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.

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
Midnight

“Midnight” is a song about finding a love that is so true that it provides a calming feeling through every storm. Ed Sheeran reflects on his good fortunes in landing someone with such peace and support and speaks of not fearing the dark days because he knows they’ll all end in the safety nets of her arms.
“Well, good morning there / What a way to start the day / With everything laid bare,” Ed Sheeran sings in the first verse, enthusiastic to be waking up beside his woman. He apologizes for missing her calls in the second verse and promises to return them because for him, speaking to her is the most important thing. “Well, I get lost inside my head / In this chaos, you’re my calm / And I will find my feet again / ‘Cause еven the worst days of my life will always еnd / At midnight in your arms,” sings Ed Sheeran in the chorus, revelling in his good luck.
WHo the fuck is Art Brut? Munkeyman is easy enough to figure out, but Art Brut???
Thank you,I asked the same question when I read your first comment...
I hope Art has himself a lifer...
How lovely for you. Your timing couldn't be more perfect. That's what the song is about. Congratulations, Brazil.
