This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
My days are filled with mistakes
Some that I didn’t make
I carry them around
Some people don’t feel a thing
Some kind of blissful dream
Wish I could live that now
oh I wish I could live that now
10,000 stones are hanging
deep in my heart
no I don’t know how they
don’t tear me apart
how could I ever believe
10,000 stones would build
the best of me.
I’ve seen a lot in my life
I’ve seen two wrongs make a right
When everything was crashing
I know that you got your plans
You’re always taking your stand
But I was only asking
I was never asking for
CH
who knows what you think of me now
knowing sooner or later
the truth would come out
but I don’t want to look back
don’t want to look back to
10,000 stones hanging deep in my heart
no I don’t know how they don’t tear me apart
how could I ever believe
10,000 stones would save the fool in me
10,000 stones would be a strange blessing
10,000 stones would build the best of me
Some that I didn’t make
I carry them around
Some people don’t feel a thing
Some kind of blissful dream
Wish I could live that now
oh I wish I could live that now
10,000 stones are hanging
deep in my heart
no I don’t know how they
don’t tear me apart
how could I ever believe
10,000 stones would build
the best of me.
I’ve seen a lot in my life
I’ve seen two wrongs make a right
When everything was crashing
I know that you got your plans
You’re always taking your stand
But I was only asking
I was never asking for
CH
who knows what you think of me now
knowing sooner or later
the truth would come out
but I don’t want to look back
don’t want to look back to
10,000 stones hanging deep in my heart
no I don’t know how they don’t tear me apart
how could I ever believe
10,000 stones would save the fool in me
10,000 stones would be a strange blessing
10,000 stones would build the best of me

@[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.

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.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
I think this is such a perfect song. The stones are the troubles in our lives. They drag us down. The song starts talking about how they will tear us apart but at the end she talks about how they saved a fool in her and how they are a blessing and have built the best in her. This can apply to so much in our lives. Things we think we can't live through end up making us stronger people in the end.
A brillant song full of hope and sadness. One of my favorites Imust say
I love your interpretation of this most beautiful song! I could not agree with you more. Thank you for your comment. It made my day!
@10000stones I like your interpretation, and would add that the stones seen as troubles early on, became the ballast that steadied her.
