In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
I been the shit for a minute
I push to the limit
Sometimes i can't let go
She lose her mind
When I'm in it
I can't wait a minute
You got to let me go
I wanna open my heart
And show you that love
Sometimes but i don't know
I wanna open my heart
And show you that love
Sometimes but i don't know
Love will get you drilled
I still got wounds
That i can't close
I was living by the code
Somehow i still got exposed
If you with me
Let me know
Don't you Vogue
And strike a pose
Keep it real and let me know
I gave her everything i had
Deep inside
She still spilled my blood
And shattered all my pride
I was young
And thinking
Love was on my side
To my surprise
To my demise
But i been him so i bounce back
Copy machine that's big facts
I ain't no pussy no house cat
Hoes on hand don't doubt that
It's not about that
I put my trust in you
And you knew what it was
Let's call a spade a spade
Can't patch these
Wounds you cut
You got heart to cut the king
So baby join the club
I been the shit for a minute
I push to the limit
Sometimes i can't let go
She lose her mind
When I'm in it
I can't wait a minute
You got to let me go
I wanna open my heart
And show you that love
Sometimes but i don't know
I wanna open my heart
And show you that love
Sometimes but i don't know
Love will get you drilled
I still got wounds
That i can't close
I was living by the code
Somehow i still got exposed
If you with me
Let me know
Don't you Vogue
And strike a pose
Keep it real and let me know
Ooo call me bro
And then you pray for me to lose
You be plotting
How my story gonna conclude
How dare you bite the hand
That gave you food
That shit is rude
That shit is rude
Fake love i see fake love
This ain't make believe
This ain't make up
Treat me like them
You know I'm him right
Raised in the darkness
Made it to big lights
Stuck at the door
You can't get in right
My diamonds the ticket
They make the eventbrite
Ohh i can't show that
Love nomore
Stock going up
Wait til what's in store
I been the shit for a minute
I push to the limit
Sometimes i can't let go
She lose her mind
When I'm in it
I can't wait a minute
You got to let me go
I wanna open my heart
And show you that love
Sometimes but i don't know
I wanna open my heart
And show you that love
Sometimes but i don't know
Love will get you drilled
I still got wounds
That i can't close
I was living by the code
Somehow i still got exposed
If you with me
Let me know
Don't you Vogue
And strike a pose
Keep it real and let me know
I push to the limit
Sometimes i can't let go
She lose her mind
When I'm in it
I can't wait a minute
You got to let me go
I wanna open my heart
And show you that love
Sometimes but i don't know
I wanna open my heart
And show you that love
Sometimes but i don't know
Love will get you drilled
I still got wounds

@[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.
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
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.
A great love song; it's saying "we may not be perfect, but we're perfect for each other, and that's enough". Great tune from a great, unfortunately under-appreciated, group.
"We may never be angels But we're lousy with the spirit." "Spirit" in every sense of the word. Righteous!
