@[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 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.
Head > Heels

“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.
While initially seeming like a simple, fun song, I quickly discovered that there is more than meets the eye -- or should I say ear to "Like A Boss"? There are a number of slight nuances throughout the song that give the listener a much deeper view into the inner turmoil plaguing singer in this song, Andy Samberg.
To the unwary listener, Andy Samberg seems to be a boss. The key here is that he is in fact NOT a boss, but rather simply like one. Is he really like a boss, though? Sure enough, initially he seems to be doing some slightly boss-like things. He is taking care of his business, just as a boss would. Assuming he's a boss, then, Deborah would be his secretary. After he tries to hit on her and is rejected, though, he loses out on a chance to be promoted... suddenly the listener realizes that he is not really a boss. His "sending faxes" become more clear -- if he were a boss, his secretary Deborah would be doing meaningless tasks like that! It comes to light, then, that Deborah is more likely a coworker. His attempt at being "like a boss" and hitting on Deborah clues the listener into his hamartia -- he thinks he is like a boss when he really is not.
I reiterate, Andy Samberg begins by doing some very "bossesque" things. Really, though, are these actions performed by someone who is a boss? The listener realizes that these tasks are, in actuality, for people under a boss. Perhaps these are tasks that an unknowing worker would -think- a boss does. Even assuming that Andy is acting as he thinks a boss should act (regardless of whether or not his ideas of a boss' work are correct or false), he quickly tumbles into a series of actions unbecoming of any boss. This series of actions occurs after his fall, which occurs only due to his previously mentioned tragic flaw. This fall clearly mirrors the fall of mankind, the fall of Adam. Adam, in his own way, thought he was acting "like a boss" when he did the one thing that the "Boss" said not to do -- eat from the tree of knowledge. Andy Samberg acts very unlike a boss, and suffers the downward spiral of consequences.
Perhaps the most telling detail of the song is the continued refrain of "like a boss." Does Andy really think he is still like a boss? Blinded by his own ambition and pride (hubris, even), Andy never realizes that he is as "unbossly" as one can be. Indeed we discover Andy Samberg's true weakness throughout this song. He is so stubborn that he never escapes that cave to see real knowledge -- he is forever staring at the shadows on the wall. He is forever thinking that he is "like a boss."
Win.
Comedy stacked on comedy. Definitely a win of epic proportions. Everyone should listen to this song and come here just to read this.
I agree with Jon. Sarcastic overanalysises makes the best comedy.

WOW! What a mouthful. But if he wasn't "The Boss" then why would the guy doing the performance review say "so your in charge here is that fair to say..." im prolly thing this over a bit much but still why would he not ask him about the day of a normal worker if he wasnt a boss
I lol'd.
But if he was the BOSS, why does he have to take a performance review at all? BOSSes don't do that. BOSSes normally review the performance of their workers!
I made an account just to reply your comment you know? :-)<br /> First of all, bosses also have performance reviews and can be promoted or descended like everyone else.<br /> Second, not everyone has to like the boss why Debra should do it? <br /> (if you dont believe me watch The Office)<br /> And third, Andy is just kidding theres nothing psicological!<br /> XD<br /> Anyway, this is one of my favourites from them<br /> <br />
You typed this big message LIKE A BOSS, You are one of the reasons why i made an account, to read big comments on awesome songs and reply to them.
It's not "like a boss", it's "LIKE A BOWSE"
Ever since watching it, I can never say "pussy out" without the hand motions.
probably the best song on the album
Hahahaha, love the song, but the best song on the album is deffinitley <u>jizz in my Pants</u> for sure.
I love this song "like a boss" :P
lulz cajunking, I made a profile just to write the same thing.
the video for this is amazing.
I can never listen to the Slim Thug version of this song ever again without laughing. This did to the original version what Weird Al's White and Nerdy did to Ridin' Dirty back in the day. Fucking amazing.
EAT A BAGEL, LIKE A BOSS
cajunking not to degrade your otherwise spot on analysis of this herat rending tale of "the boss" i think it is more likely that this is his journey from the lowly Boss to being capable of bombing the russians deborah represents his struggles with those that simply obstruct his passsage up the ladder of power i guess what im trying to say that if he wasnt the boss why would he have a performance review if not to look back on past highs and lows? hahaha
