There is a beauty in being nobody... The author likes being a nobody, so that people don't obsess over them.
Requires sorest need.
you have to know what it feels like to have nothing, in order to be successful
Host
what is Host referring to? why is it capitalized
Without, the night was cold and wet, but in the small parlor of Lakesnam Villa the blinds were drawn and the fire burned brightly. Father and son were at chess, the former, who possessed ideas about the game involving radical changes, putting his king into such sharp and unnecessary perils that it even provoked comment from the whitehaired old lady knitting placidly by the fire.
the setting is in England, in a small villa out in the country
"That's the worst of living so far out," bawled Mr. White, with sudden and unlooked-for violence; "of all the beastly, slushy, out-of-the-way places to live in, this is the worst. Pathway's a bog, and the road's a torrent. I don't know what people are thinking about. I suppose because only two houses on the road are let, they think it doesn't matter."
the setting of this story is somewhere in the country in England in a small villa
"I don't know what the first two were, but the third was for death

This is foreshadowing of the gruesome ending
The morning of June 27th was clear and sunny, with the fresh warmth of a full-summer day; the flowers were blossoming profusely and the grass was richly green. The people of the village began to gather in the square, between the post office and the bank, around ten o'clock; in some towns there were so many people that the lottery took two days and had to be started on June 2th. but in this village, where there were only about three hundred people, the whole lottery took less than two hours, so it could begin at ten o'clock in the morning and still be through in time to allow the villagers to get home for noon dinner.
The author describes this cute little town as being bright and sunny, and paints a happy image of it. This is ironic because you would never expect anything so gruesome to happen at the end, or something so gruesome to take place in a town like that
You look so proud standing there with a frown and a cigarette

this is a rhyme, because "together" and "clever" rhyme. The author did this in order to make the song more enjoyable, ans pleasing to the ear
Out on the terrace
This is symbolism, to show how they think everything is fine, and how they are unaware of how destructive they are being- thy are out on a terrace, living "the life", above the rest of the world/reality.
We were stayin' in Paris (If we go down) We were stayin' in Paris (If we go down) We were stayin' in Paris (If we go down) We were stayin' in Paris (If we go down)
the author uses repetition in order to convey this message further- that the people in the song are in this dream world, and completely unaware of the damage they are doing
