Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
Everybody knows all the highs and all the lows
And in that nothing ever goes right
It's not up to me if you look but you don't see
What could obviously be alright
Like goin' nowhere, like goin' nowhere baby, nowhere baby
Like goin' nowhere, like goin' nowhere
It's a vision, not religion
And the truth is plain to see
It's a feeling, it's revealing
Nowhere you can hide
So don't blame me
There's no guarantee what you get is what you see
Don't try to find it, just don't try
Don't try living in the past
If you want the dream to last
Don't hide behind the mask of lies
Like goin' nowhere, like goin' nowhere baby, nowhere baby
Like goin' nowhere, like goin' nowhere
It's a vision, not religion
And the truth is plain to see
It's a feeling, it's revealing
Nowhere you can hide
So don't blame me, don't blame me
Don't blame me, don't blame me
Deep inside of me lives a hunger to be free
I know I'll have to pay the price
I may never know when it comes or when it go
I guess it's just a part of life?
Like goin' nowhere, like goin' nowhere baby, nowhere baby
Like goin' nowhere, like goin' nowhere
It's a vision, not religion
And the truth is plain to see
It's a feeling, it's revealing
Nowhere you can hide
So don't blame me, don't blame me
Don't blame me, don't blame me
Don't blame me, don't blame me
Don't blame me, don't blame me
Don't blame me, don't blame me
And in that nothing ever goes right
It's not up to me if you look but you don't see
What could obviously be alright
Like goin' nowhere, like goin' nowhere baby, nowhere baby
Like goin' nowhere, like goin' nowhere
It's a vision, not religion
And the truth is plain to see
It's a feeling, it's revealing
Nowhere you can hide
So don't blame me
There's no guarantee what you get is what you see
Don't try to find it, just don't try
Don't try living in the past
If you want the dream to last
Don't hide behind the mask of lies
Like goin' nowhere, like goin' nowhere baby, nowhere baby
Like goin' nowhere, like goin' nowhere
It's a vision, not religion
And the truth is plain to see
It's a feeling, it's revealing
Nowhere you can hide
So don't blame me, don't blame me
Don't blame me, don't blame me
Deep inside of me lives a hunger to be free
I know I'll have to pay the price
I may never know when it comes or when it go
I guess it's just a part of life?
Like goin' nowhere, like goin' nowhere baby, nowhere baby
Like goin' nowhere, like goin' nowhere
It's a vision, not religion
And the truth is plain to see
It's a feeling, it's revealing
Nowhere you can hide
So don't blame me, don't blame me
Don't blame me, don't blame me
Don't blame me, don't blame me
Don't blame me, don't blame me
Don't blame me, don't blame 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.

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.
American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
I think it's about how Ozzy was sued by the families of two boys who killed themselves listening to his music (as mentioned in the liner notes to No More Tears.)
hold on.. i'm listening to the song and its different lyrics
There are two versions of this song.
the version you're listening to might be one of the additional tracks on the remaster of "No More Tears", I have that version and the lyrics are different from this one.
