@[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 can see that you are lost; I've come to find you.
Even though you chose to leave and go your way.
You thought you'd find more than what I could give you.
So I let you go, still I want you to know.
I've seen you struggle, I've seen you crying.
Seen you do those things you swore you would never do.
Oh, your guilty soul has got you slowly dying.
What your running from, you should run to.
Chorus:
Open up your heart to me
and I will set you free.
Open up your eyes and see
I'm everything you need.
Open up your mind and know
I'll never let you go.
It won't be hard for you to believe
if you open up your heart to me.
You turn here and there for the things to make you happy.
You're on a high, but then you crash when those things tear you apart,yeah your broken heart.
Your broken heart needs my love that's real
and you will find
a touch from heaven is what will heal.
That touch is mine;
you can start again if you will open....
Repeat Chorus
And when yours does
fail you, you will find
your strength in me.
When you fall or lose
your place, you'll still be safe with me.
Come out of the darkness
into light so you can see.
I died for you, you must believe,
and open up your heart.
Repeat Chorus
Even though you chose to leave and go your way.
You thought you'd find more than what I could give you.
So I let you go, still I want you to know.
I've seen you struggle, I've seen you crying.

Oh, your guilty soul has got you slowly dying.
What your running from, you should run to.

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.

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
Plastic Bag

“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
