@[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.
Well the fall hit me hard
I was on my back staring at stars
But it was daylight outside
So I stared up at those leaves
And I felt them underneath
And I watched as summer turned quiet
And somehow it made sense
How it all comes to and end only to begin again
Summer's pile of regrets
Was only spring's lost bets
And if it wasn't fall outside it was in
So just button up your coat
Here it comes, here we go
Just remember tomorrow never knows
And the colors are going to be
Ones like you've never seen
So say goodbye to green
Because here it comes in incredible yellows
Inevitable orange
And you can just get on down
To the feel good hit of the fall
Seasons come and go
And the next thing you know
You're right back where you started
But a whole lot smarter
All that matters is right now
So breathe in and breate out
All that matters is right now
So come on and get down
To the feel good hit of the fall
Well there's a few things in this world
Sadder than the end of summer
But there's a few things more beautiful than fall
And I never much liked winter
But I guess that's the price you pay
Because there's a few more things beautiful than spring
Changes this fall are going to last forever
I was on my back staring at stars
But it was daylight outside
So I stared up at those leaves
And I felt them underneath
And I watched as summer turned quiet
And somehow it made sense
How it all comes to and end only to begin again
Summer's pile of regrets
Was only spring's lost bets
And if it wasn't fall outside it was in
So just button up your coat
Here it comes, here we go
Just remember tomorrow never knows
And the colors are going to be
Ones like you've never seen
So say goodbye to green
Because here it comes in incredible yellows
Inevitable orange
And you can just get on down
To the feel good hit of the fall
Seasons come and go
And the next thing you know
You're right back where you started
But a whole lot smarter
All that matters is right now
So breathe in and breate out
All that matters is right now
So come on and get down
To the feel good hit of the fall
Well there's a few things in this world
Sadder than the end of summer
But there's a few things more beautiful than fall
And I never much liked winter
But I guess that's the price you pay
Because there's a few more things beautiful than spring
Changes this fall are going to last forever

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“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.
Does anyone else find the line "Changes this fall are going to last forever" totally fucking eerie considering that this album came out in June of 2001?
No.
