@[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 woke up today
To find myself in the other place
With a trail of my footprints
From where I ran away
It seems everything I've heard
Just might be true
And you know me, well you think you do
Sometimes, I have everything
Yet I wish I felt something
Do you know how far this has gone?
Just how damaged have I become?
When I think I can overcome
It runs even deeper
And in a dream I'm a different me
With a perfect you, we fit perfectly
And for once in my life I feel complete
And I still want to ruin it
Afraid to look, as clear as day
This plan has long been underway
I hear them call, I cannot stay
The voice inviting me away
Do you know how far this has gone?
Just how damaged have I become?
When I think I can overcome
It runs even deeper
Everything that matters is gone
All the hands of hope have withdrawn
Could you try to help me hang on?
It runs
I'm straight, I won't crack
On my way and I can't turn back
I'm okay, I'm on track
On my way and I can't turn back
I stayed on this track
Gone too far and I can't come back
I stayed on this track
Lost my way, can't come back
I stayed on this track
Gone too far and I can't come back
I stayed on this track
Lost my way, can't come back
I stayed on this track
Gone too far and I can't come back
I stayed on this track
Lost my way, can't come back
To find myself in the other place
With a trail of my footprints
From where I ran away
It seems everything I've heard
Just might be true
And you know me, well you think you do
Sometimes, I have everything
Yet I wish I felt something
Do you know how far this has gone?
Just how damaged have I become?
When I think I can overcome
It runs even deeper
And in a dream I'm a different me
With a perfect you, we fit perfectly
And for once in my life I feel complete
And I still want to ruin it
Afraid to look, as clear as day
This plan has long been underway
I hear them call, I cannot stay
The voice inviting me away
Do you know how far this has gone?
Just how damaged have I become?
When I think I can overcome
It runs even deeper
Everything that matters is gone
All the hands of hope have withdrawn
Could you try to help me hang on?
It runs
I'm straight, I won't crack
On my way and I can't turn back
I'm okay, I'm on track
On my way and I can't turn back
I stayed on this track
Gone too far and I can't come back
I stayed on this track
Lost my way, can't come back
I stayed on this track
Gone too far and I can't come back
I stayed on this track
Lost my way, can't come back
I stayed on this track
Gone too far and I can't come back
I stayed on this track
Lost my way, can't come back

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.
Gentle Hour

Yo La Tengo
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,
Magical

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
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.
This song is about depression and contemplating suicide.
couldn't agree more!
You lie. And I shall disappear for a day or so someone too cute to be upset can hopefully relax. May I suggest you listen to music like The Master Plan or, better yet, Dorris Day's famous song. NO wo/man is worth all this fear and worry. You will do what is right/best for you. And wherever you go, you will at least know that you were loved and desired more than you ever thought possible, even if it weren't by someone playing first or second string:)
