@[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.
[Fates Warning Cover]
When the stars are right and you're alone
Take a journey, lock the world up tight
Out of your mind.
The hall beckons your presence, the doors
Open wide you're to decide to turn back
Deep the bowels of this black abyss,
Compelled I just can't resist it, take me
Take me away take me away
I wanna know what's deep within
Take me away
Drawing near someone passes through me,
A silent entity never looking back I won't dare.
Evil eyes staring through he walls of stone
As I feared I travel not alone
Laughter's echoes with the blatant wind
I have passed the threshold deep within me.
Take me away take me away
I wanna know what's deep within
Take me away
A voice of thunder said turn back
Tabernacle is forbidden
No mortal dares to enter here.
I want to know
Flame is burning center of a fountain yearning, waters
Spring eternal, spiritual water physical fire
Above the center is sky, cold cold never-ness
Just vastness filled with stars upon stars
In the four corners of life are the golden mirrors
Reflecting what you are and what you are to be
In the first is a young boy white dove in
His hand, in the second is a warrior in Armour
In the third is the old man gold watch
In his hand fourth and last
No reflection at all
No reflection at all
No reflection at all
Waters rise toward physical fire, voice says
Tabernacle is forbidden never looking back I don't
Dare
If the water touches the flame
Forever in darkness yes I'll remain
White dove flies from the young boys hand
Through the mirror of the old man, only way out
Take me away take me away
I wanna know what's deep within
Take me away
Take me away take me away
I wanna know what's deep within
Take me away
When the stars are right and you're alone
Take a journey, lock the world up tight
Out of your mind.
The hall beckons your presence, the doors
Open wide you're to decide to turn back
Deep the bowels of this black abyss,
Compelled I just can't resist it, take me
Take me away take me away
I wanna know what's deep within
Take me away
Drawing near someone passes through me,
A silent entity never looking back I won't dare.
Evil eyes staring through he walls of stone
As I feared I travel not alone
Laughter's echoes with the blatant wind
I have passed the threshold deep within me.
Take me away take me away
I wanna know what's deep within
Take me away
A voice of thunder said turn back
Tabernacle is forbidden
No mortal dares to enter here.
I want to know
Flame is burning center of a fountain yearning, waters
Spring eternal, spiritual water physical fire
Above the center is sky, cold cold never-ness
Just vastness filled with stars upon stars

Take me away take me away
I wanna know what's deep within
Take me away

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 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.

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.
WOW! Listened to this a hundred times in the day. Never read the lyrics till now. Some heavy fuckin shit!
