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”
If i was the son of god
I’d live alone nude in the wilderness
The animals would speak to me
And approach me without hesitation
The birds would sing to scarecrows
In circadian rhythm
Inside the Garden
Of Desperation, a voice could be heard
And all the plastic politician devils cry
As all the skyscrapers come crashing to the ground
What ever happened to a quiet simple life?
Innocence is lost as we near our final day
Deep in the forest
The apparitions are all in attendance
Phantoms and specters
Converge in silence under the moonlight
Behind this illusion
Is a union of the anthropism
Inside the Garden
Of Desperation, a voice could be heard
And all the plastic politician devils cry
As all the skyscrapers come crashing to the ground
Whatever happened to a quiet simple life?
Innocence is lost as we near our final day
Falling bombs on Babylon
What a perfect ending to it all
Falling bombs on Babylon
What a perfect ending to it all
And all the plastic politician devils cry
As all the skyscrapers come crashing to the ground
Whatever happened to a quiet simple life?
Innocence is lost as we near our final
Innocence is lost as we near our final day
I’d live alone nude in the wilderness
The animals would speak to me
And approach me without hesitation
The birds would sing to scarecrows
In circadian rhythm
Inside the Garden
Of Desperation, a voice could be heard
And all the plastic politician devils cry
As all the skyscrapers come crashing to the ground
What ever happened to a quiet simple life?
Innocence is lost as we near our final day
Deep in the forest
The apparitions are all in attendance
Phantoms and specters
Converge in silence under the moonlight
Behind this illusion
Is a union of the anthropism
Inside the Garden
Of Desperation, a voice could be heard
And all the plastic politician devils cry
As all the skyscrapers come crashing to the ground
Whatever happened to a quiet simple life?
Innocence is lost as we near our final day
Falling bombs on Babylon
What a perfect ending to it all
Falling bombs on Babylon
What a perfect ending to it all
And all the plastic politician devils cry
As all the skyscrapers come crashing to the ground
Whatever happened to a quiet simple life?
Innocence is lost as we near our final
Innocence is lost as we near our final day

@[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.
Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield

I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
Punchline

Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
In more simple times, man could live in peace with nature. "I’d live alone nude in the wilderness the animals would speak to me And approach me without hesitation"
"Inside the garden of desperation A voice could be heard And all the plastic politician devils cry As all the skyscrapers come crashing to the ground"
Religion becomes a mindless craze, and people take their own meaning from it and in their desperation, take drastic measures.
"Falling bombs on Babylon What a perfect ending to it all"
Without some realization of what we're doing... we will become our own demise.
