@[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.
Life, so they say,
is but a game and we let it slip away.
Love, like the Autumn sun,
should be dyin' but it's only just begun.
Like the twilight in the road up ahead,
they don't see just where we're goin'.
And all the secrets in the Universe,
whisper in our ears and all the years will come and go,
take us up, always up.
We may never pass this way again.
We may never pass this way again.
We may never pass this way again.
Dreams, so they say,
are for the fools and they let 'em drift away.
Peace, like the silent dove,
should be flyin' but it's only just begun.
Like Columbus in the olden days,
we must gather all our courage.
Sail our ships out on the open sea.
Cast away our fears and all the years will come and go,
and take us up, always up.
We may never pass this way again.
We may never pass this way again.
We may never pass this way again.
So, I wanna laugh while the laughin' is easy.
I wanna cry if it makes it worthwhile.
I may never pass this way again,
that's why I want it with you.
'Cause, you make me feel like I'm more than a friend.
Like I'm the journey and you're the journey's end.
I may never pass this way again, that's why I want it with you, baby.
We may never pass this way again.
We may never pass this way again.
We may never pass this way again.
We may never pass this way again.
is but a game and we let it slip away.
Love, like the Autumn sun,
should be dyin' but it's only just begun.
Like the twilight in the road up ahead,
they don't see just where we're goin'.
And all the secrets in the Universe,
whisper in our ears and all the years will come and go,
take us up, always up.
We may never pass this way again.
We may never pass this way again.
We may never pass this way again.
Dreams, so they say,
are for the fools and they let 'em drift away.
Peace, like the silent dove,
should be flyin' but it's only just begun.
Like Columbus in the olden days,
we must gather all our courage.
Sail our ships out on the open sea.
Cast away our fears and all the years will come and go,
and take us up, always up.
We may never pass this way again.
We may never pass this way again.
We may never pass this way again.
So, I wanna laugh while the laughin' is easy.
I wanna cry if it makes it worthwhile.
I may never pass this way again,
that's why I want it with you.
'Cause, you make me feel like I'm more than a friend.
Like I'm the journey and you're the journey's end.
I may never pass this way again, that's why I want it with you, baby.
We may never pass this way again.
We may never pass this way again.
We may never pass this way again.
We may never pass this way again.

Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental 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.
A beautiful song, probably inspired by the Ba'hai faith shared by S&C. We don't know what comes next in life, what's over the horizona and particulrly what comes after death, so carpe diem. Enjoy life, live it, be glad.
