@[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.
Hey, where have you gone?
You used to be the one
That we looked up to
Seemed like nothing could break you down
How high was your price?
Was it worth it?
Nothing in life is a sure bet anyway, you're gone
Guess you weren't here from the start
In the end
Its all a question of heart
Hey, where have you gone?
You used to be the one
That we looked up to
Seemed like nothing could break you down
How high was the price?
And was it worth it?
Nothing in life is a sure bet anyway, you're gone
I guess you were here from the start
In the end
Its all a question of heart
Hey, where did it go?
Everything we fought for
And everything it meant,
Maybe we were just naive
But I still believe
There are only a few things
That really belong to make who I am
Who I was
Who I want to be
Who I want to be
Hey, where have I gone?
I used to be the one
Looking for a hero
In some far off place
Blindly ever forward
Never knowing all along
The truth was right here in my own song
You used to be the one
That we looked up to
Seemed like nothing could break you down
How high was your price?
Was it worth it?
Nothing in life is a sure bet anyway, you're gone
Guess you weren't here from the start
In the end
Its all a question of heart
Hey, where have you gone?
You used to be the one
That we looked up to
Seemed like nothing could break you down
How high was the price?
And was it worth it?
Nothing in life is a sure bet anyway, you're gone
I guess you were here from the start
In the end
Its all a question of heart
Hey, where did it go?
Everything we fought for
And everything it meant,
Maybe we were just naive
But I still believe
There are only a few things
That really belong to make who I am
Who I was
Who I want to be
Who I want to be
Hey, where have I gone?
I used to be the one
Looking for a hero
In some far off place
Blindly ever forward
Never knowing all along
The truth was right here in my own song

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.
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.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. 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.
Page
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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.
