In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
Get one thing clear, first you live in fear, then you disappear, and that unity
Shift gear, and I, try to steer, I see a tear, you're so fuckin insincere
Django,
You drag your coffin around
You drag your coffin around
You drag your coffin around
Django,
You drag your coffin around
All around town, just like a dead man does
Just like a dead man does
Just like a dead man does
Just like a dead man
Dead man
Dead man
Dead man
Dead man
Gonna have some fun, so you belong, cocaine run, until you watch the fuckin sun go
Underground, and the never found, and the drugs are around, gotcha tired fuckin beyond
Django,
You drag your coffin around
You drag your coffin around
You drag your coffin around
Django,
You drag your coffin around
All around town, just like a dead man does
Just like a dead man does
Just like a dead man does
Just like a dead man
Dead man
Dead man
Dead man
Dead man
Get one thing clear, first you live in fear, then you disappear, and that unity shit
Shift gear, and I, try to steer, I see a tear, you're so fuckin insincere
Django,
You drag your coffin around
You drag your coffin around
You drag your coffin around
Django,
You drag your coffin around, all around town
Shift gear, and I, try to steer, I see a tear, you're so fuckin insincere
Django,
You drag your coffin around
You drag your coffin around
You drag your coffin around
Django,
You drag your coffin around
All around town, just like a dead man does
Just like a dead man does
Just like a dead man does
Just like a dead man
Dead man
Dead man
Dead man
Dead man
Gonna have some fun, so you belong, cocaine run, until you watch the fuckin sun go
Underground, and the never found, and the drugs are around, gotcha tired fuckin beyond
Django,
You drag your coffin around
You drag your coffin around
You drag your coffin around
Django,
You drag your coffin around
All around town, just like a dead man does
Just like a dead man does
Just like a dead man does
Just like a dead man
Dead man
Dead man
Dead man
Dead man
Get one thing clear, first you live in fear, then you disappear, and that unity shit
Shift gear, and I, try to steer, I see a tear, you're so fuckin insincere
Django,
You drag your coffin around
You drag your coffin around
You drag your coffin around
Django,
You drag your coffin around, all around town

@[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 Can't Go To Sleep

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

“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.
read the note in the lyrics book. IT'S NOT ABOUT KING DJANGO. it's about watching the old Django spaghetti western movies on tour.
the wheels on the bus go round and round all around town just like a dead man does.
