@[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.
Have I told you how good
It feels to be me
When I'm in you
I can only stay clean
When you are around
Don't let me fall, oh no
If I close my eyes forever
Would it ease the pain
Could I breath again
Baby I'm addicted, I'm out of control (out of control)
But you're the drug that keeps me from dying (dying)
Maybe I'm a lair but all I really know
Is you're the only reason I'm trying (trying)
I'm wasting away
I made a million mistakes
Am I too late?
There's a storm in my head
And it rains on my bed
When you're not here
I'm not afraid of dying
But I am afraid of losing you
Baby I'm addicted and out of control
But you're the drug that keeps me from dying
Maybe I'm a lair but all I really know
Is you're the only reason I'm trying
When you're lying next to me
Love is going through to me
Oh it's beautiful
Everything is clear to me
'Till I hit reality
And I lose it all
I lose it all
I lose it all, I lose it all
'Cause you're the only reason
Yeah you're the only reason I'm trying
Baby I'm addicted
I'm trying, I'm trying, I'm trying
Baby I'm addicted
Don't want to lose it all
Baby I'm all lair but all I really know
Is you're the only reason I'm trying (I'm trying, I'm trying)
Yeah, you know I'm addicted
You know I'm addicted
Yeah, you know I'm addicted
(Nuh, nuh nuh nuh nuh nuh)
It feels to be me
When I'm in you
I can only stay clean
When you are around
Don't let me fall, oh no
If I close my eyes forever
Would it ease the pain
Could I breath again
Baby I'm addicted, I'm out of control (out of control)
But you're the drug that keeps me from dying (dying)
Maybe I'm a lair but all I really know
Is you're the only reason I'm trying (trying)
I'm wasting away
I made a million mistakes
Am I too late?
There's a storm in my head
And it rains on my bed
When you're not here
I'm not afraid of dying
But I am afraid of losing you
Baby I'm addicted and out of control
But you're the drug that keeps me from dying
Maybe I'm a lair but all I really know
Is you're the only reason I'm trying
When you're lying next to me
Love is going through to me
Oh it's beautiful
Everything is clear to me
'Till I hit reality
And I lose it all
I lose it all
I lose it all, I lose it all
'Cause you're the only reason
Yeah you're the only reason I'm trying
Baby I'm addicted
I'm trying, I'm trying, I'm trying
Baby I'm addicted
Don't want to lose it all
Baby I'm all lair but all I really know
Is you're the only reason I'm trying (I'm trying, I'm trying)
Yeah, you know I'm addicted
You know I'm addicted
Yeah, you know I'm addicted
(Nuh, nuh nuh nuh nuh nuh)

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.

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.
Indeed. It's about cheating, there's always a deeper meaning, of course.. ''Have I told you how good it feels to be me when I'm in you? I can only stay clean when you are around.'' whole song means that he cares about the girl. It's not about addicted to drugs, it's more addicted about sex. He feels guilty about what he has done with other girls, because his love for this one special girl.. ''I made a million mistakes, am I too late? oh yea'' and he can't live without her ''Maybe I'm addicted, I'm out of control, but you're the drug that keeps me from dying''' I think this happens to a lot of guys, my experience.. it's probably hard for them to control their hormones and then they forget what real love is.. this song proves how smart a girl actually is haha, at least.. the most girls.
