@[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 this life is never fair
The angels that you need are never there
But sometimes he comes to me
In the dead of winter, dead of night
He’s all that I can see
Hold on to me (4X)
We all get our glory
Our little bit of fame
But there’s no truth at the heart of any of it
Just the brilliance and the passion and the bitterness remains
Hold on to me (4X)
Oh how he brings me down
Oh, down into the ground
I never will get out
I never will get out
I'll protect you from the night, it will never fall
I'll protect you from the truth, you won’t hear it all
I am the center of the universe,
i am the center of the universe
i am the center of the universe
When you're in the whirlpool and they try to suck you in
Remember you aren’t gonna drown baby til you are out of life
hang on to me forever baby, I could always swim
Hold on to me (8X)
Hush your highness don’t you breathe
No, baby hold me in your arms I’m shivering
But what’s all that for
If I was the battle baby, you have won the war
The angels that you need are never there
But sometimes he comes to me
In the dead of winter, dead of night
He’s all that I can see
Hold on to me (4X)
We all get our glory
Our little bit of fame
But there’s no truth at the heart of any of it
Just the brilliance and the passion and the bitterness remains
Hold on to me (4X)
Oh how he brings me down
Oh, down into the ground
I never will get out
I never will get out
I'll protect you from the night, it will never fall
I'll protect you from the truth, you won’t hear it all
I am the center of the universe,
i am the center of the universe
i am the center of the universe
When you're in the whirlpool and they try to suck you in
Remember you aren’t gonna drown baby til you are out of life
hang on to me forever baby, I could always swim
Hold on to me (8X)
Hush your highness don’t you breathe
No, baby hold me in your arms I’m shivering
But what’s all that for
If I was the battle baby, you have won the war

“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.
'If i was the battle baby you have one the war' i really love this part.... he controls her pretty much because of how much she cares about him... he's everything to her... and she cant stand the idea of him letting her go, because then she'd have nothing. 'When you're in the whirlpool and they try to suck you in Remember you aren’t gonna drown baby til you are out of life hang on to me forever baby, I could always swim' and she promises she will always be there, even if she is talkin about her husband, she loved him wth everything she had.
