@[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.
In car parks,
with broken hearts
Escaping,
the barrage of poison darts
Six men sleep,
but the sound track is unsettling
We watched as the pizzeria burned
I felt a pattern emerge.
Those nights that we,
we snatched defeat from
From the jaws of victory
If only
We had had more room to breathe…
In car parks,
with broken spirits
The sound’s so disturbing.
Have you heard it?
Six men stand,
unable to scale the fencing.
Burn the factory down.
Burn that country to the ground
Those nights that we,
we snatched defeat from
From the jaws of victory
If only
We had had more room to breathe…
We cover
We cover
We cover our faces to protect our features
We cover our faces from the hail of splinters
Those nights that we,
we snatched defeat from
From the jaws of victory
If only
We had had more room to breathe...
with broken hearts
Escaping,
the barrage of poison darts
Six men sleep,
but the sound track is unsettling
We watched as the pizzeria burned
I felt a pattern emerge.
Those nights that we,
we snatched defeat from
From the jaws of victory
If only
We had had more room to breathe…
In car parks,
with broken spirits
The sound’s so disturbing.
Have you heard it?
Six men stand,
unable to scale the fencing.
Burn the factory down.
Burn that country to the ground
Those nights that we,
we snatched defeat from
From the jaws of victory
If only
We had had more room to breathe…
We cover
We cover
We cover our faces to protect our features
We cover our faces from the hail of splinters
Those nights that we,
we snatched defeat from
From the jaws of victory
If only
We had had more room to breathe...

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.

Amazing

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.

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.
