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.
What do I have to do, for this?
I love this, please push me harder
I just keep getting meaner
I'm growing from the pain
How about you! Shit
Life, it's hard, it makes me stronger
A warrior seeking victory
I'll push it 'til the end, push it 'til the end
Push it 'til the end, shit the end, shit the end
Knee deep in the shit
All together in the pit
All forever
In the shit for this
Pirate, poet, fucking killer
It's all what you've made me
What has life made you
Made you, shit
Life, chalk it up to desire
Of which I've had my fill
I just keep pushing forward, keep pushing forward still
Keep
Pushing forward still, shit, still, shit, still
Knee deep in the shit
All together in the pit
All forever in the shit for
This
So if you feel the need, bring it, bring it
And if you just want to spit it out, bring it, bring it
And if you just
See your way clear then, bring it, bring it
Knee deep in the shit
All together in the pit
All forever in the shit for
This
Knee deep in the shit
For this
Knee deep in the shit
For this
I love this, please push me harder
I just keep getting meaner
I'm growing from the pain
How about you! Shit
Life, it's hard, it makes me stronger
A warrior seeking victory
I'll push it 'til the end, push it 'til the end
Push it 'til the end, shit the end, shit the end
Knee deep in the shit
All together in the pit
All forever
In the shit for this
Pirate, poet, fucking killer
It's all what you've made me
What has life made you
Made you, shit
Life, chalk it up to desire
Of which I've had my fill
I just keep pushing forward, keep pushing forward still
Keep
Pushing forward still, shit, still, shit, still
Knee deep in the shit
All together in the pit
All forever in the shit for
This
So if you feel the need, bring it, bring it
And if you just want to spit it out, bring it, bring it
And if you just
See your way clear then, bring it, bring it
Knee deep in the shit
All together in the pit
All forever in the shit for
This
Knee deep in the shit
For this
Knee deep in the shit
For this

Holiday
Bee Gees
Bee Gees
@[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.

“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.
American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
To me, this song is talking about how "shit happens" ("Knee deep in the shit"). But no matter what, you've gotta keep on pushing through, 'cause what doesn't kill you only makes you stronger.
