@[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.
Pretty faces grab the headlines
You leave me nothing but my name
And all the greed keeps multiplying
And I pretend to feel no pain
Never gonna lose baby if I tell the truth
Would I be uncool if I could write a love song
I just want to believe you tried to hold me
Spend my whole life looking for it and I'm oh so lost
I get tired of your pleasure
My company's so cheap
Baby take me from this tempest
Take me someplace so I can sleep
I don't want to die and I don't want to live
Baby I just want a chance to be with you
I tried oh I love you
I swear to god I never felt so alive
Never gonna lose if I tell the truth
Would it be uncool if I could write a love song
I just want to believe you tried to hold me babe
And every time you move and every time you break
Yeah I gotta write a love song
Baby you're a freak show just like me
Baby we're all born ugly
Time to write a love song
Come to make you cry gonna go so deep
Tear the world baby baby there's somewhere I can sleep
Oh I wonder why oh I wonder why oh I wonder why
Want to be uncool
Want to be uncool
Now I'm gonna make you cry
'cause the burn it goes so deep
Gonna tear this tempest baby
And go somewhere I can sleep
Gonna make you love me
Gonna make you love me
Yeah
Never gonna lose if I tell the truth
Would it be uncool if I could write a love song
I just want to believe you tried to hold me babe
And every time you move and everytime you break

Baby we're all born ugly
Gotta write a love song

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.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
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.
This is one of my fave songs on Americas sweetheart. i can really identify with it, its really great. Even though most of Courtneys songs seem to be about Kurt, i think this one is beacuse it says "i don't wanna die, and i don't wanna live, baby, i just wanna change to be with you".
I really love the Lyric "baby your a freak show just like me/ baby we are all born ugly". i think that is really great
this song is so amazing i love it.
it's perfect
i wish was uncool
i was so surpised by this song i love it
but i still cant decide if Americas sweetheart is worth my money
this song is so amazing i love it.
This is one of my favorites from the album and i truely love the lyrics and the guitar riffs....this song is one of the best ones on here....This song also reminds me off Kurt and how she loves him so much and also she trys to get across this kinda message she trys to get across in Doll parts.No matter what she fucking loves him and also i like the part where she sings: Baby, you're a freakshow just like me Baby, we're all born ugly
I love this song.. I think that it's the best one off of the "american sweetheart" album. I can rly indentify with it.. it just makes so much sense!
and I too love the lyric "Baby you're a freakshow just like me/Baby we're all born ugly" That lyric just is wonderful
Love this song.
Live_though_fear - I thought this was similar to Doll Parts too. Especially the lines:
Gonna make you love me and Someday you will ache like I ache
I just love these lyrics.
thanks Relapse,you know what i mean! :)
