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.
Over time mistakes were few but I believe they're mine
Faded mind youth was old and the years were so unkind
I'm the one I face the change I know that stands before me
Believe in me cause I damn sure don't believe in you
I cannot deny myself my anger and my pride
I cannot deny another lie
Waiting to find another spike right through my hand
Hope I'm killed before I die
World's divide, long ago the memory's still inside
Chances shine, seven days our fears become entwined
Seasons change our time is gone our souls have grown much colder
Believe in me cause I damn sure don't believe in you
"Never again" are words that echo in my mind
Leaving still holds back the tide
Crucified with lies my blood turns into wine
Take a sip before I die
I cannot deny myself my anger and my pride
I cannot deny another lie
Waiting to find another spike right through my hand
I hope I'm killed before I die
Oh, before I
Faded mind youth was old and the years were so unkind
I'm the one I face the change I know that stands before me
Believe in me cause I damn sure don't believe in you
I cannot deny myself my anger and my pride
I cannot deny another lie
Waiting to find another spike right through my hand
Hope I'm killed before I die
World's divide, long ago the memory's still inside
Chances shine, seven days our fears become entwined
Seasons change our time is gone our souls have grown much colder
Believe in me cause I damn sure don't believe in you
"Never again" are words that echo in my mind
Leaving still holds back the tide
Crucified with lies my blood turns into wine
Take a sip before I die
I cannot deny myself my anger and my pride
I cannot deny another lie
Waiting to find another spike right through my hand
I hope I'm killed before I die
Oh, before I

@[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.

Magical

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.
Over time mistakes were few but I believe they're mine (Nothing bad has happened, but I feel guilty anyway) Faded mind youth was old and the years were so unkind (someone who's more mature than others? Or perhaps simply a feeling of time passing one by.) I'm the one I face the change I know that stands before me (I know what I have to do) Believe in me cause I damn sure dont believe in you (I'm your saviour even if you don't want or deserve it)
I'm not sure how this fits into the rest of the song, but it might help anyone else who wants to try.
