Goddamn I'm dead again, woe is me
Seems to be that I'm a wanted man these days
I'm down that rabbit hole but I don't want to go
Rot in peace, down a dead-end street
I believe I hear 'em calling, but they're ringing out of key
They're saying listen boy, may God rest your soul
Got a lease on borrowed time
It's catching up to me
Now let it bleed
It's off with his head, and on with the show
The old king is dead, gone in one fatal blow
And I don't believe he'll be coming back for more
Taking the crown of the brand new low
Take a look around you really blew it all to hell
What's the point of trying unless you're going to do it well
So get off my back if I'm a god damn misery
And let it bleed (now let it bleed)
It's off with his head, and on with the show
The old king is dead, gone in one fatal blow
And I don't believe he'll be coming back for more
Taking the crown of the brand new low (now let it bleed)
It's off with his head, and on with the show
The old king is dead, gone in one fatal blow
And I don't believe he'll be coming back for more
Taking the crown of the brand new low
Seems to be that I'm a wanted man these days
I'm down that rabbit hole but I don't want to go
Rot in peace, down a dead-end street
I believe I hear 'em calling, but they're ringing out of key
They're saying listen boy, may God rest your soul
Got a lease on borrowed time
It's catching up to me
Now let it bleed
It's off with his head, and on with the show
The old king is dead, gone in one fatal blow
And I don't believe he'll be coming back for more
Taking the crown of the brand new low
Take a look around you really blew it all to hell
What's the point of trying unless you're going to do it well
So get off my back if I'm a god damn misery
And let it bleed (now let it bleed)
It's off with his head, and on with the show
The old king is dead, gone in one fatal blow
And I don't believe he'll be coming back for more
Taking the crown of the brand new low (now let it bleed)
It's off with his head, and on with the show
The old king is dead, gone in one fatal blow
And I don't believe he'll be coming back for more
Taking the crown of the brand new low

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
Holiday

@[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.

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,

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.
This song in Deryck's words means "frustration with how others will never leave you alone."
Also, the lryics aren't 100% there. It's "Welcome to obsession" "We live and die for shit we don't need" "We don't already know"
