This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
You sit me down to explain all
the trials you've endured
Around and around the refrain
rings the same each time it's heard
Entertain the notion,
entertain the notion
That the only thing I hear is
the crack of a smile in a face
That ain't so sincere
When I'm measuring out your qualities
It is only as deep as your modesty
As your insides fall to pieces,
shattered by the silent treatment
Things are only fragile 'til they break
Feigning your humility
It only serves to weaken the most
common observations that you make
Drown me out in conversation,
surf a wave of provocation
Wash away my interest in your wake
I think you can, reach a place
where the impetus is pure
You'll understand, a disgrace is
the thing that makes us feel..
"Level on the inside,
level on the outside"
I'm content to know it
Level on the inside,
level on the outside
I don't need to show it
the trials you've endured
Around and around the refrain
rings the same each time it's heard
Entertain the notion,
entertain the notion
That the only thing I hear is
the crack of a smile in a face
That ain't so sincere
When I'm measuring out your qualities
It is only as deep as your modesty
As your insides fall to pieces,
shattered by the silent treatment
Things are only fragile 'til they break
Feigning your humility
It only serves to weaken the most
common observations that you make
Drown me out in conversation,
surf a wave of provocation
Wash away my interest in your wake
I think you can, reach a place
where the impetus is pure
You'll understand, a disgrace is
the thing that makes us feel..
"Level on the inside,
level on the outside"
I'm content to know it
Level on the inside,
level on the outside
I don't need to show it

@[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.

“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
This song is so awesome!
I can't believe no one commented on it. I like the meaning of it, too. This person is trying to make the singer be, or do, something that isn't him. TThis person just talks crap to get their way and it's not working this time around.
