@[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.
(have we not been)
Led, astray and transformed
Confined as cultural slaves
Signed their cheques with our sweat
While the master's made their way
So defined and in line as
Capitalism leads to the grave
And the worst of the crime,
Their values embraced by us all
Yeahhh, We are all so sacred
So invited to participate
Cultivate appearances
To turn in upon ourselves
Our autonomy will die for details
Policed by the public's opinion
An economy of alienation
I, I can't see so clearly
Am I in my place?
Learned to embrace
A life of constraints
and so I've held my breath...
Everything falls apart
This was wrong from the start
We can't stay
We won't stay
We are the purchaser's
We are the worker's
We are the pillar's
Here's to life without a price
to the seduction of images
we've had given our lives
I've had a falling out
Our identity projects need but
Subjective will an an eye for
the Ide
The analysis: uninvest from
the Myth
Let's write our works in the ink of action
Cast our stories upon their palace doors
Displace the capitalist values of competition
For the giving of cooperation
As we will know
A life of submission
To the current cultural doctrines
Is a life not worth living
We are all creative
May we all be subversive
Led, astray and transformed
Confined as cultural slaves
Signed their cheques with our sweat
While the master's made their way
So defined and in line as
Capitalism leads to the grave
And the worst of the crime,
Their values embraced by us all
Yeahhh, We are all so sacred
So invited to participate
Cultivate appearances
To turn in upon ourselves
Our autonomy will die for details
Policed by the public's opinion
An economy of alienation
I, I can't see so clearly
Am I in my place?
Learned to embrace
A life of constraints
and so I've held my breath...
Everything falls apart

We won't stay

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
