This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"
Lose everything
Love is good to you
I can't say the same for me
Smile!
Love is good to you
I guess I'm not the only one
Q-tips and hostered guns
Sesame seeds on your buns,
And i'll accuse you
Because I've been so far
And I've been so wide
And now I'm finding all these things I never knew existed
Did you take some pictures
Take some pictures, or what?
Since you been gone
Since you been here?
NO! Don't shoot!
Love is good to you
I can't say the same for me
Smile!
Love is good to you
I guess I'm not the only one
Q-tips and hostered guns
Sesame seeds on your buns,
And i'll accuse you
Because I've been so far
And I've been so wide
And now I'm finding all these things I never knew existed
Did you take some pictures
Take some pictures, or what?
Since you been gone
Since you been here?
NO! Don't shoot!
I was in the bathroom the one day at school, when a bar of soap under the sink caught my eye.
I picked it up and the name 'Lisa' was carved in it, nine years later I watched my only daughter walk beautifully down the aisle and she turns to me and says the six words Ill remember for the rest of my life;
"EEE OOOH AAAH. BIGGITY BIGGITY BOO!"
I'm not a crook! I'm innocent!
I'm not a crook,
i'm not a crook,
i'm not a crook and I swear it
Did you take some pictures
Take some pictures, or what?
Since you been gone
Since you been here?
NO! Don't shoot!
Love is good to you
I can't say the same for me
Smile!
Love is good to you
I guess I'm not the only one
Q-tips and hostered guns
Sesame seeds on your buns,
And i'll accuse you
Because I've been so far
And I've been so wide
And now I'm finding all these things I never knew existed
Did you take some pictures
Take some pictures, or what?
Since you been gone
Since you been here?
NO! Don't shoot!
Love is good to you
I can't say the same for me
Smile!
Love is good to you
I guess I'm not the only one
Q-tips and hostered guns
Sesame seeds on your buns,
And i'll accuse you
Because I've been so far
And I've been so wide
And now I'm finding all these things I never knew existed
Did you take some pictures
Take some pictures, or what?
Since you been gone
Since you been here?
NO! Don't shoot!

@[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
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“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.
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.
You should add the part where hes just talking over piano.
"I was in the bathroom the other day at school, when a bar of soap under the sink caught my eye. I picked it up and the name 'Lisa' was carved in it, nine years later I watched my only daughter walk beautifully down the aisle and she turns to me and says the six words Ill remember for the rest of my life."
Followed by the eee ooo aah biggity biggity boo
this is a screwed up song. i love it though.
this song makes me laugh.
hhah.
^see.
anyways, great song. great band.
and i agree with The Fall Of Wes.. add the lyrics to that part hahaha
Misidentified or mistaken for someone else? That's what I'm getting out of this song. The talking and piano part is my favorite part in the song.
I dont get what this song is about, but regardless, it's SWEET. And yes, why isnt that other part in there. It still is part of the lyrics.
I always thought it was "sesame seeds on your buns" But I don't know, maybe I'm wrong, hahah.
i have no idea what this song means someone please explain?
More corrections besides the addition of the piano part. The gibberish part is wrong.
"Since you since you since you since you since you been gone since you been good Since you been here"
And also it's "sesame seeds find your buns"
All that aside, I have no idea what this is about. Eric Sean Nally is really weird. He crawls down the sidewalk while headbanging so honestly, this could be about anything.
yeah dude comical bird is right.. you must've completely guessed on that part cause 'dija bija dija boodah' is very wrong.<br /> but i like this song a lot aswell. and i have no idea what it is about as well.<br /> and furthermore i think you should add the soft piano lyrics part also. thanks
hahaha! "eee oooh aaaah biggity biggity boo!" love it
The piano part about finding a bar of soap under the sink is in reference to an old urban myth at the grade school Eric Nally and I went to; Covedale.
From what I remember, the myth was about people finding bars of soap under the sink with "Lisa" carved into them. Rumor has it our school used to have a shower room where dumbass Lisa slipped on a bar of soap and died.
Terrible urban myth, but a badass song nonetheless.
