The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
So I want you for me to die
So I want you for me to die
So I want you for me to die
So I want you for me to die
血走る両眼 隠し 孤独は呑込む 必要に迫る声は
紛れもなく欲しがる君の言葉で 必要とされる喜びに
少し爪を噛む 俺はほんの少し爪を噛む
触れられない 触れさせない
触れら
Blind sorrow
泣いてる手首 隠し 流れるミルクに 執拗に黙る猫は
欲しくもない零れたミルクが気になる
それが愛なのか? 過ちか?
(ほんの少し君を見る)
俺は ほんの少し君を見る
触れられない 触れさせない
触れら
君は待つ事が苦手だろう?
だから泣かずにおやすみ
俺に何を求めているの?
綺麗だとか何だとか言えば眠れるのか?
(Don't do an excessive thing)
(Don't do an excessive thing)
(Don't do an excessive thing)
(Don't do an excessive thing)
(Don't do an excessive thing)
(Don't do an excessive thing)
(Don't do an excessive thing)
(Don't do an excessive thing)
揺れている視界 映す 現実は実際で
執拗に試す君は
同意がない俺に腹を立てる 自分を見失っている君に
俺はもう一度恋をする
俺はもう一度恋をする
触れられない 触れさせない
触れられない
Blind sorrow
窓辺に置いた花を視ている
瞬きもせずただただ
無いものねだり 孕む希望 聞こえないのはこの子の
くらくらくらい暗い恐い
昔話で宥めよう
泣き真似上手な俺はまた
ミルクと笑みを零して
産まれない (Don't do an excessive thing)
(Don't do an excessive thing) 事実を
(Don't do an excessive thing) 与える
So I want you for me to die
So I want you for me to die
So I want you for me to die

@[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.

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.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
Yeah that makes sense to me ^^
