@[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.
Give me a reason
I'm on my knees and
I'm betting anything will keep me alive
I'm treading water
your mind is stronger
I'm faking anything that I can't define
You're broken hearts gone
And now your all alone
You're giving everything and now you'll break mine
I'm saying sorry
The words are nothing
Your voice is poison
And it gets worse
In time [x6]
This is out of control
We are still locked down today
We keep playing along
With intentions
What intentions?
It's like a bad dream, another story
That's running circles in the back of my mind
See now it's ok to give me nothing
'Cause I was using you so I could get mine
You know I wanted to see only you
But you were trying just to keep me away
We're realizing, We're patronizing
So now its over but the past it remains
In time [x6]
This is out of control
We are still locked down today
We keep playing along
With intentions
This is out of control
We are still locked down today
We keep playing along
With intentions
What intentions?
These imperfections make it hurt
And you're far away now but I know you're coming home
This is out of control
We can't make it on our own
We keep playing along just to leave us more alone
This is out of control
This happy ending's getting old
But we're playing along
With intentions
This is out of control
We are still locked down today
We keep playing along
With intentions
This is out of control
We are still locked down today
We keep playing along
With intentions
What intentions?
I'm on my knees and
I'm betting anything will keep me alive
I'm treading water
your mind is stronger
I'm faking anything that I can't define
You're broken hearts gone
And now your all alone
You're giving everything and now you'll break mine
I'm saying sorry
The words are nothing
Your voice is poison
And it gets worse
In time [x6]
This is out of control

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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.
American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
Damn, no one's commented yet? Anyhoo, I personally think it's a song about a relationship gone real bad, hence out of control.
