Cover up your eyes
And put your fingers in your ears
We're about to say some shit
That you don't wanna hear
There's too many kids out there
Who never stay changed
Who say some basic truth
Their mom and dad don't understand
All we want
Is only to be wanted
And no one's home
And the kids are going crazy
Now while we're screaming for attention
No one's home
And the kids are going crazy
Try and point the finger
While your running from the man
Blame it on the music
Or the movies and the games
Turning up the volume
So that you can hear the sound
Cause what's a kid supposed to do
When no one is around
All we want
Is only to be wanted
And no one's home
And the kids are going crazy
Now while we're screaming for attention
No one's home
And the kids are going crazy
It's just a matter of attention
It's too late for intervention
Never give back what you lost
Cause we spend too much time together
But you're always on a mission,
and you're always on the go,
So you leave the kids at home again,
With someone you don't know.
You were never loved
You had a choice of what to be
Your spent all your money
Trying to cover your mistakes
All we want
Is only to be wanted
And no one's home
And the kids are going crazy
Now while we're screaming for attention
No one's home
And the kids are going crazy now
Yeah, the kids are going crazy right now
And the kids are going crazy now
While their screaming for attention
No one's home
And that's all we want
Is to be wanted
No one's home
And the kids are going crazy now
While we're screaming for attention
No one's home
That's all we want
And put your fingers in your ears
We're about to say some shit
That you don't wanna hear
There's too many kids out there
Who never stay changed
Who say some basic truth
Their mom and dad don't understand
All we want
Is only to be wanted
And no one's home
And the kids are going crazy
Now while we're screaming for attention
No one's home
And the kids are going crazy
Try and point the finger
While your running from the man
Blame it on the music
Or the movies and the games
Turning up the volume
So that you can hear the sound
Cause what's a kid supposed to do
When no one is around
All we want
Is only to be wanted
And no one's home
And the kids are going crazy
Now while we're screaming for attention
No one's home
And the kids are going crazy
It's just a matter of attention
It's too late for intervention
Never give back what you lost
Cause we spend too much time together
But you're always on a mission,
and you're always on the go,
So you leave the kids at home again,
With someone you don't know.
You were never loved
You had a choice of what to be
Your spent all your money
Trying to cover your mistakes
All we want
Is only to be wanted
And no one's home
And the kids are going crazy
Now while we're screaming for attention
No one's home
And the kids are going crazy now
Yeah, the kids are going crazy right now
And the kids are going crazy now
While their screaming for attention
No one's home
And that's all we want
Is to be wanted
No one's home
And the kids are going crazy now
While we're screaming for attention
No one's home
That's all we want

Holiday

@[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.

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.
Great song - simple message, but still a burning truth
