@[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.
She calls him early cause she knows he'll be asleep
She leaves a message after the beep
She says she's better now but she's still incomplete
She's tryin' hard to make her voice sound soft and sweet
(Yeah)
A couple hours pass 'till he picks up the phone
He wasn't ready for the shock he holds his breath down
He plays the message twice and then the dial tone
Reminds him that she's not around its a lonely sound
He's got perspective and she's got nothing left and he wonders why he can’t go on
He's singin'
Would she, could she've been think of me all along?
And if I asked her would she tell me the truth?
'Cause it's a long way down when your hopes are high as mountains
And I am worried that I'm fallin' for you
She's like an hour glass that never got the sand
She's hollow and transparent like an infant
He is a lonely boy but he still loves his life
He doesn't look to make a scene he looks to make right
He's got perspective and she's got nothing left
And he wonders why he can't go on
He's singin'
Would she, could she've been think of me all along?
And if I asked her would she tell me the truth?
'Cause it's a long way down when your hopes are high as mountains
And I am worried that I'm fallin' for you
I'm holdin' out
I'm strong and I'm proud
And there's a new heart I've got thinking on me
It's time you face yourself
Take a look at this girl and you'll see what I see
Could she, would she've been think of me all along?
And if I asked her would she tell me the truth?
'Cause it's a long way down when your hopes are high as mountains
And I am worried that I'm fallin' for you
Could she would she've she've been think of me all along
And if I asked her would she tell me the truth
'Cause it's a long way down when your hopes are high as mountains
And I am worried that I'm fallin' for you
Say it's a long way down when your hopes are high
As mountains and I'm worried
That I'm fallin' for you
She leaves a message after the beep
She says she's better now but she's still incomplete
She's tryin' hard to make her voice sound soft and sweet
(Yeah)

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.

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.
This is an awesome song!!!
