@[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 needles in my skin
Don't ask me what they're for
no clue, except for pain and shock
You tied me to the bed to mock
my eyelids kept wide open
so I can see all that you do
All this liquid in my eyes
come inside my world, friend, if you dare... the curse
It's cold, I shiver while I sweat
room without a glimpse of sunlight
my head is shaved, my body bruised
Can't feel my fingers, everything is numb... the curse
Your reality is twisted
It seems you just don't notice
that all you do to me
can never touch me mentally,
but you can do all this to me
It's not like it would matter
Much worse than, so much worse than that
I can't get you out of my head
Where is that strong human will now?
guess there are things you can't escape from...
I don't know, but something isn't right here...
I guess what you expect from me is fear... the curse
I stare....but there is nothing I can see
God knows, with only one hand I could...
your giggles reach me from next door
I wonder what is this all for? ... the curse
Don't ask me what they're for
no clue, except for pain and shock
You tied me to the bed to mock
my eyelids kept wide open
so I can see all that you do
All this liquid in my eyes
come inside my world, friend, if you dare... the curse
It's cold, I shiver while I sweat
room without a glimpse of sunlight
my head is shaved, my body bruised
Can't feel my fingers, everything is numb... the curse
Your reality is twisted
It seems you just don't notice
that all you do to me
can never touch me mentally,
but you can do all this to me
It's not like it would matter
Much worse than, so much worse than that
I can't get you out of my head
Where is that strong human will now?
guess there are things you can't escape from...
I don't know, but something isn't right here...
I guess what you expect from me is fear... the curse
I stare....but there is nothing I can see
God knows, with only one hand I could...
your giggles reach me from next door
I wonder what is this all for? ... the curse

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 song is about a woman the narrator/singer was once acquainted with. They shared a difficult relationship, but now that they are no longer together, he finds himself still drawn to her. Even though she isn't with him, he feels as if she is tormenting him, and trying to tempt him.
