@[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.
泥だらけよ 馴染めない都会で
同じように笑えない うつむいて歩いたの
急ぎ足で すれ違う人たち
「夢は叶いましたか?」 アタシまだモガいてる
子供の頃に戻るよりも 今をうまく生きてみたいよ
怖がりは 生まれつき
陽のあたる場所に出て 両手を広げてみたなら
あの空 越えてゆけるかな? なんて思ったんだ
飛び立つ為の翼 それは まだ見えない
カンタンに 行かないから 生きてゆける
濡れた子犬 拾いあげただけで
ちょっと笑えちゃうほど 涙がこぼれてきた
愛されたい 愛されたいばかり
アタシ言っていたよね 求めるだけじゃダメね
子供の頃はママの事 ひどく傷つけた日もあったよね
変わりたい いま全部
陽のあたる場所に出て この手を強く握ってみた
あの場所 あの時を壊して I can change my life
でも 心の中 すべてを とても伝えきれない
カンタンに 行かないから 生きてゆける
陽のあたる場所に出て 地図を広げてみるけど
I know, you know 迷い道も仕方ない I can change my life
過ぎてきた日々全部で 今のあたしなんだよ
カンタンに 行かないから 生きてゆける
同じように笑えない うつむいて歩いたの
急ぎ足で すれ違う人たち
「夢は叶いましたか?」 アタシまだモガいてる
子供の頃に戻るよりも 今をうまく生きてみたいよ
怖がりは 生まれつき
陽のあたる場所に出て 両手を広げてみたなら
あの空 越えてゆけるかな? なんて思ったんだ
飛び立つ為の翼 それは まだ見えない
カンタンに 行かないから 生きてゆける
濡れた子犬 拾いあげただけで
ちょっと笑えちゃうほど 涙がこぼれてきた
愛されたい 愛されたいばかり
アタシ言っていたよね 求めるだけじゃダメね
子供の頃はママの事 ひどく傷つけた日もあったよね
変わりたい いま全部
陽のあたる場所に出て この手を強く握ってみた
あの場所 あの時を壊して I can change my life
でも 心の中 すべてを とても伝えきれない
カンタンに 行かないから 生きてゆける
陽のあたる場所に出て 地図を広げてみるけど
I know, you know 迷い道も仕方ない I can change my life
過ぎてきた日々全部で 今のあたしなんだよ
カンタンに 行かないから 生きてゆける

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,
No Surprises

Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

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.
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 really should be in the Japanese version because that's in the rules and it's what I was looking for!
@seasons of grey since you're typing in English why not look for an English version?
love this song...ai saretai, ai saretai bakari...
but the translation from the original's really bad...is there a way someone can fix it?
@ilikecandy well according to me some parts of the song are still intact when translated to English.
@ilikecandy ,see still have the song ,it still matches.<br /> It's full of mud, in a city where I don't fit in<br /> I can't laugh in the same way, I walked with my head down.<br /> People she passes by in her haste<br /> "Did your dream come true?" I'm still struggling<br /> <br /> I'd rather live well now than go back to my childhood.<br /> Fear is natural<br /> <br /> If you go out into the sunlight and open your arms,<br /> Can I cross that sky? That's what I thought.<br /> She can't see the wings to fly away yet<br /> I can survive because I don't go easy.<br /> <br /> I just picked up a wet puppy<br /> Tears started flowing down my face, making me laugh a little.<br /> I just want to be loved, I just want to be loved<br /> I told you, you can't just ask for it.<br /> <br /> When I was a child, there were days when I hurt my mom really badly.<br /> I want to change everything now<br /> <br /> I went out to a sunny place and held her hand tightly<br /> Destroy that place and that time I can change my life<br /> But she can't convey everything in her heart.<br /> I can survive because I don't go easy.<br /> <br /> I go out to a sunny place and try to spread out the map.<br /> I know, you know I can't help but get lost I can change my life<br /> All the days that have passed have made me who I am now.<br /> I can survive because I don't go easy.
A song about giving something more to life.
@arsosa95 Nahh,it's actually about doing something useful to change your life.

@Nduduzo2002 I was actually going with the feels instead of the song's lyrics. 😅
@arsosa95 Nice,I actually enjoyed the bands and the voice before I knew the lyrics.
