This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Only ashes and bones remain
My hair is wet, my eyes are sore
The past has been fed to the flames
I cannot breathe anymore
I try to stand on my feet, but I fall
I try to walk, but I crawl
Life – as we knew it, is over
And you are gone
Forever gone …
I will not bend to a cross
I will not kneel at your feet
Greed and anger
Made us younger
Couldn't save us when the tower fell
All my strength and all my hunger
All is lost
And none will live to tell
I rest in the ruins of days gone by
Of young affection and velvet sky
A slave to greed …
I do not feel regret anymore
I sense the presence of birds
Encircling me …
And I am gone
Til jord skal vi bli
Dark is the night
Dead is the moon
I will not kneel
I'd rather die
Facing my doom
I will not kneel
My hair is wet, my eyes are sore
The past has been fed to the flames
I cannot breathe anymore
I try to stand on my feet, but I fall
I try to walk, but I crawl
Life – as we knew it, is over
And you are gone
Forever gone …
I will not bend to a cross
I will not kneel at your feet
Greed and anger
Made us younger
Couldn't save us when the tower fell
All my strength and all my hunger
All is lost
And none will live to tell
I rest in the ruins of days gone by
Of young affection and velvet sky
A slave to greed …
I do not feel regret anymore
I sense the presence of birds
Encircling me …
And I am gone
Til jord skal vi bli
Dark is the night
Dead is the moon
I will not kneel
I'd rather die
Facing my doom
I will not kneel

@[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.
Amazing

This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
Page

Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
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.
i saw this thing on the history channel about the goth wars. back when they were fleeing the huns they asked the romans for asylum. the romans granted it, to an extent, only allowing the strong and healthy ones asylum while the sick, elderly and young were left behind to die. the romans had promised farmland, but when food rations were low they sent the goths out on a meaningless quest, causing their numbers to wane even more. they had intended to use the barbarian tribes to fight for their purpose, but after such a betrayal the goths wouldn't stand for it, and so they rose up and rebelled against rome, sparing no man, woman or child. that was the first goth war.
i can't say for sure that's what the song is about, but whenever i listen to it, the song is called to mind.
..er, i meant whenever i listen to the song that event is called to mind.
