@[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.
I'm at the grocery store and there you are, just watching me
Pick up my clothes from the cleaners and look who I see
I try to lose you in my car
But you won't go away
Come on, buddy, don't you think you've overstayed your stay?
Don't you have better things to do with your life
Than hang around and stare at me and complicate mine?
Your eyes must burn so bad 'cause you haven't blinked
You and me will never be
If that's what you think
Oh, you're such a dreamer
But I'm not a believer
In all the things that you dream
Stop watching me
Stop watching me
I go to bed, and I wake up
Isn't that interesting?
I brush my teeth, and feed my dogs
Isn't that thrilling?
(Don't you think that that's thrilling, don't you think?)
It must be fun to follow me, pretending we're a thing
It's just so messed up, can't you see
That you're just scaring me?
Oh, you're such a dreamer
But I'm not a believer
In all the things that you dream
Stop watching me
Stop watching me
Oh, you're such a dreamer
But I'm not a believer
In all the things that you dream
Stop watching me
Stop watching me
Don't you have better things to do with your life
Than hang around and stare at me, and complicate mine?
Don't you have better things to do with your life

Oh, you're such a dreamer (you're such a dreamer)
But I'm not a believer (I'm not a believer)
In all the things that you dream
In everything that you dream (stop watching me, stop watching me)
Oh, you're such a dreamer (you're such a dreamer)
But I'm not a believer (but I'm not gonna believe)
In all the things that you dream (in what you think)
Stop watching me, stop watching me
Stop watching me, stop watching me, stop watching
Pick up my clothes from the cleaners and look who I see

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.
Just A Little Lovin'

I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

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

“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.
