@[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.
Me and my guitar play my way
It makes them frown
The little pieces by the highway
Bring me down
Mine is not a heart of a stone
I am only skin and bone
Those little pieces are little pieces of my own
Why don't you give me some love
I've taken a shit load of drugs
I'm so tired of never fixing the pain
Valium said to me
I'll take you seriously
And we'll come back as someone else
Who's better than yourself
Many faces at the doorway
All hang around
Watch me fight in the hallway
But make no sound
So standing all alone
And I'm only skin and bone and
So many faces but they all look out for their own
Why don't you give me some love
I've taken a shit load of drugs
I'm so tired of never fixing the pain
Valium said to me I'll take you seriously
And we'll come back as someone else
Who's better than yourself
Why don't you give me some love
I've taken shit load of drugs
I'm so tired of never fixing the pain
Valium said to me I'll take you seriously
And we'll come back as someone else
Who's better than yourself today
And someday soon they'll drop the bomb
And let it all out someday
I know that someday soon we'll all be gone
So let it all out
Let it all out today
And give me some love, yeah give me some love
Come give me some love, today
It makes them frown
The little pieces by the highway
Bring me down
Mine is not a heart of a stone
I am only skin and bone
Those little pieces are little pieces of my own
Why don't you give me some love
I've taken a shit load of drugs
I'm so tired of never fixing the pain
Valium said to me
I'll take you seriously
And we'll come back as someone else
Who's better than yourself
Many faces at the doorway
All hang around
Watch me fight in the hallway
But make no sound
So standing all alone
And I'm only skin and bone and
So many faces but they all look out for their own
Why don't you give me some love
I've taken a shit load of drugs
I'm so tired of never fixing the pain
Valium said to me I'll take you seriously
And we'll come back as someone else
Who's better than yourself
Why don't you give me some love
I've taken shit load of drugs
I'm so tired of never fixing the pain
Valium said to me I'll take you seriously
And we'll come back as someone else
Who's better than yourself today
And someday soon they'll drop the bomb
And let it all out someday
I know that someday soon we'll all be gone
So let it all out
Let it all out today
And give me some love, yeah give me some love
Come give me some love, today

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Magical

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
I think this song is obviously about drug addictions, and how alone and isolated you can feel.
"Many faces at the doorway all hang round Watch me fighting in the hallway but make no sound So I'm standing all alone and I'm only skin and bone So many faces but they just look out for their own"
and about how people take drugs to escape, mask their feelings, not have to deal with them, feel better about everything ect.
"Valium said to me, I'll take you seriously And we'll come back as someone else".
amazing song. reallly
