@[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.
It appears to me
Quoting alarms
Guillotine smirks
In your house I smothered
Sight unseen
Sworn to harm
Ground to a powder
And soaked through the board
Don't you ever (ever), ever (ever)
Ever trust my mercy
Don't you ever (ever), ever (ever)
Ever trust my mercy
When will you flirt with all that's burning?
Keep them safe and by your side
Of all that's left
A lucid home
Anecdote settles
In the smear of this corpse
If the larvae speaks
Ask where to go
They mount the maker
With a sulfur in fume
Don't you ever (ever), ever (ever)
Ever trust my mercy
Don't you ever (ever), ever (ever)
Ever trust my mercy
When will you flirt with all that's burning?
Keep them safe and by your side
Of all the warnings that you gave me
With all components in the fault
Have you ever heard me scraping?
It will be hard to hold
Don't you ever (ever), ever (ever)
Ever trust my mercy
Don't you ever (ever), ever (ever)
Ever trust my mercy
When will you flirt with all that's burning?
Keep them safe and by your side
Of all the warnings that you gave me
With all components in the fault
Have you ever heard me scraping?
It will be hard to hold
All I hear mending the gap
Fall in here might not make it back
Call that someone may they hear you
Take me with you, it's not safe in here
And all you ask is why, why, why
And all you ask is why I'm certain
You're holding on
Mirror floats to the surface
Holding on
(Of all the warnings that you gave me)
(With all components in the fault)
(Have you ever heard me scraping?)
(It will be hard to hold)
Of all the warnings that you gave me
With all components in the fault
Have you ever heard me scraping?
It will be hard to hold
They lost the presence they were holding
Looks like the tenants flickered off
If the cell that holds me breaks me
It'll be hard to hold
Quoting alarms
Guillotine smirks
In your house I smothered
Sight unseen
Sworn to harm
Ground to a powder
And soaked through the board
Don't you ever (ever), ever (ever)
Ever trust my mercy
Don't you ever (ever), ever (ever)
Ever trust my mercy
When will you flirt with all that's burning?
Keep them safe and by your side
Of all that's left
A lucid home
Anecdote settles
In the smear of this corpse
If the larvae speaks
Ask where to go
They mount the maker
With a sulfur in fume
Don't you ever (ever), ever (ever)
Ever trust my mercy
Don't you ever (ever), ever (ever)
Ever trust my mercy
When will you flirt with all that's burning?
Keep them safe and by your side
Of all the warnings that you gave me
With all components in the fault
Have you ever heard me scraping?
It will be hard to hold
Don't you ever (ever), ever (ever)
Ever trust my mercy
Don't you ever (ever), ever (ever)
Ever trust my mercy
When will you flirt with all that's burning?
Keep them safe and by your side
Of all the warnings that you gave me
With all components in the fault
Have you ever heard me scraping?
It will be hard to hold
All I hear mending the gap
Fall in here might not make it back
Call that someone may they hear you
Take me with you, it's not safe in here
And all you ask is why, why, why
And all you ask is why I'm certain

If the cell that holds me breaks me
It'll be hard to hold

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.

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.
fucking yes.
