In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
Six bullets through their brains
face down in their misery
they told him to kill
the ghost along his side
full of rage and
possessed to kill
Kill them all
Moving here in the promise
of a new beginning
this quickly swept away
by the horrors of the past
catch them
kill them
These murders would haunt him
driven to insanity
the growing hate
eyes blood shot red
this eirie coldness
and voices in his head
this is truely hell
Horror!
You must escape this
residing in his basement
The voices still in his head
Driving him to insanity
At his breaking point
Chasing his family with an axe
they must escape the horror
of this house
28 days of hell
face down in their misery
they told him to kill
the ghost along his side
full of rage and
possessed to kill
Kill them all
Moving here in the promise
of a new beginning
this quickly swept away
by the horrors of the past
catch them
kill them
These murders would haunt him
driven to insanity
the growing hate
eyes blood shot red
this eirie coldness
and voices in his head
this is truely hell
Horror!
You must escape this
residing in his basement
The voices still in his head
Driving him to insanity
At his breaking point
Chasing his family with an axe
they must escape the horror
of this house
28 days of hell

@[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.

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.
