@[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'd like to thank you for being
There when I needed you most
It was nice of you to stick around
I'd also like to thank you
For watching me drown
Not saving me, or bringing you down
I should have walked all the way home
Forgotten all your names
And not answered the phone
Well I guess this brings us
To where we are now
I can't stand you anymore
Can't you get that through your head?
I think it's funny that you talk
Like we are still best friends
I think I'd rather be dead
Tell me what you want
Because what I want is what you can't have
I'll take everything i'm taking it back
Call me what you want
Because I'm not calling you anymore
I'll take everything i'm taking it back
All those times I told myself I'd
Never end up all alone i guess I lied
There when I needed you most
It was nice of you to stick around
I'd also like to thank you
For watching me drown
Not saving me, or bringing you down
I should have walked all the way home
Forgotten all your names
And not answered the phone
Well I guess this brings us
To where we are now
I can't stand you anymore
Can't you get that through your head?
I think it's funny that you talk
Like we are still best friends
I think I'd rather be dead
Tell me what you want
Because what I want is what you can't have
I'll take everything i'm taking it back
Call me what you want
Because I'm not calling you anymore
I'll take everything i'm taking it back
All those times I told myself I'd
Never end up all alone i guess I lied

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.
this song is obviously about a friendship gone awry, and maybe he feels like his "friend" was only there for him when it was convenient for him.
great song great band
"all those times i told myself, i'de never end up all alone, i guess i lied"
I can listen to this song over and over without getting tired of it. Amazing.
i think a friend of his, or theres basically backstabbed them. and not having there friends support doing a time in need really made him realize they were never a good friend, it was all a lie. but the whole "i told myself id never end up all alone" that leads to a relationship id say. maybe it was about a girlfriend
