@[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.
What a beautiful daughter, that she was
So bright and blond, and full of life
An ambition, an audition and the will to succeed and secede
Now she dances on the skies and on the clouds
But she does not dance alone, no she does not dance alone
She got hooks and strings and fingertips
Lips and provocative hips
Made of clay but not yet fired
I’d kiss you but your paints not dry
One more little hit and I’ll be fine
So pull yourself together darlin’
Soul for purchase aint no ordinary crime
We all sellin’ something honey
Now she purges, chokes on substance
With roaches and maggots for throw-up
Rubies and emeralds for thighs
No room left for ink although nothing is tattooed
A modern science masterpiece for a face
Silk-screened and bulging out
You know the trap is set now impale yourself cause we all sellin’ somethin’
You know the trap is set now impale yourself
Cause we all sellin’ somethin’
I’d kiss you but your paints not dry ….
One more little hit and I’ll be fine
So pull yourself together darlin’
Soul for purchase ain’t no ordinary crime
We all sellin’ something honey
We all sellin’ something…
the trap is set now impale yourself cause we all sellin’ somethin’
So bright and blond, and full of life
An ambition, an audition and the will to succeed and secede
Now she dances on the skies and on the clouds
But she does not dance alone, no she does not dance alone
She got hooks and strings and fingertips
Lips and provocative hips
Made of clay but not yet fired
I’d kiss you but your paints not dry
One more little hit and I’ll be fine
So pull yourself together darlin’
Soul for purchase aint no ordinary crime
We all sellin’ something honey
Now she purges, chokes on substance
With roaches and maggots for throw-up
Rubies and emeralds for thighs
No room left for ink although nothing is tattooed
A modern science masterpiece for a face
Silk-screened and bulging out
You know the trap is set now impale yourself cause we all sellin’ somethin’
You know the trap is set now impale yourself
Cause we all sellin’ somethin’
I’d kiss you but your paints not dry ….
One more little hit and I’ll be fine
So pull yourself together darlin’
Soul for purchase ain’t no ordinary crime
We all sellin’ something honey
We all sellin’ something…
the trap is set now impale yourself cause we all sellin’ somethin’

Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
Page
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
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
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.
I think the meanings of each track on this album are obvious. With that being said, Matt Embree is awesome.
