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.
You've got nowhere to hide, and all bullshit aside
You've committed a terrible crime
You've stepped over the line and you'd better be running for your life
Fucked over again, I even called you a friend
A mistake I won't be repeating
I just don't understand how you can even continue to deny
You know why
(You don't remember why)
Don't you pretend that you don't know why
(You fucking parasite)
Because you're living through association that has been getting you high
You sell your soul for just a taste of my life
Now what a surprise, to discover the lies
You'll be telling again in no time
You just don't realize they'll come back and be fucking up your life
In trouble again, I just don't understand
This whole pattern that keeps repeating
You know you'll do it again and admit you can step into the light
You know why
(You don't remember why)
Don't you pretend that you don't know why
(You fucking parasite)
Because you're living through association that has been getting you high
You sell your soul for just a taste of my life
Determination has been running on high
No control, for just a taste of my life
Because your association has been getting you high
You sell your soul for just a taste of my life
Determination has been running on high
No control, for just a taste of my life
For just a taste of my life
You've got nowhere to hide and all bullshit aside
You've committed a terrible crime
You've stepped over the line and you'd better be running for your life
You've committed a terrible crime
You've stepped over the line and you'd better be running for your life
Fucked over again, I even called you a friend
A mistake I won't be repeating
I just don't understand how you can even continue to deny
You know why
(You don't remember why)
Don't you pretend that you don't know why
(You fucking parasite)
Because you're living through association that has been getting you high
You sell your soul for just a taste of my life
Now what a surprise, to discover the lies
You'll be telling again in no time
You just don't realize they'll come back and be fucking up your life
In trouble again, I just don't understand
This whole pattern that keeps repeating
You know you'll do it again and admit you can step into the light
You know why
(You don't remember why)
Don't you pretend that you don't know why
(You fucking parasite)
Because you're living through association that has been getting you high
You sell your soul for just a taste of my life
Determination has been running on high
No control, for just a taste of my life
Because your association has been getting you high
You sell your soul for just a taste of my life
Determination has been running on high
No control, for just a taste of my life
For just a taste of my life
You've got nowhere to hide and all bullshit aside
You've committed a terrible crime
You've stepped over the line and you'd better be running for your life

This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
Holiday

@[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.

“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.
To me I reckon this song is about a close friend who is living their life through you, they only have a lot of friends because you do.. I was in that situation once =s
