Maybe it could wait another day
For as it were I'm better off along without my feet
If laziness could be a middle name
Initial me so I could wander off and fall asleep

We've all recovered though still to stand
With no excuses for us to tell
So please allow sometime to pass

We've peeled our spirits into a hole
With no provisions left to share
Yet still our sleeves are waited down

Wouldn't even believe your eyes, it's all your circus now
Wouldn't even believe your eyes, it's all your circus now
Wouldn't even believe your eyes, it's all your circus now

So there's never reason for your doubt
The same is true and held I hope, at least for me
So suddenly they found another out
It's up to someone else to drag my ass along the street

We've all recovered though still to stand
With no excuses for us to tell
So please allow sometime to pass

We've peeled our spirits into a hole
With no provisions left to share
Yet still our sleeves are waited down

Wouldn't even believe your eyes, it's all your circus now
Wouldn't even believe your eyes, it's all your circus now
Wouldn't even believe your eyes, it's all your circus now
Wouldn't even believe your eyes, it's all your circus now

Wouldn't even believe your eyes, it's all your circus now
Wouldn't even believe your eyes, it's all your circus now
Wouldn't even believe your eyes, it's all your circus now
Wouldn't even believe your eyes, it's all your circus now

    I like barifkin's explanation better than mine, but I love Umphrey's so I just wanted to add another comment. I think it sounds like it's about procrastination, and how laziness and putting things off has torn his soul and motivation. Like with all of the time wasted, there is nothing left but regret and no excuses for that kind of behavior. That interpretation only really matches half of the lyrics though, because the other parts say how they have found a way out, and "it's all your circus now" which sound for sure like a good thing. However, it sounds like he just can't take his own advice, or feels powerless to overcome the laziness, so even though they found a way out, he needs to be dragged along. Like the way some people get really lazy when smoking up, and smoke away years of their lives, only to regret it later on.

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[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.

Plastic Bag
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.
