@[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 bite my nails but I could stop it if I tried
It does not rule my life; it's a small distraction
I can't complain since there's a roof over my head
My girlfriend's in my bed; she watches me when I'm asleep
We hardly disagree
We forget our anniversaries
We've got love figured out
So we think it's dumb to count
I can be bitter, but I'm not like that all the time
My past keeps me in line cause I remember
I am a skeptic, but that don't mean that I can't feel
I know when it is real, we are the definition
She says "you just always know"
And will I call her on the phone?
She wants to stay up till it's light
So we can say nice things all night
And we don't know what we would do
If we hadn't stayed up
And if we hadn't had that talk
And if I hadn't killed that bug
It's been so easy
That we haven't had to work
Like a spoiled little kid
The only life he knows
Is a comfortable bliss
We keep dissecting
Like we keep each other strong
Like we keep each other sharp
Like we've been away so long
But we come back, we pick up where we left off
Like we were never even gone
And our life is not a movie
But sometimes we play adults
Our life is not a movie
But sometimes we play adults
It does not rule my life; it's a small distraction
I can't complain since there's a roof over my head
My girlfriend's in my bed; she watches me when I'm asleep
We hardly disagree
We forget our anniversaries
We've got love figured out
So we think it's dumb to count
I can be bitter, but I'm not like that all the time
My past keeps me in line cause I remember
I am a skeptic, but that don't mean that I can't feel
I know when it is real, we are the definition
She says "you just always know"
And will I call her on the phone?
She wants to stay up till it's light
So we can say nice things all night
And we don't know what we would do
If we hadn't stayed up
And if we hadn't had that talk
And if I hadn't killed that bug
It's been so easy
That we haven't had to work
Like a spoiled little kid
The only life he knows
Is a comfortable bliss
We keep dissecting
Like we keep each other strong
Like we keep each other sharp
Like we've been away so long
But we come back, we pick up where we left off
Like we were never even gone
And our life is not a movie
But sometimes we play adults
Our life is not a movie
But sometimes we play adults

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

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.

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.
