@[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 love to get you to take
a few steps
out of you comfort zone
But just one at a time
And have you walk
not stumble into my arms
Just try
to imagine
life as not a cycle fueled by doubt
But more as
A line
and I'm the one to straighten it out
Out of sight
but always in mind
Make your move
and leave it behind
This is the song you'll wish
I hadn't written
With the right amount of truth
that you just can't ignore
Stop reminiscing
and think about what you'll be missing
This is a song
with the meaning
far from hidden
only pointing out what you knew before
Now you feel safer
but life's not played out on paper
I know he's visiting Friday
And he'll stay
as long as you don't stop to think about
the guy who sits at home and struggles to figure out
All these intangibles
we said no one else understands
Aren't enough to have you
finally take my hand
Out of sight
but always in mind
Make your move
and leave it behind
This is the song you'll wish
I hadn't written
With the right amount of truth
that you just can't ignore
Stop reminiscing
and think about what you'll be missing
This is a song
with the meaning
far from hidden
only pointing out what you knew before
Now you feel safer
but life's not played out on paper
Call me now up on your phone
I don't care that you're not alone
I prefer the sound of your voice to
the silence he creates
covering your mouth with his
A pacifier or a kiss?
I'm the other line and hoping you
will see thorough this in time
In time
This is the song you'll wish
I hadn't written
With the right amount of truth
that you just can't ignore
Stop reminiscing
and think about what you'll be missing
This is a song
with the meaning
far from hidden
only pointing out what you knew before
Now you feel safer
but life's not played out on paper
a few steps

But just one at a time
And have you walk

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.
